Why can’t this be done with the non-listening project placed in some background hibernation state?
Reaper can do this with project tabs. I miss that.
Let Cubase load up more than one project at a time so we can A/B projects.
Hi,
What is the use-case, please? Would you like to have instruments and libraries of both projects loaded?
By activating the project, you choose, which one should playback.
Use case is switching back and forth between project versions without needing to wait for load times for each every time.
Hi,
What is the use case, please? Why do you need to switch between the projects?
To check project versions and a/b them.
To listen to things that you might want to copy to the newer version.
To consolidate
Standard uses really

I’m afraid, that will not be possible in the near future.
The active project will always have the exclusive access to the audio engine.
You can do all of those things inside an existing project.
I’d love to have this too as I’m constantly comparing between versions. Still, I can understand why this is not technically feasible.
What SHOULD be technically feasible is multiple timelines within the same project, similar to “Chunks” in DP, so that I can have both different versions of the same cue and/or numerous cues based around the same loaded instruments in one project file.
Use at your own risk. Always have a safety copy of the Project, just in case.
I’ve successfully done both of these in the past, but not recently. I assume they still work, but don’t know.
You can open one Project in Cubase 13 and another in Cubase 12 simultaneously.
Make a copy of Cubase13.exe with different filename like Cubase13Copy.exe & use it to open the 2nd Project.
Have you tried track versions?
Yep I use versions but its not the same thing, mainly because as film composers we change tempo a lot and having separate timelines would be incredibly useful.
