Practical uses for the DAW modes
Some users might want to use two instances of the same DAW for, say buttons
DAW#1 and DAW#2. Why? Well, let's take Fernando. Fernando is a young, up and
coming producer and musician and he likes to master his own material too.
On a day-to-day basis, Fernando uses Cubase as his 'go to' DAW to record. He
has set up his template which he loads into Cubase and he has also set up the
touchscreen on his P1-M to load all of his favorite Cubase commands when pressing
DAW button #1, when recording and mixing.
When mastering, however, Fernando imports his nal mix stereo les into his
mastering template in Cubase. Because this is a di󰀨erent task altogether, which
requires a di󰀨erent approach, he has organized di󰀨erent commands for mastering
purposes in Cubase which load when pressing DAW button #2.
Fernando is very organized. He will go far.
This is just one example of why you may wish to load the same DAW twice or even
three times on the P1-M.
