Cubase on Virtual Machine

I wouldn’t run Cubase on virtual machine. It’s one unneccessary layer of software between Cubase and hardware. This might hurt your audio performance quite hard.

In your case I would suggest following solution.

  1. Get a virtual machine software which tuns on the top of the OS. (don’t know if VMWare works this way)
  2. Remove all functionality you don’t need for DAW work from the native OS. Minimal setup would be
    2.1. Cubase
    2.2. Virtual machine system
    In this setup Cubase runs on native OS and all ‘home computer’ software on virtual machine.

As I’ve never used virtual machine systems for Cubase, there may be others with better solutions.
