@tothrec When I go to a hardware store and ask a store "specialist" about a certain tool or material he's never heard of, he will invariably ask: "What do you need it for?" Would he have asked that question if you asked for a hammer or some basic nails? No, because those articles are included in the spectrum of his knowledge. If you don't know something it's always best to rather than be honest and say "I ain't knowledgeable about this", just turn it on the other person and make it as if their request is ridiculous.
This isn't a ridiculous request! There are many uses for having to operate two programs without having one stop every time you click outside of it. Here's one more: being able to overcome the unfair exclusion of a video editor in the Artist version. One could watch the video from another program while recording in S1, but S1 takes care that you aren't able to do that. You also, as was mentioned the original post, cannot enable "Release Audio Device In Background", because it isn't available in the Artist version.
It is quite concerning that basic functionalities are missing from a paid version, like letting the friggin thing play and not forcing it to stop like it's a 1995 program that can do only two things...
Is this ever going to be addressed? We've been waiting for a few years for a solution for this, S1... ?
