Can I have both Yosemite and El Capitan, installed on separate partitions on my Macbook Pro?

I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro (Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3) to El Capitan. However, I have an important piece of the software - Avid Pro Tools HD 11 - which runs on Yosemite, but not on El Capitan. Can I create two partitions, each containing one of these two operating systems and then choose to start the partition of Yosemite, when I need to use Pro Tools? If so, how should I do this? Is there a support article, I can read to help me? Can you Yosemite partition contain only the BONES of Yosemite, and the rest are on the other partition? Thank you.

Yes, you can run them both. I guess the process is similar to this:

Having two OSs on separate partitions is like owning two computers, they are completely separate. You want to see in the two places will have to literally be in two places. Copy the files from one OS to another will be facilitated by a USB stick as if it were two separate machines, for example.
