:D you think that's crazy... Ableton Live only works on one monitor...

...thus the question becomes... half size Live or life full size? 8O

One biggest complaint is Live doesn't support dual monitors... ya cant even detach the mixer or session view, wtf? That seems very basic, as Reason gets big ups for this ! I have dual monitors and only use the other one for plugins when using live. Big fail.

Da hand wrote:I have 2 monitors and use mainly Live for production. Even if Live doesn't "use two screens", the second screen is very useful for:

- putting up plugins (Meters, Eqs, Compressors, Synths, etc) - that way they don't cover what is going on in Live
- placing the video screen when syncing music / sound with video
- when working with two or more programs (i.e. Rewire)

this, +1
