Live dual monitor setup on LG 34UM95

Post by alvaro » Tue Aug 11, 2015 9:03 pm

By any chance has anyone here tried Live's 9 "dual monitor" capabilities on a LG 34UM95 ultrawide monitor? I have read that it can be splitted on two independent screens. I wonder if I may be able to do that with ableton, I mean the left "partition" for arrangement view, and the right one for the mixer view, etc.

it works on a iMac 5K here.. but i imagine it would work better on the LG because it's so wide.

I believe that feature will be available with OSX El Capitan. They might be running a beta of that.

I just "discovered" that Live allows the second window even without a secondary monitor. Just needed to resize it. Though it might be cool that they could live together in full screen mode.

So... sorry guys for this retarded thread :lol:
