Just been to my mates noticed his home studio has a 2 screen setup - wasn`t on so couldn`t tell is that a good workflow improvement?
Looked at my video card have 2 ouputs excluding the one the monitor is in one I is an s video output the other is def not a vga slot its wider and has more pins - whats that any ideas because I can get a cheap £30 second hand 17 inch monitor from cash converters but they are all vga inputs
Pc Dual core 3gb Ram Live 8 ,Reason 4, Novation X station Akai MPC1000 Novation Nio2/4 M Audio BX 5 Korg Zero 8 Novation Nocturn & Launchpad
Been on live since version 2 but ableton forum has somehow only had me down as a user since 08 doh !

the other output is probably DVI, does it have flat pins? if so you can get a DVI to VGA adaptor.

Little known fact (well I just discovered it...
) is that DVI video is electrically compatible with HDMI, so with a simple adaptor plug, or lead, you can send from a DVI output to a HD Flatscreen etc - digi all the way baby...

Live is mainly a 1 monitor program but a 2nd helps with plug ins or Reason.

until Live supports session view on one monitor and arrangement on a second (without requiring a M4L workaround), it's dual monitor capabilities are limited and is one reason why I often mix in Cubase.
