View Arrangement and Session simultanously?

Any way to have one LCD viewing the Session view while the other monitors the Arrangement view?

Probably not, but thought I'd check.

could use the session view like a mixer panel (as in cubase, logic, pro tools etc) and see your arrangement at the same time.

I don't think so. Live doesn't support dual monitoring as yet...but I'd love it even more if it could.

EXACTLY. So when recording w/ my band, I can see the Mixers full screen and the waveforms, etc. full screen. Good thing to have.

This could be useful if you are working on cut-up style music. You can't really do cut-ups anywhere but arrange ... but maybe you want the liberty to trial different loops or phrases behind the main cut-up. Fire the loops in session, in different tracks , while you simultaneously work on the cut-up tracks in arrange.
You can do this now, but it means alot of switching back and forth.
A two screen approach could make this a bit easier.

here's how!

yOu'll need:

One (1) regular computer keyboard.
One (1) one-inch piece of tape.

Stick the tape over the TAB-key, and voila, instantly you will be rewarded with the flickering goodness of a session/arrangement hybrid.

...sorry for the sarcasm there. It can't be done at the moment

having 2 screens doesnt make a difference andrew

you still cant seperate them out

what you want is to be able to open them in 2 different windows
for example

almost every other audio editing programm
