Dual monitor support

Post by georgelegeriii » Sun Sep 05, 2004 3:00 am

While I appreciate the good use of space for one using a laptop, I have a dual monitor setup, and find it unusual that I can't just open both views at the same time, one on each screen. Anyone else feel this way?

that would appreciated by everyone having dual screen setup.
would be nice to have the mixer open on one monitor while playing an arrangment in the other .

Yes Dual Monitor is a Must Have....

I work on a dual Monitor at home with my powerbook as the second Monitor. It would be wonderful to have the ability to tear off a window and move it to the next screen.
Cheers,

Yes please! And on the subject of display issues, I will just add that scalability of track widths in the session view would be another wonderful thing - those clip names can be hard to read, and when working with a stripped back set (eg 5-6 tracks), there is plenty of screen real estate going to waste.

Old-think for the Ableton forum :-)

What about 2000 pixel-wide single monitors?

Dual monitors are for dinosaurs :-)

Dual monitor setup

Post by Glennzone » Tue Sep 14, 2004 3:12 am

I currently USE a dual monitor setup already and it functions just like other programs; you can't maximize the window. You must alter the size of the window by stretching the edges, which you can't do when the window is maximized.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Yes, but can you see the mixer and arrange view simultaneously? Nope, thats what needs to be implemented.
