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

Probably not, but thought I'd check.

i wish there were

what would that be useful for?

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.

I WANT THIS SO BAD


how annoying is it that you cant have a floating mixer window, or arrangement view


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

ableton fix this tomorrow

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
