Default Re: Dual monitors issue

No, it is definitely not a Windows issue. It is an Avid design decision. Samplitude, for example, allows one to drag the mixer over to a second monitor with no problem whatsoever. In fact, I wish Avid would take a cue from them.

The real issue might be that the PC platform has always been Avid's second choice, and many of the "niceties" of the Mac platform are simply overlooked or not considered important. Or it could be because they use a common code base, and the windows version of their library is lacking key features. Or the final plausible explanation is that their Windows programmers simply aren't as good as the Mac programmers. Whatever the reason, they don't do it.

But it's not only possible to put the mixer window on a second monitor, it's a very cool way to work.
