Default two video monitors

Can anyone tell me how to use the screen on my macbook pro for the mix window and an external monitor for my track window?

Thanks

Default Re: two video monitors

1. Attach a second monitor.
2. Turn on the monitor.
3. Go to System Preferences / Displays.
4. Click - Detect Displays.
5. Configure resolution, colors and refresh rate.

You can now drag your Track Window to the second monitor (off screen to right)

Oh and don't forget to reboot.
