Dual monitors issue
I installed Pro tools 10 on my windows 7 machine and I have dual monitors. I like to have the edit window in one monitor and mix in the other monitor which was fine in all other pro tools I am unable to do so with pro tools 10. anyone else experiencing this or know of how to fix? It could be something so easy that i'm missing.

Re: Dual monitors issue
What do you mean by being unable? What is the exact problem?
I had some issues initially because PT would forget window settings with each start. I figured out that when dragging the window to size it, I had to be careful not to make it too big (not bigger than the two monitors). That easily happens when dragging right up into a corner. Now everything works fine.

Re: Dual monitors issue
I run 3 monitors with PT10 just fine. Don't forget to close using alt+f4 to save your settings. You could also email "Bob Nagy @ aol dot com" and ask for a demo of "Skootch". This software will help with the issue.

Re: Dual monitors issue
Skootch works fine with PT10 ?
I'm using v4.1 here, and it's working fine with PT 9.05 .

Yup. It's fine in 10.

Re: Dual monitors issue
I'm having the above problem...I'm new to ProTools...but I'm pretty sure I should be able to just drag the Mix window on to my extended desktop monitor?
Strangely enough...the Plug-ins will drag over...but not the Mix window or the Edit window...Apologies if I'm being a noob. But the help would be appreciated! |

Re: Dual monitors issue
That's the ticket. To get down to the basics(in case you're still fuzzy on this), start with Pro Tools NOT maximized on one screen. Now drag the edges of the main window to fill both(all) your screens. The drag the MIX and EDIT windows to the screen where you want them and drag the edges to fill the screens. Now close this session(and Pro Tools) with the Alt-F4 command.

Re: Dual monitors issue
You have to wonder why we have to do this on a Windows machine, when Pro Tools in OSx allows you to float windows on multiple screens, without having to pull the main window all the way across all screens. I prefer the way the PT operates in OSx and wish the same window layout would carry over to Win 7. AVID???

Re: Dual monitors issue
You only have to set it up once, though, then as they said, close with alt-f4. My windows AlWAYS open exactly where I left them.
