RED TARGET????

[saeblee]

Forgive me if this seems like a stupid question, but what in the world is the red target near the RTAS symbol on the Digi Rack plugins screen for? You can select it and de-select it.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">You can deselect the target, then select another plugin to have 2 plugins viewable. This is to quickly see, for example, eq and compression at the same time.

In case someone has PT 5.0 and is looking for the red target, you won't see it in versions before 5.1.

From What's New in Pro Tools 5.1:

Multiple Plug-In Windows
You can now have multiple plug-in windows open at the same time in a session for immediate on-screen access to any plug-in controls.

For more information, see the following:
DigiRack Plug-Ins Guide
Digidesign Plug-Ins Guide

Search for "target" brings up the following in both manuals:
Working with Real-Time Plug-Ins
The Plug-In Window

Target Button
"When multiple Plug-In windows are open, clicking this button selects that plugin as the target for any computer keyboard commands."

and the section on "Opening Multiple Plug-In Windows"
