Q: How to set Plugins Menu to open Side-by-Side, instead of a Drop-down menu

[Electronic1982]

Hi,

Normally, when there is loads of plugins to display on a screen, the plugin menu opens in a Drop-down menu style and you need to scroll down a list to look through the plugins.
I've seen some videos where the plugin menu open's Side-by-Side (like side scrolling of plugins), instead of the drop-down menu list.


How do I set Pro Tools plugin menu to open side-by-side, instead of a drop-down menu on a Mac?


Thanks.

Good question. Are the videos you've seen also using Mac, or is it possibly a Windows thing?

Just switched from Windows to mac. I love Mac in all ways but the only thing that annoys me is that on Windows the plugins open to the side and on Mac I have to use the down carrot and scroll. It's annoying but not end of world. Running external monitors at 1080p

In Pro Tools Preferences Display tab, change the default setting of 'Organize Plug-Ins By' to ' Category & Manufacturer'
