Mix & Edit Windows as TABS in 1 Pro Tools Window

[musiclee]

yes, a friend of mine had Catalina and an older version of Pro Tools 2020.x
and he was able to access his mix window within his edit window as a TAB, as you can in the MAC Finder.

all i want to know is if this is possible with latest Sonoma and PT Studio?
and if so how exactly to go about this.

i have searched this forum, and found few articles on it, with older OS's
but wasn't able to make it happen in Sonoma

please do not ask why i would want to do this,
or how easy it is to just cmd+= to get to mix page
and how i can just drag mix page to a 2nd monitor
i know all this already, but....

i just like the idea of having the mix window coexist within the edit window, and accessible via 1 click via a 2nd TAB

i will try to get a pic of this for those that are new to this like I was before seeing it in action.

thank you in advance everyone

REALLY handy if you’re using a single monitor, and I use one on my “backup” Windows rig. Following this to see if that’s doable!

i have a feeling that it's a Pro Tools "problem", meaning...
it's all floating windows now with PT, instead of Tabs,
because you can still have this Tab view in the Mac Finder Window...

No. this is a Mac settings.

Go back to Pro Tools and close either the Mix Window or Edit Window. Then reopen either window and it will appear in a tab.
