Question Dual monitor vs single monitor setup

Hello,

I am considering buying a second display (or maybe even 3, as my MacPro has 2 video cards inside), but wondering if PT9 supports multiple monitors (and if the window configuration feature supports save & recall of window setups)

YES YES and OH YES! I take advantage of these window configurations, it's really great.

Me too. I cringe at the thought of working a single monitor, unless I am on a friend's 37" with a C24. Even then, we use a 20" on the side for Melodyne.

The ideal setup for Pro Tools is 2 or three monitors: one for mix, one for edit and sometimes one for plugins.

Default Re: Dual monitor vs single monitor setup

Ok, so I hook up a second LCD monitor to have a dual monitor setup, and I move my Mix window over to the second monitor. Now, when I click on a plugin on my Mix window (2nd monitor), the plugin pops up on my Edit window on my first monitor...

Is there a way to have the plugins pop up on my Mix window/Second Monitor?

That's a strange one. But try this, open the session up and move the mix and edit windows to each corisponding side you chose, Save, and close session.
Open back up and that might fix it. If it didn't, then do the same thing but then quite pt, trash your digi pref and open your session again and see if that fixed it.
