 |
|
Hi,
Is it possible to have the main Cubase screen on one monitor and have the VST Channel Mixer on another monitor at the same time? If so, what would be the requirements of my video card? This would make use of my redundant monitor and make mixing a whole lot easier!
Cheers,
Neil. |

Yes you can do what u suggest.
- you have to drag Cubase across both monitors, then place the mixer on one monitor and whatever else on the other
You have to have a graphics card with dual head output or buy one of those matrox dualhead2go boxes (or triplehead2go if you want 3)

I had two monitors for a while but eventually gave up for a single bigger monitor as I reached the point of despair as resizing windows seemed to put them in the wrong place, back on one monitor, i kept losing windows, transport bar into some invisible abyss, etc until I had had enough.
Good luck.

Cheers for the info.
Not sure I like the sound of the missing windows and transport bar, but the graphics cards seem pretty cheap these days. I might as well give it a go and see what happens.
Thanks again for the reply.
Cheers,
Neil. |

Old post by now but just want to add for any future onlookers...
On my old DAW, I was using a dual-head video card (matrox) connected to my motherboards video slot, and added a simple PCI video card for running 3 17" displays just fine.
After proper set-up for running tripple displays within Windows (right click, then open video display properties for set-up) By simply dragging Cubase's back-round/back-drop (gray in VST 5/32) as said, it's then possible to arrange your various windows within Cubase on your selected choice of displays... I would typically put my Arrange Window on my far left #1 display, my mixer in the center #2 display, and my VST/VST's/FX's on my right #3 display per my own preference.
On my newer DAW, I'm just using 2 of my 17" display's... 2 displays are almost neccessary, while 3 displays are just being piggish, though certainly very cool 
As for any missing windows and transport bar, yes I had also experiienced this, but as I recall it only happened on my older Cubase song files which were either created on only 1 or 2 displays and went AWOL when I added my 3rd display. I eventually was able to get any missing windows and transport bar showing again on one of my 3 displays...just can't recall what I did exactly at this moment...? But I recall it was something fairly simple and obvious.
