Multi Monitor Cubase SX

Calinerti · Sep 7, 2006, 09:09 PM

Just a quick query. I am running 2 monitors (one CRT and one LCD). They work just fine for everything, extended desktop mode. Except for Cubase. Normally I have the KX DSP one one monitor (along with my MX6, peak meters and whatever elsr) and cubase on the other. I wanted to have my project window on one monitor and the cubase mixer on ther other, but I cannot do it for some reason. Cubase doesnt appear to acknowledge that its a multi monitor setup, although I can drag it to either monitor, I can only use one at a time. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

ok the only way i know to use both monitors is to drag the bounding box of the application across both monitors - that's how i do it in logic, otherwise it's all stuck on the one screen

not the most elegant solution, but i think it's a windows limitation

I cannot do that either. Its as if cubase refuses to acccept that a second monitor exists. I can use either one or the other...

there's nothing in the display options or preferences within cubase?

OK, I misunderstood before my last reply. You can stretch cubase across both monitors when its windowed. That way I can have sort of what I wanted. Agree that its not the most elegant solution, given that sometimes I like to see the KX dsp.

Thanks for the replies.

if you want the DSP to stay on the top, you can rightclick the DSP in the taskbar and select "always on top"

i do that with max's peakX plugin - looks cool on the side of the screen

Yea, I do that already but it sort of defeats the purpose of the dual monitor setup. Maybe a third monitor....... hmmmm.

I don't think I'm familiar with PeakX. Whats that when its at home?

it's part of Max M's UFX plugin set, it's just a peak meter with cool graphics
