I want to be able to view 2 eq settings windows simultaneously to compare eq settings for say, a kick and bass but if I have the kick eq settings window open then choose the bass eq settings window the bass eq window replaces the kick window instead of me being able to view both side by side. Any way to have two eq settings windows up at the same time?
Thanks

load eq into both inserts,
or
use the eq viewer in mixer panel (check top left preferences)

You can't have two Channel Settings windows up at the same time, no. I don't know if you mean the Cubase EQ or a plugin. If the former you need to be in the mixer to see both. If a plugin, once a window is open it can be managed in 'Windows...' activative both if one becomes hidden.

I'm not in front of my DAW but I'm pretty sure you can have multiple channel settings windows open at the same time. Maybe try holding down the alt key while clicking on the track's edit button (e)?

I just tried this and it works. Good tip! (7.5.20)

Oh hmmm, I happily stand corrected. That works in Cubase 5.5.3 as well. IE: the second channel settings is still hidden but in 'Windows...' it is there and I can activate it, where before this trick it just disappeared.

That is one way of doing it I hadn't thought of. Thanks for your input mementus.

Been looking for that, thanks!

Just in case you don't know, you can have multiple editor windows open as well. Just disable "link channels" in the preferences.
If you have to ask, you can't afford the answer

Anyone who knows to new Cubase or Nuendo could we have multiple channels open simultaneously? holding alt and pressing e opens the plug-in rather than opening new channel mixer

Seems like this is one of Steinberg's many "GUI improvements". It used to work.

What do you mean by improvement? It is honestly stupid to change the default behavior of the software like that. Anyone knows how is it possible to have multiple mixer channels now?

The double quotes around "gui improvements" indicate sarcasm.

Ok, I still think there is a way to do it, and some know it. Perhaps it is a stupid setting again
