I'm using Live with 2 monitors (laptop screen + additional monitor), the problem is the placement of the device and clip views. The clip view is stuck on my main screen (laptop) and device view is on the second monitor which stands to the right of the laptop. In order to add an effect I have to drag it all the way from the left side of my main screen to the second screen which is beyond retarded. Is there a way to switch device and clip views placements? Ideally I'd want to have the session view with device view on the left monitor and arrangement view with clip view on the right. Also, switching the placement of arrangement/session between screens doesn't move device/clip.

If you double-click a track header on either screen, the track fx will appear at the bottom of that screen. If you click on a clip, the clip view will appear at the bottom of that screen. Otherwise I cant think of a way to swap clip and FX view from one screen to another.

It's still a pain in the balls, but at least it's something. Thanks.

I tend to have Session view on the right with the browser open, and arrangement view to the left. Not so far to drag devices into arrangement view :)

Shift-Tab switch the clip view and the device view or with the mouse clicking on the mini device view to the bottom right will select the device view

Excellent, thank you.
