Anyone Using Dual Monitors?

[Steve Bolivar]

Is anyone using dual monitors with Waveform? How do you use them? Any problems? Does it help your workflow?
Thanks

I do, Steve.

Left monitor has the browser, main window, and, when needed, the properties pane. When using the MIDI editor, I open it on this monitor as well.

All plugins and the mixer open on the right monitor. I haven't had any issues at all since 11 came out (under 10 and earlier, you never knew where plugins would open!).

I like the approach because I don't use the mixer often and close plugins when not in use--that frees up the right monitor for other things (notes, lyrics, etc.). In fact, as I'm typing this, my browser is open in the right while a project is ticking away on the left!

I use an old laptop as a second screen above my keyboard MIDI controller so I don't get a stiff neck from looking over my shoulder at my main desktop screen. I tend to just duplicate the display rather than split what's displayed and, as my keyboard has basic Mackie control surface emulation, I'm at least able to start/stop/record without having to use my PC keyboard.

If you are using a PC with Windows, there is a neat wireless display feature (win key + K) that lets you duplicate or extend you main screen to any other device/screen on your LAN without needing to have them physically connected. Works well for me...

Yeah, and I've even tried that using bluetooth; although it can be a tad sluggish.
