Cubase SX 3.1 - Multiple Displays?

[Hybernation]

I am just starting on a 30-day eval of Cubase SX-3.1 that came with Hypersonic 2.

I have dual displays and use both of them with Tracktion and Sonar 5. With Tracktion I can drag VST windows to the 2nd monitor. With Sonar, ANY Window can be dragged over there (by "enable float" first).

With Cubase, I can drag the "Transport Controls" over there, but nothing else? Surely not! What am I missing here?


EDIT: NEVER MIND I figured it out. I clicked the "un-maximize" icon for the Cubase window and Cubase decided to expand itself to encompass both screens. Now I can drag other cubase windows over there. How silly.

Also, right click the top bar of the VSTs that you wish to drag and choose "Always on top".

You'll still be able to drag them even if Cubase is maximized to one screen.

Don't know.
I run SX-3.1 with dual displays all the time with no problem. I usually put the tracks on one display and the mixer on the other. The VST instrument window floats around as needed.

I'm sure you probably know this, but you should have your monitors set up as an "extended" display and not a "stretched" display.

Edit: OK -- glad you figured it out.

From the Cubase forum

make sure the window isn't fully maximized and resixe it to the other monitor, then bring your transport and whatever you need there until you do that it wont work

thanks for the replies, though I figured it out and edited, I guess ya'll beat me to it. Man this KVR thing is really heavily visited! 3 fine responses within FIVE MINUTES of my original post!

Yep, rocketman, I like the tracks on one display and VSTs on the other, until it's time to mix..then like you I put the mixer where the VSTs used to be (once they are frozen/rendered).

thanks again!
