OK I somehow discovered CONTROL OPTION M which when viewing the consolidated window, now makes it so each section (Tracks, Sequence, etc) takes up the whole window in large view which is great. I can switch between each one and there is no SPLIT of the main window anymore (which I don't hate, but I like this better.) Now I have two monitors, if I want to retain this behavior, but ALSO have a copy of the mixer by itself on my second monitor, how do I do this? I could not for the life of me figure out how to pop a window out of the split main window (I had the mixer on the bottom half of the consolidated window and could get it out). CONTROL OPTION M kind of saved me and makes every bit and easy, but I'd still like to use my second monitor once in awhile, when it's not tied up to running video.

Thanks much
Tom (DP....geez what deep, cool program...)

Double click in the blank header area beside the tabs to pop a window out. I keep the mixing board in another virtual monitor (formerly Spaces, Apple's Mission Control) all the time, and I keep MIDI Edit windows at full screen in another space, 100% of the time.

Using Mission Control in DP:
