    Hey guys I've migrated from the world of Cubase 7 and am loving everything (almost) about pro tools. But the one thing that I'm having a hard time getting use to is using a single monitor with pro tools? I find that it kills my workflow having to ctrl = everytime I need to see my mixer. is there any way to have pro tools use two monitors? thanks guys cheers!

    ProTools is designed to be used on multiple monitors, the workflow is very bad on single monitor.
    What's the problem exactly ?
    You may need to maximize the main window on both screens before organizing the child windows like you want.
    Also, it's better to have the same resolution on both screens.

    you can also use the pt iPad app as a second monitor. its free to download but don't know if you are required a protools 12 in avid account in order to gain access to the eucon drivers which it needs to work

    I bought a AOC U2868PQU 4K monitor and I think I would have problems using Ableton on anything smaller now. But what would probably be ideal would be about 3x 4K monitors. The more, the bigger the better.
