best switching among many programs

ARCADIOS · Post by **ARCADIOS** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 2:42 am

1. scope platform
2. nuendo sequencer
3. reason rewired
4. fruity loops rewired

i use all of them together using two screens.
is it possible to work with each emmediatelly?
for example when i control scopes mixer and i need to raise volume on reason or nuendo, i want this to happen without switching to anonther "program"... which makes scope to disappear and needs a second mouse click on the program i want to control.
is it possible for all programs to be on the surface of the screens and their surfaces available at once? without a second mouse click on the surface of each program? and without dissapearing of the programs not being controlled?

you can use the win xp function of tile windows, but i think you can't work on nuendo without a full screen view.
There is a fast way of switching applications using the alt + tab keys.

i forgot to tell you (if you don't know about it), using the always on top function on nuendo windows, you can place each window outside the application, in this way you can work with the scope mixer and the nuendo mixer without the need of switching.

thanks, but where is the tile function of windows xp? and were is the always on top setting in nuendo?
another question: is it possible to work with all together as if it was one application? without switching at all?

were is the always on top setting in nuendo?

when you open for example a plug in editor window, right click on the top of it on the grey area and choose "always on top", follow the same procedure for the mixer panel, etc. and you'll be able of moving the nuendo panels outside the application without the need of having nuendo expanded on two monitors.

where is the tile function of windows xp?

right click an empty zone on the taskbar and choose "tile windows horizontally (or vertically).

is it possible to work with all together as if it was one application? without switching at all?

switching from an application to another is the same of switching by a window to another, you should have the larger view as possible to have all applications windows opened in front of you.
I think with 2 monitors @ 1600x1200 resolution you can work easily, using the standard view on scope, you can place the mixer on the left monitor and place nuendo on the right monitor and using the always on top option, you can mix the nuendo and the scope windows having it all visible at the same time.
Another solution, is to create in nuendo some remote surface using the midi device manager and use it for remote controlling the devices opened inside reason and fruity, but i think the alt+tab is very fast to use.

Or
You can use a midi controller, like evolution uc33, behringer etc
to controll scope, while working in nuendo
....still 2 progs left
