I don’t think this is ever going to be fixed honestly. I’ve given up waiting on this.
Theres a handful of other things I wished Steinberg would fix but they’re either not reading the issue reports section, it’s harder than we could imagine to fix, or they simply just don’t care.
Support told me a while back by email this won’t be fixed in the 7.x cycle and maybe it will be fixed in Cubase 8.
I think this is a huge flaw when it comes to functionality of a full screen mixer. Unfortunately I doesn’t seem to bother most multiscreen PC users (not an issue on Mac), otherwise more people would complain.
FWIW,here is a related topic with a workaround for 7.5.
Support could not help me, so I would be very interested to know how you did it. In my case the windows set to “Always on top” disappear behind the fullscreen mixer as soon as I touch the mixer (this video illustrates what I mean.)
I suspect that Beerbong doesn’t have his MC set to Fullscreen…as he also said earlier about switching off AOT on the mixer which is not the same thing.
EDIT…Please ignore me if you read any of that…what I was suggesting works only with MC on the same monitor as project…not possible to switch off AOT with it on the other mixer unless you stretch the project window which is what we are trying to avoid…DUH!!
I run dual monitors with the mixer in my second, and the plugins stay on top just fine. I do not maximize the screen, but rather drag it to full size (which is effectively just about the same); and like beerbong said above, I also do not have the mixer set to always on top.
Unfortunately your image shows you don’t have the mixer set to fullscreen outside the Cubase main window. We are aware of the fact the traditional method by keeping the mixer within the main frame still works.
What we want is the mixer full screen to monitor X and the main window maximized on the other monitor.
On OSX there’s no problem, you can use the fullscreen mixer how Steinberg intended it. So in other words, you don’t have to stretch the Cubase main window across both screens when you don’t want to.
Because it’s obvious steinberg is not going to FIX this. They don’t get another penny from me. In stead I bought a 3th monitor. Now all my plugins are on the 3th monitor.
I would advise everyone to do the same, get them where it hurts…
