The “upper half blank” means just empty space INSIDE the cubase “shell.”
Based on what you just wrote you are not understanding at all. There is no minimizing involved.
There are lots of people working the way we do with multiple screens. For you to say “it doesn’t work” means you either have a unique issue with your application or, most likely you don’t understand the general set-up Rhino or myself has attempted to explain. First, are you sure your mix console is NOT set to AOT when its NOT in full screen mode?
Remember to select your VST’s to AOT.
You can’t have VST plugs stay always on top (AOT) …ONLY…if you are using the mix console in full screen or the mix console is set to AOT. Get out of full screen mode and read Rhinos explanation again. The bug people here and Gearslutz have been addressing is with mix console full screen, then indeed it will hide the VST as soon as you focus the mix console…but only in full screen mode, or with the AOT selected.
Once your mix console is out of full screen mode, make sure the mix console is NOT set to AOT. In windows you can tell the difference because the “shell” looks more square with AOT, and more rounded with AOT unselected.
Once your mix console is not set to AOT you can keep VST’s on top of the mix console. Click on the mix console, and the VST’s will stay on top in plain view. You can obviously stretch the mix console almost as large as you did with it in full screen mode except now it will have a “shell” around it.
As Rhino and many others have mentioned there are numerous issues with navigation/focus/key commands when dealing with the mix console.
Remember if you have things set up the way he explained, you can always use ctr+tab to cycle through all those things like multiple mix consoles, VST’s , project page, etc. ctr+tab will NOT work when mix console is in full screen mode. Also remember there is a key command to instantly focus the project page.
Ok, sorry guys, now I understand what you guys mean.
