Workspaces problems with 2 monitors on Mac

Yes that crossed my mind too!
Let’s hope for Cubase 8.1, sure there are lots of improvement to be busy about :wink:

No problems with 2 monitors.
I have mine set up with the left monitor with the mixer on it & virtual synths & right monitor with the arrangment on it.
I use to expand Cubase from the right monitor to the left minimise the arrangement to the right which ment I could put the mixer on the left.

Strange but works for me.

Works OK for me too, I always start from the same template.
I’ve got 2 identical monitors, can’t remember off hand what bred, but they’re not the apple ones.

Nothing has happened in the mean time concerning the Workspace errors on the OSX side. While working on an important project I used my two work places and exchanged projects (Cubase Pro 8 and Nuendo 7). The time I need to reconstruct all the mixer settings is ridiculous, while there is a function implemented that should do it instantly but doesn’t work for many years. When will this be finally ironed out?

One thing that can mess up workspaces on a mac is if you make any adjustments to the Arrangement settings in System Prefs-Monitors. I have found that any small adjustment to the alignment between monitors there can result in windows stacking up behind the project arrangement window on my main screen for all project saved under a previous alignment. For me, this is easily solved by saving a new adjusted workspace and hitting it’s shortcut. Once the project is saved again it spreads out properly when opened.

Also, I’m not at my workstation right now, but I think there are two types of workspaces - global and project. It could be that your project workspace is overriding the global one you are setting. Maybe.

That is not the problem here. Mixer settings get messed up, like wrong channel type settings, what is hidden and what not, size of channels … everything. Placements of the mixers and windows are correct.

I must say: I simply doesn’t understand what you are saying.
This is what I do:
I create a workspace by moving the mixer window to my left monitor, maximize the window, and then I have the arrangements page on my Main display. Then I create a shortcut, workspace specific or global doesn’t matter and save the song. The next time I open the song the mixer window is hidden behind the arrangement window on my Main display, and I have to do all the same things again to have the mixer on the left display and the arrangement on my Main display.
Do you have any idea what could solve this?

Musicmind, are you responding to me? I guess I have to make little screen recording to show what I mean. Like probably everybody I have my mixers setup which channels to show, zoom factor of channels etc. I save this as Workspace settings but they are never ever recalled correctly!

Instead of maximizing your mixer window, try manually expanding it so that there is a little bit of desktop space around it. It may help if maximizing is making cubase think your mixer window belongs on the other monitor.

I have no maximized mixer windows …

Hey
I think we talk past each other, if it’s what it’s called in English :wink: My last post was a reply to you Ulesto. I will try to expand the windows without expand them full!

Well that did the trick: Don’t maximize the windows but make them the right size “by hand”.
So thank you Ulesto! :smiley:

You’re welcome. Glad it helped.

Windows 7 is maximized on all 4 monitors. Yes, always start with templates. I use all 3 mix consoles, 2 of the 3 in link mode. The 4th monitor is the project page.

Workspaces is unusable for myself. After creating a workspace, then going back to the original, the track widths on mix console 3 shrink. Each time you leave, then come back the track widths continue to shrink.

What I should try now that I’m writing this is to link all 3 mix consoles, because the 1 mix console that is misbehaving, is the one that is unlinked. I will also try the maximize by hand and see if that makes a difference.

Sorry nkf, your problem seems different than the OP. I don’t know how you can get a workspace to transfer between different setups.

Hi there, 4 years are gone and I still have your same workspace issue reported in 2015. Workspaces do not work on different monitor arrangements. I’m on a mac with Sierra OS.

Well it works okay here.

Not here, I’m trying to have the edit window on my main screen and the mix on the big tv screen but each time I recall that workspace the mix window falls behind the edit window in the main screen. I can live with this, its only a bit annoying.

Time has passed. I have a new Mac Studio with Ventura OS and the latest N12 - is there a solution to the duel monitor problem?

The Problem is no longer an issue!
