V9 question 2 - detach everything?

[BillW]

I read somewhere (can't find it easily) how in V9 I can undock or detach more than just the project/sound/mixer/library section.

It seems that "details" area undocks as a separate window no different than previous versions.

Did I read that right? Or am I missing something else?

Hi,

Hover your mouse cursor over the left side of a tab, then click on the three small lines that appear and then drag the tab somewhere.



You can also undock the main transport.

OK - Figured out how to do the transport bar (3 horizontal lines not visible in light mode at least until I hover on it)

And the mixer etc (similar)

(EDIT - thanks Greg - we cross posted)

What about tracks? I can move them up/down as before but I don't see how to undock them

EDIT - maybe the picture in "New in 9" is misleading and you can't do tracks?

Yes, it works same the way it did before... Click on track, hold and move.

[BillW]

But the tracks themselves can't be undocked into separate windows?

[Mark Bliss]

No, just sub-mix grouping as before.

Don't really know why one would do that?

[BillW]

Thanks Mark. I don't know either - I was just playing around and thought from the picture you could. I figured if you could I'd figure out if it made sense or not.

[BillW]

By "detaching the tracks" I did not mean the tracks on the mixer - I meant on the main screen that shows the clip(s).

Again, I don't see a reason for doing it; from the picture in "new in 9" it looked like it did.
