Re: home recording/macbook/fan noise/external monitors
Title: Re: home recording/macbook/fan noise/external
monitors
John,
Which Mac? Any modern mac has a dual monitor
capability, you need to go into the "Displays" control panel
and select "Arrange Displays" de select 'mirror
monitors"
"so the built-in jack for the
external monitor is not sufficient for you?"
The problem is that if you use two
external monitors apart from the screen on the macbook, the images on
those two external monitors are mirrors of themselves. This
would be desirable for a classroom presentation, business meeting
etc., but what I am looking for is the ability to have the two
external monitors be a split screen which I can use to have, say, a
video image up while I'm recording with Logic for a video project or
film. Doing that and being able to record quiet
acoustic stuff is why I'm looking for two external monitors and having
the computer in another room instead of just using the macbook screen
and one external monitor.
I've ordered a splitter box from Matrox
which supposedly should work according to their tech people.
I'll let you know. If it doesn't, I might look at one of
the new iMacs......
Thanks for all the posts,
John
