Re: [Avid-L2] Mac Mystery . . . help?

 




For anyone playing along.
I got some good questions from another forum on Facebook, and
So, I'll share them, and my answers below, in case it helps . . . .

Dave B:
How large are these relative sizes you reference? And are they measured in pixels, inches, or percent of screen. Ita not clear what the problem is. Also - which monitor settings have you compared and what are they set to? Lots of details missing.


Tina VR:
Is there a difference in which monitor (size-wise) is the primary monitor?

My replies:

Hi Dave and Tina,
Thanks for your willingness to help with this.
I'm not at the other system at the moment, but will be tomorrow. 
But, see below:

Dave,
The comparative sizes were very roughly measured by percentage of screen. My S/R Window can stretch approx. 3/4 the width of the 27" screen, while my friend's can stretch only about less than 1/2 the width of the 27" screen (IIRC). It's a noticeable difference.

Dave and Tina,
I didn't think to compare the screen resolutions of the MBPs... I'll be curious if that solves it (will check tomorrow). I only checked the resolution settings of the 27" Apple monitor. Both MBPs had it set to "best for monitor" or some such worded selection.


Thanks for any ideas L2-ers!
This seems like something that shouldn't be this hard! ;)

Cheers,

Benjamin

Hey gang!

I have a mystery for those more technically inclined than me:

When I connect an Apple 27" screen to my MBP (late 2011 model), running Sierra and MC v.8.8.3, I *can* resize the Source/Record Window larger than in past releases.

BUT... when I connect the same monitor to my friend's MBP (2015 model) running 10.11.6 El Capitan, and MC v8.8.4, he can *not* resize the Source/Rec Window as large as I can.

I've checked the OS monitor settings, they're the same on both MBPs. In Avid: I've also made new User Settings, and tested a new project, and trashed MCState (actually, trashed the entire Settings folder, too)... and upgraded him to 8.8.4 . . . And the Src/Rec window STILL will not get larger than before (i.e. does not get as large as mine).

Since his MBP is more recent (2015) than mine (2011), my thinking is that it isn't a graphics card thing. And his OS and MC versions are compatible (I checked the all mighty Avid Version Matrix). 

So . . . what do I need some schooling on?
Anyone know what switch I need to flip to make it work as mine does?

THANKS for your help all!

Cheers,

-B
