Under recommendation from Master Bane, I have decided to make a stand on the usefulness or otherwise of AOT or Always on Top, as implemented in Cubase and why I’d never want it to change, not in the first instance anyway.
AOT is great because even when there is a floating window, you can still select data “underneath” from the List Editor and if you move it out of the way you can then manipulate or edit the information.
I don’t doubt that this would work in other situations, hence my desire to have this behavior kept contrary to what seems to be mass revolt on the Steinberg boards.
From my experience, AOT in Cubase is akin to an “undock” command, allowing a window to move independent of the main Cubase window.
That “undocked” window can then be placed onto another monitor without the need to stretch the main window across multiple monitors.
Useful, IMHO.
Also:
How many simultaneous personae do you have on this board currently, Brains?
Brains, were you Crass once upon a time? Certainly your style.
I personally like AOT, but need it for the pool, mediabay, and the others that don’t have it. Either way, working with a single monitor is tedious, AOT or not!
