David Nahmani Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) In Logic, insert plug-ins and instrument plug-ins appear as floating windows. While there are several advantages to that, in some cases you might prefer to deal with a regular window. That way you can for example have another normal window overlap some of the plug-in's GUI you don't need. It's also useful if you need to go to the finder (or another application) but don't want the plug-in window to disappear (as floating windows do when you switch applications). Last but not least, if you're a fan of Expose, then you'll like that trick. You'll finally be able to use Expose with your plug-ins and instrument windows! In Logic Pro 7.1, to open a plug-in as a regular window, simply hold Control+Option while double-clicking it.

Vankarius Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi David, Regarding sceenshots and plugin windows is it possible, for instance, to have regular plugin windows of the first 4 slots follow the current track? This can be very handy if you have an EQ on slot 1, comp on slot 2 etc. so that when you select another track (in the arrange) that the eq and comp are updated. Cheers mate and thanks for all those great tips'n'tricks 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 19, 2005 Author Share Posted July 19, 2005 Unfortunately that is not possible. That would be handy indeed! And you're welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vankarius Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Hey David, What do you think about a 'Tip of the DAY' I mean, that shouldn't be a problem should it? Cheers Mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelrohanburton Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Regarding the plug-in windows not being able to update... Yes that's true, but don't forget you've got a ton of screensets available so there's no reason you can't make a bunch to work with specific tracks and their plug-ins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 What do you think about a 'Tip of the DAY' I mean, that shouldn't be a problem should it? Right. I'm actually working on setting up a "Tip of the HOUR". That should be ready.. when I officially have no life anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Nahmani Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 No, you can only do this for the Environment window in Logic 8: choose View > Framless Floating window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphido Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Something in relation of this issue: Is it possible hide the logic plugin window head as default? For laptop or small screens I would like optimize space, for example, hiding this window head. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Hi David! Has this feature toggling Plug-ins as "regular" windows (vs floating) been moved or is it just totally no longer available in LX 10.3? As it stands now, on my machine Control+Option while double-clicking just toggles the header/size on the windows Side comment: One thing I really appreciate beyond the brilliant sound of Logic's native plug-ins is the ability to resize them ~ implementation of this is weakly implemented in 3rd party plug-ins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 This option is not longer valid. The environment window can be floated and there are a couple of additional panes that can be floated too. There are 3rd party solutions but since I don't use any I don't have one to recommend. I remeber an app called Afloat but it often caused more grief in conjunction with Logic than running without. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
