Vegas has nothing to do with the number of monitors. That's a Windows function. Vegas will happily live in whatever display environment you have set up in Windows. If you have enough video adapters you can run up to 9 monitors.

COOL! ... That is the first time I ever heard anyone mention that number of monitors ... as a limit.

your reply clears that question up ... thanks ... that really does help.

As far as audio control surface Vegas Pro can use the presonus faderport http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/FaderPort/ not sure it VMS 10 supports it. It is a very cool little control surface

It does support the Shuttle Pro and Express (go with the Pro2) you will never understand how you ever edited without it. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ShuttlePro2/

the system sound great.

I use 3 monitors for editing and all is good.

Have Fun
