Sonar X1 layout Tutorial
Hello,
I am still struggling a bit to get the layout work for me.
How to I resize the track view to the left monitor only? I drab the right side of the track view to the left but it only resizes to about half way of the second screen (right monitor).
I like to work with the track view on the left monitor and the console view on the right monitor.
Then I could use the dock for other stuff.
Or, when I score for film, I have the track view and console view on the left monitor on the dock, switching from one to the other using the D key, and the Video window on the right monitor.
Or I am missing something here?
Is there a good tutorial on this? On how to arrange all windows to suit you workflow?
Regards
Joni

I tried that...maybe I am doing something wrong.
With the amount of work I have now I haven't been able to learn this...
But loving every other aspect of X1...

Chuckebaby has answered it for you, the TV is the mainstay of the program. That doesn't mean you can't have it on your left monitor though.
Just open the program there and then undock other stuff to use on the other monitor(s). You may need to set it to always open on that monitor using your display management software or set it as primary display from within windows (I think that works).
I use DisplayfusionPro for my display management but they do a cut down free version if you need one.

Hi Chuckebaby, I do understand that...but it doesn't solve my problem. But I want to resize it because I don't want it to go to second monitor as it is now. It goes to half way of the second monitor. I want it to be full screen on just the first monitor. Please advise. regards joni

Description is not fully clear.
What exactly do you do?
Maximize Sonar main window, and then try making TV stay within the left monitor?
If so, try make Sonar main window within left monitor and see if that helps. Normal view of Sonar and size it to left.
It could be they do not allow TV to be less than a certain amount of main window size(overlooking double monitor situation).
When undocking it should be possible to move these parts separately to right monitor anyway.

I think I understand the problem. It sounds to me like djoni has the main Sonar window maximised across both monitors. That's not really the best way to work. You should have it maximised to just one monitor. Then you can float whatever other windows you like outside of that.

basicly in there you make 2 desktop . this is if you main desktop pic spans across you 2 monitors you want it to be 2 seperate monitor from there then sonar will open on 1 monitor. track view on the one you have in the first monitor the undock you stuff and drag , open, save,

John T. Thanks. You nailed it. My problem was that sonar's main windows was maximized across both monitors. Now everything makes sense. Thanks to everyone. Regards, Joni

The way I have it set up is simply to have the multidock maximised in the second monitor. I have all other views set to automatically open in there. Really easy to work with.
