I have a second display connected to my laptop. I added that second screen right after I got Sonar X1 so that I could keep the Console View and the Track View open all of the time.
I keep the Console open on the 17" laptop and that's where I mix and control all of the channel/bus strip functions including PC, FX Bin, Sends, I/O.... I record and edit using the larger 22" screen to the left, where Track View is always open.
I use the Console View so much that I wish it had a few more functions, like deleting and rearranging tracks and buses.
