Show Us Your Control Bar!
What with the new customizable control bar, I thought that if people posted their customizations, it might give others some ideas. This is how I have it set for my laptop - all the modules are onscreen. I've made some of them smaller, and collapses the ones on the right that don't get used much. (You'll probably have to zoom in with your browser view to see sufficient detail.)  FYI I link to pictures posted at imgur.com, it's free and simple.

If you just right-click and save Craig's image, you can view the details quite easily. It has some things I would seldom use, but it is a nice lay-out.

Don't know about anyone else, but I find this interesting. It shows what priorities people have...clearly Sync is not one of the them  After seeing the prominence Bristol Jonesey gave the Event Inspector, I'll have to give it a promotion in my Control Bar to find out what I'm missing. I'm curious why a lot of you are showing Performance. Is this something you monitor a lot, or would dropping it down as a status check work just as well?

I don't use ACT or Sync modules. With Custom Module collapsed, everything else fit. I prefer not to move the mouse up to the Control Bar to see a module.

Craig, I use it mainly for Velocity & Duration editing, though I have used all of the others at some point

This is mine. I have not finished customizing it but it will be much like this I think.  I use the performance module a lot. I need to know what it is doing so I can feel nervous!

Thanks for these ideas. So far I have found that the new Custom Module is one the greatest improvements in the new Sonar. The [Full Screen], [Fit Project] and [Bounce to Clip] buttons posted above seem like very good ideas. I have added [Save] and [Undo] buttons and my Custom Module is located on the far left. This configuration fits with my "workflow" preference which is probably coloured by my years of experience with Microsoft products!
I will keep watching this page to get other ideas.
Cheers,
Richard D

I find it interesting as well, particularly how many modules are minimized vs. full size. BTW this may be obvious but for those having a hard time seeing the bars, right-click and copy the image, then paste into Paint and you can see the whole thing. If you're browsing the forum on the Mac, you can do the same thing and in Preview, select New from Clipboard.

Good question. Maybe the master out, or it could be context sensitive and show whichever channel was selected.

 Here's mine. This stuff is highly scientific. The custom module is at the left, where I would instinctively look for menu functions. The mix module is aligned with the mix functions of the track view. The playback module ties together the tracks pane and the clips pane. Tools, snap, loop and markers are right above the clips pane for minimal mousing distance. Event module is before screensets, to space things out a little. Performance module is the finishing touch of this masterpiece. I wish there were spacers, I'd put one between custom and mix, one between playback and tools, one between marker and event, and a last one before performance, or something like that. About the hypothetical spectrum meter module, my idea was that it would have a right click menu to choose any track or bus output. Context sensitive could also work I guess.

I monitor Performance because I have a six-core processor and I like to watch the little bars go up and down. :)

I'm going to have to give this a try. I like the thinking behind it. The one modification I'd make is to reduce the loop to its minimum size, and put a minimized punch module to its immediate right.
