This is how I have my desktop set up since as long as I can remember:
http://www.koskenmaki.com/desktop.png (I shrank it so the file wasn't so big... if the quality sucks I can repost a bigger version.)
This is two 30" monitors side-by-side at 2560x1600 resolution. It's got everything I need/use all the time, I like to have it all out in front of me at once (no hidden windows) and because my template has 250 tracks I like to have the track view as large as possible.
The only thing I ever change is occasionally I'll cut the media browser in half and add a video window when I work with video.
All the windows on the right are floating outside of the Sonar window... it's the only way I could figure out to not have overlap with the track window. The track window is the biggest issue for me.... no way to float it?
This multidock is new to me, I can't see to figure out how to use it efficiently.
Here's the question... in addition to these monitors I have a 3rd monitor off to the left... too far to do me any practical good like displaying softsynths but I want to be able to shoot the track view on to it. I use this monitor for mixing and for recording (you can see it from the recording booth... I have a faderport in the booth to record Sonar so all I really need is to be able to see the track view... it is also nice to see the tracks while mixing.)
Right now it is set up as monitor #3 and extends my desktop onto it. So the monitors are out of order, from left-to-right they go 3, 1, 2.
Ideally I would just duplicate #1 onto #3. I don't need it to display anything different than #1. The problem is it's a 24" monitor and won't run at the same resolution as the 30" monitors. I've tried active DVI-D splitters, but they will only split at the lowest resolution. I've tried display port splitters, vga splitters, and duplicating the displays via the win7 screen resolution dialog box. Everytime I run into the same problem, either I have to change the 30" resolutions down to match the 24" (I don't want to) or I have to buy a new 30" monitor to replace the 24" (expensive). I'm not sure there's any hardware-based solution for me.
So enter screensets... right now I have the 24" monitor just displaying the video window, I think in the multi-dock. Is there any possible way to create a screenset with the track view on the 24" monitor?
