SloHand Solo Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 It'd be helpful if I could detach the console groups section. Has that even been requested or discussed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvatore Sorice Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 You can undock / float almost anything. Does this help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutrageProductions Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 While you can float the Console View anywhere you want, the channel, bus, & hardware strips are a monolithic block within that window and can't be separated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol_Jonesey Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Well you can easily hide everything apart from the faders and float the resulting window 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Best way to manage views is to save a Workspace that is the way you want things to look. So you could create a workspace that only shows the channel strips and another that just shows the buses. For me I just drag it to the right so I only see the edge of the Master bus, Then I drag it back when I need only the buses. Pretty simple that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, call me greedy, as if I couldn't live without it, LOL! I wanted the channels faders on my lower monitor, and my groups on the upper.

Bristol_Jonesey Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Easy. But they stay locked together as one unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want the console channel strips on one monitor, and the console group faders opened on another. That would require functionality to detach sections of the console.

John Vere Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Bottom line: the Console is a view. It contains 3 main parts that can be moved horizontally, channels, busses and hardware strips. Those parts cannot be undocked and floated. There can only be one console view open in a project. All the views can be floated and tossed on as many monitors as your video card can support. Most views have this option. Example the Synth rack. You have a valid feature request which would be to add undocking options to the 3 parts. But honestly I think you’re the first person to ask for this and of course it will be a feature request for Sonar.

Xoo Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Cubase has had multiple console views for ages so it's not a crazy request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 While workspaces / screensets can work to a certain extent, they're a bit of a heavy handed approach. The Track Manager ( "H" is the keyboard shortcut ) can store/recall presets, so you can have as many sets of hidden / shown tracks or buses as you want. The new Sonar actually has a new button in the top left corner of both the tracks and console views, so you can quickly apply any preset you want without opening any dialogs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
