Max Arwood Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 I’ll try setting it up and saving a new work space. I didn’t know this was included in workspaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure but if it isn't, you've eliminated a possibility. What about screensets? Is the current one locked? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Borthwick Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The settings should be saved as part of your project. However if you are overriding it with a workspace then it will revert to whatever is in the workspace. To verify don’t use a workspace and save and reload your project, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sock Monkey Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) I only have 2 workspaces. 1 Screen and 2 screens. Once I’m set up the way I like it I save it. It has always worked. Only thing I noticed is if I open a project that was saved when using 2 screens but Im currently using a one screen workspace, the second monitor will flash the PVR for a few seconds and then go away. It is like the project is trying to open in the state it was saved in but the workspace overrides it. Which is what I want. I think Workspaces are a great feature.

Max Arwood Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 (edited) Thanks I did not know it was in the workspace settings. I don't think the stretching has been properly implemented in workspaces. I set 2 monitors like I need, then saved the workspace. When I reopen the console, it is reset to the installed default (All expandable areas closed), not my settings. I don't want to not use workspaces, because it is a great feature and saves time setting up different views of your data. Please look into saving console stretch positions to the workspace data. Everything is checked except shortcuts, which I save separately. Edited January 4 by Max Arwood Corrected information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 I just checked. In the workspace manager, under views, there is no check box for console view. Please add this great new feature to workspaces. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please add this great new feature to workspaces. Thanks I am confused by this request. Are you asking for the ability to exclude the Console View from your projects? I cannot imagine using Cakewalk without the Console View.

(Second monitor) Is there a secret to remembering the setting of this new console? I know I used to be able to have a full sized Console on Mon. 2 and had a Workspace that would do that for me. If this is the issue for you, I will double check to see if I lost that ability. I haven't used that Workspace in a while. Maybe the new resizing (enhanced display awareness) doesn't work right with a manually expanded full-screen Console on a second monitor?

Please add this great new feature to workspaces. Thanks Yes you are correct. I never noticed this before and yes it must be an oversite. I guess this belongs in feature requests. An example of what has never worked for me is for larger projects when I get to the Mixing stage I like to have all the tracks as Narrow view but I want the Buses full size. So I set this up and save it but I never seems to stick. Now I know why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I set this up and save it but I never seems to stick. I just recently started using a Workspace. I created it specifically to stretch the Console and Inspector faders and put the pane splitters of the Console in a reasonable default starting position becasue I had a bunch of projects made from a template that inadvertently had the Tracks pane competely collapsed. I don't have the Workspace set to be a applied automatically on opening a project, but when I select it, all my preferred Console settings are applied as expected, including wide/narrow strips, though I wasn't aware it was possible to have wide buses and narrow tracks...?

sjoens Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Wide vs Narrow is a per-track/bus feature allowing any number of combinations. I like all CV audio & synth strips wide and all MIDI narrow since the fader is all I use. Busses are narrow when space is needed. Would be nice to have separate Widen All/Narrow All for Audio, MIDI, and Bus strips in the view menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOK Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) I only fix I could find was to augment my workspace to show more fx slots and send slots than I typically ever use...and I just don't have to think about it any more. I mean....and there's STILL 20% wasted space on my console screen. Edited January 5 by HOOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Use a shorter monitor... I see Sonar added Send module Pan to narrow strip. CbB only has level. Edited January 5 by sjoens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First choose Narrow all strips, then click on a strip and uncheck narrow and that strip will return to wide. But ya, never seems to stay his way for me either.

Glenn Stanton Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) for the most part - i created a bunch of difference workspaces to rapidly switch views, sizes etc. and then i use the browser or inspector sides to display full track info or instrument list. the built-in list of workspaces get overwritten whenever there is an update, so don't bother editing those and saving them. if you set your wide/narrow selection in a given workspace, they return to their sizes. the challenge becomes if you're adding them in a project - the workspace won't "remember" them. so i also advise building yourself some templates which make managing all this stuff (like narrow/wide, tracks, busses, routing, default effects and settings etc) to rapidly get to a place where you can focus on recording or mixing or mastering, vocal takes, solos etc. Edited January 5 by Glenn Stanton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was thinking more in terms of an option that would affect all strips in a pane, but I just discovered you can quick group by holding Ctrl while making the change on all selected tracks/buses so that's pretty quick and easy.

But ya, never seems to stay his way for me either. I have all my projects set up this way and they all maintain their respective widths. Make sure your current screenset isn't locked before saving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Second monitor) Is there a secret to remembering the setting of this new console? @Max Arwood There's quite a bit going on in this thread, and it's not clear to me what your specific issue is. Can you provide more detail, please? One or more screenshots/videos might also help (preferably, the whole screen for context, not just a portion of it). I can think of a few things you might be referring to. For example, are you manually resizing the CV so it covers both monitors, but it doesn't re-appear like that on project load? Maybe you're maximizing the CV on your second monitor, but it comes back on the first monitor? Perhaps you're referring to stuff inside the CV (eg. width of track and bus panes, wide/narrow strip settings) that aren't restored in the same way? Something else? In order to reproduce the issue, we might also need your exact monitor configuration (eg. left/primary/4K/175%, right/secondary/1080p/100%). As Noel mentioned above, I'd also like to rule workspaces in/out. Does the problem occur when workspace is set to 'None'? Thanks! Edit: It may also matter which monitor the main Sonar window is on when the problem occurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
