Chapter 16: DigiBase 287
Project Browser
The Project browser provides powerful search and
management tools for the files referenced in your
current session, regardless of where they are
stored. Using the Project browser, you can:
• Show all the media files associated with the cur-
rent session, including any missing files.
• View, manage, audition, and spot individual
items.
Catalogs
Catalogs provide the highest level of Pro Tools file
management. Catalogs make it easy to organize
files from multiple sources into libraries of favorite
files. Catalogs can be sorted and searched, even
when the files they reference are offline. Catalogs
can also be shared.
Using Catalogs, you can:
• Collect and organize files from any combination
of volumes.
• Create catalogs of complete volumes to view
and search even if a volume is offline.
• View, manage, audition, and import individual
items in the catalog.
• Update a database for contents of catalog.
Task Window
The Task window is a utility for viewing and man-
aging all of the background tasks that you initiate
with Pro Tools. Use the Task window to monitor,
pause, or cancel background tasks such as file cop-
ies, searches, and indexing.
Relink Window
The Relink window provides tools and features for
relinking sessions and catalogs to media files. Use
Relink tools to search and reacquire missing files
for use in the current session.
Performance and Transfer
Volumes
DigiBase lets you view, manage, and import ses-
sions and media from both Performance and Trans-
fer volumes.
Performance Volumes Are storage volumes (hard
drives) that are suitable for playback and have been
designated in the Workspace browser as Record
and Playback (R) or Playback Only (P) of media
files in a Pro Tools session.
