Tutorial 9: Media management
Background
The MediaBay is an area in Cubase that helps to find,
identify, tag and organize your sounds (VST 3 Presets and
track presets), audio/MIDI loops, video and project files.
You’ll hear and read about two different terms associated
with the MediaBay: VST Sound and MediaBay.
VST Sound is the overall concept of managing the ever-
growing number of plug-ins, instruments, presets, etc. The
tool that links all of the plug-ins, instruments and presets
together is the MediaBay.
Why is the MediaBay important to me?
The MediaBay:
• Provides different views allowing you to find and tag media
files, quickly import media files into projects. Media files in-
clude: audio files, MIDI files, MIDI loops and video.
• Allows you to find sounds easily so that you can begin working
on your music quickly without endlessly searching for the
‘right’ instrument.
• Allows you to find and apply audio, MIDI and instrument pre-
sets quickly to your tracks.
• Shows you all of the Cubase project files that are on your
computer to quickly load them.
• MediaBay frees you from thinking in a folder structure or by in-
strument. Just think about the sound you are looking for and
find it across your entire library.
MediaBay, Loop Browser and Sound
Browser
There are three menu options on the Media menu that al-
low you to call up the various MediaBay views.
It really doesn’t matter which one you pick as they all pro-
vide the same functionality. The reason you would pick
one from the other is that they have various buttons and
features turned on or off so that you can easily find what
you are looking for.
For example, if you are looking for loops you would select
the Loop Browser as this has been pre-configured for
searching specifically for loops. Or if you were looking for
Track Presets or VST Plug-in Presets, the Sound Browser
would suit you best.
To open the MediaBay
We are going to use the MediaBay view as this view has
been pre-configured to allow all of the controls by default
to be visible. Everything we learn in the MediaBay can be
applied to the Loop or Sound Browser.
