Tutorial 9: Media management
3. Show the Scope section.
The Scope section allows you to view and play back files selected in the
Viewer section.
4. Show the Tag Editor section (Cubase only).
When a file is selected in the Viewer section, you can view and/or assign
tags to the file to make organizing and searching for the file easier.
Scanning with the browser
When you open the MediaBay, the Loop Browser or the
Sound Browser, a scan for the media files is performed.
Specify which folders or directories should be included in
the scan by activating their check boxes to the left of the
name. The result of the scan is saved in the MediaBay da-
tabase.
Physical and virtual scanning locations
There are 2 different locations that you can scan for media
files on your computer. The File system location and the
VST Sound location.
File System
The File system locations are the physical or actual loca-
tions on your computer. These locations include local and
removable disks such as hard drives, external drives, CD
or DVD-ROM drives, etc.
By default File system is checked, however, it contains
many locations you would not want scanned. Be sure to
check which areas/folders you want MediaBay to manage.
The areas/folders that you pick will automatically be
scanned and the result of that scan can be seen in the
Viewer section.
VST Sound
The VST Sound locations are the virtual locations on your
computer to any factory content or user presets created
for plug-ins, instruments or MIDI-loops. Make sure that
this is not turned off.
Choosing scanning locations
Generally you’ll want to make sure that VST Sound is al-
ways checked since this is the factory content or content
that either came with Cubase or other compatible product
such as Steinberg’s Sequel. This is also the location of
any user presets that were created.
