The MediaBay
Window overview
The info line
The info line is located at the bottom of the window.
The info line shows the number of files displayed in the
Viewer section and the path to the folder selected in the
Browser section in which these files were found.
MediaBay sections
You can use the three buttons below the Browser section
to show/hide the respective sections in the MediaBay
window. The Viewer section cannot be hidden.
Click this button to hide the Browser section.
• You can change the size of the individual sections by
dragging the divider line between two sections.
• When saving a Cubase project, the current status of the
MediaBay is also saved.
This means that if the MediaBay was open when you saved a project, it
will be opened again the next time you open this particular project. The
last MediaBay window configuration will also be restored.
Browsing for media files
To the left in the default MediaBay window you will find
the Browser section.
