The MediaBay
Setting up the Results list columns
For each media type, or for combinations of media types,
you can specify the attribute columns that are displayed in
the Results list. In most cases, you will probably only want
to display a few main attributes in the Results list and use
the Attribute Inspector to view the complete list of attribute
values for the files.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the media type (or combination of media types)
that you want to make settings for.
2. Click the “Set up Result Columns” button and activate
or deactivate the options on the submenus.
Activate the attributes that you want to be displayed in the Results list.
Ö If you want to see none of the attributes of a certain
category, choose the “Select None” option on the corre
-
sponding submenu.
Ö When the “Allow Editing in Results List” option is acti-
vated in the Preferences dialog, you can also edit attributes
in the Results list. Otherwise this is only possible in the At-
tribute Inspector.
Performing a text search
You can limit the number of results in the Results list using
the text search function. When you enter text in the Text
Search field, only media files whose attributes match the
entered text will be displayed.
For example, if you are looking for all audio loops relating
to drum sounds, simply enter “drum” in the search field.
The search results will contain loops with names such as
“Drums 01”, “Drumloop”, “Snare Drum”, etc. Also, all me
-
dia files with the Category attribute Drum&Percussion, or
any other attribute that contains “drum” will be found.
When you enter text in the field, its background becomes
red, to indicate that a text filter is active for the list. To re
-
set the text filter, delete the text.

banks (file name extension .patternbank). Pattern

-
ous types. For more information, see the chapter
“Working with track presets” on page 331.
Plug-in Presets When this is activated, the list shows all VST pre-
sets for instrument and effect plug-ins. These pre-
sets contain all parameter settings for a particular
plug-in. They can be used to apply sounds to in

strument tracks and effects to audio tracks. For
more information, see the chapter
“Working with
track presets” on page 331.
