Searching for Audio Files
The search functions help you locate audio les in the Pool, on your hard disk, or on other media.
This works much like the regular
le search, but with extra features.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Pool window, click Search on the toolbar.
A search pane appears at the bottom of the window, displaying the search functions.
2. Specify the les that you search for in the Name eld.
You can use partial names or wildcards (*).
NOTE
Only audio les of the supported formats will be found.
3. Use the Location pop-up menu to specify where to search.
The pop-up menu lists all your local drives and removable media.
● To limit the search to certain folders, select Select Search Path, and in the dialog that
opens, select the folder in which you want to search.
The search includes the selected folder and all subfolders.
NOTE
Folders that you have recently selected using the Select Search Path function appear on the
pop-up menu, so that you can quickly select them again.
4. Click Search.
The search is started and Search is labeled Stop.
● To cancel the search, click Stop.
When the search is nished, the les that are found are listed on the right.
● To audition a le, select it in the list and use the playback controls to the left (Play, Stop,
Pause, and Loop). If
Auto Play is activated, selected les are automatically played back.
● To import a le into the Pool, double-click the le in the list or select it and click Import.
5. To close the search pane, click Search on the toolbar again.
Using the Extended Search Functionality
Apart from the search criterion Name, additional search lters are available. The extended
search options allow for a detailed search, helping you to master even the largest sound
database.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Pool window, click Search on the toolbar.
The search pane is displayed in the lower part of the Pool window.
2. Click Name to open the extended search pop-up menu where you can select and dene a
search criterion.
