Removing Volume Databases
If you have worked on another computer using an external hard disk and return to your own
computer and connect the external device as part of your system setup, you no longer need a
separate volume database. Any data on this drive can be included in the local database le again,
removing the extra database
le.
PROCEDURE
In the File Browser section, right-click the volume database, and select Remove Volume
Database.
RESULT
The metadata is integrated in the local MediaBay database le, and the volume database le is
deleted.
NOTE
If the drive contains a large amount of data, this process may take some time.
Mounting and Unmounting Volume Databases
Volume databases that are made available while Cubase is running must be mounted manually.
To manually mount a volume database, right-click the external storage medium, drive, or
partition of your computer system that you want to mount, and select Mount Volume
Database.
To unmount a volume database, right-click it, and select Unmount Volume Database.
MediaBay Settings
To open a pane with settings for the MediaBay, click MediaBay Settings.
The following options are available:
Hide Folders That Are Not Scanned
Hides all folders that are not scanned for les. This keeps the tree view in the File
Browser less cluttered.
Show Only Selected Folder
Shows only the selected folder and its subfolders.
Scan Folders Only When MediaBay Is Open
Scans folders for media les when the MediaBay window is open.
If this option is deactivated, the folders are scanned in the background, even when the
MediaBay window is closed. However, Cubase never scans folders while playing back
or recording.
Maximum Items in Results List
Allows you to specify the maximum number of les to be displayed in the Results list.
This avoids unmanageably long lists of
les.
