• If you select Search, a dialog opens to let you specify which folder or disk will
be scanned by the program. Click the Search Folder button, select a directory
or a disk, and click the Start button. If found, select the file from the list and
click Accept. Afterwards Cubase tries to map all other missing files
automatically.
• If you select Locate, a file dialog opens, allowing you to locate the file manually.
Select the file and click Open.
•If you select Folder, a dialog opens to let you specify the directory in which the
missing file can be found. This might be the preferred method if you have
renamed or moved the folder containing the missing file, but the file still has the
same name. Once you select the correct folder, the program finds the file and
you can close the dialog.
Reconstructing Missing Edit Files
If a missing file cannot be found, this is normally indicated with a question mark in
the Status column in the Pool. However, if the missing file is an edit file (a file that
is created when you process audio and stored in the Edits folder within the project
folder), it may be possible for the program to reconstruct it by recreating the editing
to the original audio file.
PROCEDURE
1. In the Pool window, locate the clips for which files are missing.
2. Check the Status column. If the status of the files is “Reconstructible”, the
files can be reconstructed by Cubase.
3. Select the reconstructable clips and select Media > Reconstruct.
RESULT
The editing is performed and the edit files are recreated.
Removing Missing Files from the Pool
If the Pool contains audio files that cannot be found or reconstructed, you may want
to remove these.
PROCEDURE
• In the Pool window, select Media > Remove Missing Files.
RESULT
All missing files from the Pool and the corresponding events from the Project
window are removed.
