Working With the MediaBay
When working with many music files, the most important thing is to find the content
that you need quickly and easily.
The MediaBay helps you to find and organize your content. After scanning your
folders, all media files of the supported formats that have been found are listed in
the Results section.
The first thing to do is to set up Locations, that is folders or directories on your
system that contain media files. Usually, files are organized in a specific way on your
computer. You might have folders reserved for audio content, folders for special
effects, folders for combinations of sounds making up the ambience noise that you
need for a certain film take, etc. These can all be set as different Locations in the
MediaBay, allowing you to limit the files available in the Results list according to
context.
Whenever you expand your computer system, you should save the new volumes as
Locations or add them to your existing Locations.
By using the search and filter options, you can narrow down the results.
You can insert the files into your project by using drag & drop, by double-clicking,
or by using the context menu options.
Setting Up the MediaBay
You can show and hide the different sections of the MediaBay. This saves screen
space and enables you to display only the information that you need.
PROCEDURE
1. Click the Set up Window Layout button in the lower left corner of the
MediaBay.
A transparent pane appears, containing checkboxes for the different sections.
