Working With Volume Databases
357
Volume databases can be created for drives of your computer or for external
storage media. They contain the same kind of information about the media files on
these drives as the regular MediaBay database.
NOTE
When you launch Cubase, all available volume databases are automatically
mounted. Databases that are made available while the program is running have to
be mounted manually.
Rescanning and Refreshing Volume Databases
If you have modified the scan settings on a different system, you must rescan or
refresh the MediaBay.

Creating a Volume Database
PROCEDURE
In the Define Locations section, right-click the external storage medium,
drive, or partition of your computer system that you want to create a database
for, and select Create Volume Database.
IMPORTANT
You must select the topmost level (root) for this. You cannot create a database file for
a lower-level folder.
RESULT
The file information for this drive is written into a new database file. When the new
database file is available, this is reflected by the symbol to the left of the drive name.
NOTE
If the drive contains a large amount of data, this process may take a while.
