Creating a Volume Database
PROCEDURE
In the File Browser section, right-click the external storage medium, drive, or partition of
your computer system for which you want to create a database, and select Create Volume
Database.
IMPORTANT
You must select the topmost directory level 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 some time.
Volume databases are automatically mounted when Cubase is launched. They are shown in the
File Browser section and their data can be viewed and edited in the Results list.
Removing a Volume Database
If you have worked on another computer using an external hard disk and return to your own
computer and connect the external device again as part of your system setup, you no longer
need a separate volume database for it. Any data on this drive can be included in the local
database file again, by removing the extra database file.
PROCEDURE
In the File Browser section, right-click the volume database and select Remove Volume
Database.
