RESULT
The metadata is integrated in the local MediaBay database file, and the volume database file 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 mount a volume database manually, 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 in the lower left
corner of the MediaBay.
Hide Folders That Are Not Scanned
If this option is activated, all folders that are not scanned for files are hidden. This
keeps the tree view in the File Browser less cluttered.
Show Only Selected Folder
If this option is activated, only the selected folder and its subfolders are shown.
Scan Folders Only When MediaBay Is Open
If this option is activated, Cubase only scans for media files 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
Specifies the maximum number of files that are displayed in the Results list. This
avoids unmanageably long lists of files.
NOTE
The MediaBay does not warn you if the maximum number of files has been
reached. There might be situations where a certain file cannot be found because the
maximum number of files was reached.
Show File Extensions in Results List
If this option is activated, file name extensions are displayed in the Results list.
Scan Unknown File Types
When scanning for media files, the MediaBay ignores files with an unknown file
extension. If this option is activated, the MediaBay tries to open and scan any file in
the search location and ignores those files that cannot be recognized.
