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.
Volume databases are automatically mounted when Cubase is launched. They are shown in
the Define Locations 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 do not
need a separate volume database for it any more. Any data on this drive can then be included
in the local database file again, by removing the extra database file.
PROCEDURE
In the Define Locations section, right-click the volume database and select Remove
Volume Database.
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 a while.
