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.

Allow Editing in Results List

If this option is activated, you can edit attributes in the Results list. If this option is deactivated, attributes can only be edited in the Attribute Inspector.

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.
