MediaBay and Media Rack
You can manage media files on your computer as well as presets from multiple sources from within the MediaBay or the Media rack.
Working with Volume Databases
Cubase saves all media file information used in the MediaBay, such as paths and attributes, in a local database file on your computer. However, in some cases, it is necessary to browse and manage this kind of metadata on an external volume.
Removing Volume Databases
If you have worked on another computer using an external hard disk and return to your own computer and connect the external device as part of your system setup, you no longer need a separate volume database. Any data on this drive can be included in the local database file again, removing the extra database file.
