MediaBay
Maximum Items in Results List
This allows you to specify the maximum number of files that are displayed in the
Results list. This helps you to avoid unmanageably long lists of files in the Results
list.
Allow Editing in Results List
Activate this to edit attributes also in the Results list. Otherwise, editing can only be
done in the Attribute Inspector.
Show File Extensions in Results List
Activate this to display file name extensions in the Results list.
Scan Folders only when MediaBay is open
Activate this to scan Cubase for media files when the MediaBay window is open.
Otherwise, the folders are scanned in the background even when the MediaBay
window is closed.
NOTE
During playback or recording no folder scans are performed.
Scan unknown File Types
Activate this to open and scan any file in the search location and ignore files that
cannot be recognized.
Metering
Map Input Bus Metering to Audio Track (in Direct Monitoring)
This allows you to map the input bus metering to monitor-enabled audio tracks,
giving you the opportunity to watch the input levels of your audio tracks when
working in the Project window. For this to work, activate Direct Monitoring in the
Studio Setup dialog.
● If this option is activated, audio tracks show the metering signal from the
input bus to which they are routed as soon as the track is monitor-enabled.
Note that the tracks are mirroring the input bus signal, that is, you will see the
same signal in both places. When using mapped metering, any functions, such
as trimming, that you apply to the audio track are not reflected in its meters.
● If this option is not activated, metering works as usual.
Meters’ Peak Hold Time
This allows you to specify for how long the peak levels are held in the meters. For this
to work, deactivate Meters - Hold Forever in the MixConsole.
Meters’ Fallback
This allows you to specify how quickly the meters in the MixConsole return to lower
values after signal peaks.
