Using Search to Locate Files
Using Search, you can search for media files to add to your project. Search has two
views: Column view and Button view. You choose which view to display by clicking the
Columns View or Button View button in the upper-left area of the window. In both
views, the files matching your search criteria appear in the Search Results area, along
with columns displaying additional information for tagged files. You can sort these
columns by clicking the heading on top of each column. You can also perform text
searches in both views, and refine your searches.
If you use Apple Loops or other tagged audio files in a project, you can search based
on a variety of criteria, including musical instrument, genre, time signature, mood
descriptor, and scale type. You can also search using specific keywords.
Click Search to display the Search tab in the Media and Effects Manager.
Searching for Files in Column View
In Column view, the upper area of the Media and Effects Manager displays two
columns: Keywords shows the categories of files that meet the search criteria, and
Matches shows the total number of matching files and any subcategories containing
matching files, with the number of matching files in each.
Clicking a keyword displays the files matching that keyword in the Search Results area.
You can refine your search results by narrowing the criteria using the subcategories in
the Matches column.
