Removing a Directory From the Search Database
If you move or change your collection of audio files, you can remove a folder from the
Search database. Removing unneeded folders from the database can shorten search
times and eliminate extraneous results.
To remove a folder from the Search database:
1 Click the Setup button at the top of the Search tab.
2 In the Setup dialog, select the directory you want to remove, then click the Remove
Directory button.
3 Click Done to return to the Media and Effects Manager.
Once you have added the folders containing your audio files to the Search database
and indexed them, you can use Search to find the files. In both Column view and
Button view, the audio files that match the search criteria appear in the Search Results
area in alphabetical order. You can preview files in the File list and drag them to the
Timeline. You can also add a folder to your Favorites from the Search tab.
Storing Files in the Bin
The Bin shows all of the clips added to the project. You can add audio files to the Bin
for easy access to files you may want to add to the current project. Audio files appear in
the Bin in alphabetical order.

m Drag the file from the Finder to the Bin.
m Drag the file from the Browser, Favorites, or Search tab to the Bin.
