Parentheses
Parentheses are used to collect the queries together into sets, this allows you to get
very specific searches in large collections of sounds. Searches like:
(by and car) not (wet or away) will quickly narrow your search making auditioning a
much easier task.
Case Insensitive
Keywords and control words are not case sensitive AND is the same as and, And, aNd
as well as anD. Also file keywords are not sensitive. All keywords are stored as upper-
case so if you have made one instrument named “C:\horns.gig” and another “C:\Brass\
Horns.gig” typing in the word “horns” will return both.
Keyword Tips
GigaStudio .GIG files as well as many .WAV files have information contained in the
file format. QuickSound opens those files and stores much of that information as key-
words for finding the files in the database. Some information is filtered to increase the
speed and usefulness of your searches.
Here is a list of characters that do not go into the database:
, (comma)
(space)
/ (forward slash)
\ (backslash)
(tab)
_ (underscore)
~ (tilde)
@ (at sign)
: (colon)
; (semi-colon)
’ (single quote)
” (double quote)
! (exclamation point)
- (minus sign)
+ (plus sign)
These characters are actually used as delimiters, in that any thing between them,
and not on the list of illegal words, is put in the database.
