Hi there!
I have been using Cubase for a while but never really thought MediaBay was of any value for me until just recently. This annoys the hell out of me cause I could have saved so much time using it instead of trying to organize things in my own stupid ways.
Cause now that I have read properly about it, from what I can tell it is amazing for organizing audio files and building a library of my favorite presets from different VST-plugins. So I guess I will have to redo the whole thing
So now I have some questions to avoid wasting more time and do as much as possible right from the start.
Is it possible to customize the categories and name them oneself so that they apply in the filter system? So that I can choose myself what the categories, sub categories and other tags should be. I’d like to use my own established vocabulary and categories of organizing .
Or will I have to use the file browser on the left and simply create my own folder system that I can setup and name the way I want to and navigate around there? Cause that is possible right?
What are the main differences between plugin presets and track presets besides the obvious possibility to save settings of the track, for example inserts, on the track presets. Is there any downside to using track presets in comparison to plugin presets? If not why would one want to use plugin presets?
Is there a way of randomly selecting one or more track presets (or one or more audio file) etc through filtering or something inside the MediaBay? Or maybe somewhere / someway else in Cubase? Or even outside of Cubase in an another app / vst / OSX or whatever.
Thanks a lot for taking the time! Looking forward to your answers and to getting started!
Kindly,
Eric

You can create your own categories tag but you cannot modify the standard category tag entries or add new ones. I tend to use their categories tag and I created an additional custom sub category which I use to distinguish instruments under guitar/plucked for example. In my tag you can specify if it’s a ukulele or a sitar (these tags are not present in the standard sub categories of the media bay)

In Media Bay, on the right panel, click on the gear then on the + to create your own category and your own tags... then scroll to the bottom it will be in "various" category...
If you want to change tires on your car you don't buy a new car. Same thing for presets... if you just want to load a new plugin or change an existing one (fx or instrument) on your track you don't load a track presets which will change the whole track ....you only change the plugin with plugin presets...

Ok I see! How does one create additional custom sub categories?
Jolaff - the thing is just that the important thing for me is to have a library where presets from all my vsts are collected. And to build my own folder system for them.
If I use plugin presets then the presets are spread out in different folders on the hd while track presets are all in one place? Is there any downside using track presets compared to plugin presents?
