Hi,
can not confirm it.
cubase 9…same problem
And all the while they sat with their fingers in their ears refusing to listen and do anything about it.
Still using 8.5.3 not updating to 9.
By design, they make me sit and wait to use any presets after startup until all the user presets are re-scanned.
Cubase 6, last version without this issue. Very poor, and it goes on and on and on. ( not only this)
I’m not sure I know what you are talking about when you say “music organizer” and “music envelope.”
Do you mean by default the C>Users folder, the folder that automatically gets scanned upon Cubase opening every time?
I would love to move certain folders out of the “monitored” or C>users folder, but how am I going to be able to save any VST or VSTI presets? By default when you save any preset it’s going to save that in the C>users folder the folder that gets automatically scanned every time when opening Cubase.
And secondly, while you read my personal issue about Media Bay automatically checking folders that the user wants left unchecked, the larger issue here is that the scan should be controlled by the user. The scan takes too much time for some users. For myself, when I open Cubase I open it using the Steinberg Hub to select my templates. But I have to wait a while because Media Bay is doing a scan and won’t show all template options until the scan is complete.
Yes. And the point is: in all versions before 8.5 it didn’t happen.
Anyone help me with pointers to how to get rid of the Mediabay scanning icon and show files that are in the selected folder please?
Click on a simple folder with maybe only 5 wav files, audio is selected and the scanning countdown seems to be showing several hundred and just the logo showing.
Very frustrating and making mediabay totally redundant.
im sure there’s a simpe fix or setting Im missing, any help please?
Thanks
Has there been any resolution to this issue, it’s started happening to me on 9.5 too?
I am in the same boat as you jonwright:
Mediabay always keeps scanning VST3 presets, in my user folder.
The very weird thing is that all the VST3 presets once were scanned fully complete, cause all the VST3 preset folders from all my plugins were colored WHITE then in Mediabay, meaning those folders were ready scanned 100%.
But next time i open Cubase and i open Mediabay (be it as seperate window or in Right Zone), i can’t select any media cause the scan process kicks in again and takes forever (err, well let’s say about 5 minutes), to have scanned all the VST3 plugin presets folders again.
I disabled the VST3 presets folder many times in Mediabay, but next time i start Cubase, it’s again selected and so it isnt anymore excluded from scan.
So i just can’t use Mediabay at this point, so frustrating…unworkable …
