Anyone know if it’s possible?
Basically everytime one drags a file in from media bay into the session, you have to hit F5 twice to stop media bay from continuing to preview the file you’ve just imported. Would be preferable for media bay to stop previewing on import.
Been doing it for years and never found a toggle for this, just got round to asking!
It’s a valid observation. I find this a bit tiresome too.
Turn off the option to auto-play with the project in Media Bay, only way around it. Otherwise, every time you hit play, if Media Bay is open, it’s going to start playing whatever file is selected in the browser.
If general behaviour is, media bay in focus, audio plays with project, mediabay out of focus, audio is not auto played, then when importing a file which takes mediabay out of focus it should no longer autoplay. Maybe this actually constitutes a bug?
When the side panel Mediabay browser is open it ALWAYS seems to have focus. It was pissing me off last night because while it was open and I was figuring out some samples to use, it wasn’t letting me use the transport commands or jump to markers with the num pad because the MediaBay browser window takes control of the keyboard (you get the good old ‘on screen keyboard’ message).
