is there any point trying to clean up (some how) the “mediabay3.db” file ? mine is 777mb so far , I have been using C12 / C13 for a couple of year . not should if starting again will speed things up or help anything ?
love some seasoned user feed ?
thx All
Okay, so I did a load of testing and I can reply to my own post here and hopefully this will help someone else complete game changer in terms of responsiveness from media Bay!!!
1st I deleted this file from the Cubase Prefs folder (777mb)
Next I delete this Folder
Then I re-opened C13 and let it do its thing , I then ended up with a new “Steinberg MediaBay Server” folder with a 84mb.db file in it ,
the result is a snappier mediabay , also all my presets load much fast for all plug-ins
Can anyone help on this ? I just tried this again and again my mediabay3.db which was 256mb this time, is now only 25mb and much faster .
How can it all come back if you trash the mediabay3.db ? is there another location for it on a Mac
It did the job to get much faster Mediabay :
The 
“creating volume database folders” on hard drive in Mediabay.
ok great , yes that does work , but I think its more for user that move computers and need the db. to follow with the drive.
can anyone help with my question of were the db. is stored ? like the Fav folder and all the attributes etc. I just can’t find it .
if I trash the “Steinberg MediaBay Server” folder on my pref s fodlder and re boot , Cubase just make a new one … but how ?
