Just like we have a camera icon on the top bar of every app window, that takes a visual “snap shot” of an app, whuy not an “AudioSnip”?
Issues it resolves:
1] Media Bay is way complicated and it does not deal with many major apps like the Kontakt Universe, The Spectrasonics Universe, the Opus universe and many more. You can’t find an Omnisphere preset in Media Bay.
2] The five star system of ranking is not well thought out. Because everything gets three stars as default, this effectively renders it useless to the user. It leaves the user straddled with one and two stars, then four and five - very ugly. Stars also do not communicate much. They really just say you liked/disliked it sometime or the other. This is almost meaningless.
3] There is no notepad feature in Media Bay and Media Bay looks so cluttered it scares people.
This solution is SIMPLE and VERY intuitive. It does not require much coding. It can be very powerful.
At the top of VST windows we already have a visual camera to take pics of the app. This is useful, why not AudioClips too?
So, your in some kind of microenvironment with an obscure synth preset, that has non-compatible file extensitons with Media Bay searches. You like the sound, you think it mightwork in a project with John you are doing next week for a fishing commercial, but your working onm something else at the moment. . You don’t need it now, but equally you don’t want to forget it. Can you find your way back?
How many times are these moments lost? I say constantly.
So, next to the camera is an AudioSnip icon. You press it and up pops a window in Cubase, which does the following:
1] Automatically creates a simple, short “snip” an Audio recording of a scalic run and a chord performed with this preset in this synth.
2] Offers you the ability to play a few notes of your own and get them record as Audio.
3] Offers a Note Taking function which Includes a (Media Bay Categorisable) Title. “Mum’s Birthday”, “Possible strings for scene 14b”, “my parrots last squark”, 
or anything the user want to say abotu the clip.
4] There is a title feature and this is what is used to categorise the AudioSnip.
5] ANY sound that can be played on a VST can be saved this way.
6] Where possible, the NotePad feature would also display and store which app and which preset was used, create a track preset of the same name, store a date of creation and other standard info.
As the user grows the list of AudioSnips, they can view them and perform housekeeping tasks like editing and deleting. They can be stored as AudioClip Items in Cubase’s Media Bay, but also when a VST opens, if there is at least one Active AudioClip, available, then the user can access these, read their own information hear a snip and load if desired.
Such a system can easily be universal as any sound that Cubase can support can be recorded this way. The system is also very easy to use. and should be reasonably easy to program.
Above all, it will make keeping records of what sounds you have found, what you might like, what is suitable for Rodney and his dog, or The Lion King Act 32b mice entrance, easy to mark and retrieve with HUMAN thought attached.
