Commands: Media

Command	Default Key	Function	My Rating	Link
Add Favorite		With MediaBay open and a folder selected, give this command to save the folder to Favorites.	6	Adding Favorites
Browse: Back		The Back button of the MediaBay browser	6	MediaBay Toolbar
Browse: Forward		The Forward button of the MediaBay browser	6	MediaBay Toolbar
Browse: Up		The Up button of the MediaBay browser	6	MediaBay Toolbar
Convert Files		When a file is selected in the Pool, you can use this command to convert the files to a new sample rate.	3	Converting Files
Create Folder		In Pool, creates a new folder. Note: You can only add a folder beneath Audio, or Video. You cannot add a root folder on the same level with those two. Opinion: The name of the command should be “Pool: Create New Subfolder” for more clarity.	3	Organizing Clips and Folders
Create New Folder		In MediaBay, creates a new folder under the selected path. Opinion: The name of the command should be “MediaBay: Create New Folder” for more clarity.	5
Create Sampler Track		Creates a Sampler Track from the selected file. Works in Pool and MediaBay browser. Note: Not to be confused with Commands>Audio>Create Sample Track	3	Creating Sampler Tracks
Empty Trash		Empties the trash folder in Pool. Works from the Project window too.	3	Deleting Files from the Hard Disk
Find Missing Files		Brings up the Resolve Missing Files window, in order to choose the path where the missing files are located.	0	Locating Missing Files
Generate Thumbnail Cache		From the manual: “You can manually generate thumbnail cache files. This is necessary if a thumbnail cache file could not be generated during import because the folder is write-protected, or because you have edited the file with an external video editing application.” Comment: Personally, when I hear “Thumbnail”, my mind goes to Videos and Photos. This command remains available always, so I’m guessing it’s a global command affecting just the video track (if present).	3	Manually Generating Thumbnail Cache Files
Hide Folders That Are Not Scanned		In MediaBay, hides all the folders that have not been scanned.	3	MediaBay Settings
Import Audio from Video		Crashes my Cubase, so I don’t know what it does. Note: Reported to Steinberg by Martin Jirsak
Import from Audio CD		Opens Pool window in the background, and the Import Audio CD window in the foreground. Note: Same as File → Import from Audio CD?	3	Import From Audio CD Dialog
Import Medium		Opens Pool window in the background, and the Import Medium window in the foreground, in order to choose a file for import (audio or video). (Presses the Import button in the Pool)	3	Importing Media
Insert into Project at Cursor		Inserts the file selected in the Pool at the Cursor’s position. Creates a new track if no track is selected. Note: While the key for the key command is shown next to the command in Media>Insert into Project, if you go to Pool>Right click on file>Insert into Project, the command’s shortcut key is not shown. In any case, the Pool must be open for the command to work.	5	Inserting Clips into a Project via Menu Commands
Insert into Project at Left Locator		Inserts the file selected in the Pool at the Left Locator. Creates a new track if no track is selected. Note: While the key for the key command is shown next to the command in Media>Insert into Project, if you go to Pool>Right click on file>Insert into Project, the command’s shortcut key is not shown. In any case, the Pool must be open for the command to work.	5	Inserting Clips into a Project via Menu Commands
Insert into Project at Origin		Inserts the file selected in the Pool at its Origin. Creates a new track if no track is selected. Note: While the key for the key command is shown next to the command in Media>Insert into Project, if you go to Pool>Right click on file>Insert into Project, the command’s shortcut key is not shown. In any case, the Pool must be open for the command to work.	5	Inserting Clips into a Project via Menu Commands
Loop Browser		Launches the Loop Browser	5
New Version		Creates a new version of the file selected in the Pool just underneath. Note: While the key for the key command is shown next to the command in Media, if you go to Pool>Right click on file, the command’s shortcut key is not shown. In any case, the Pool must be open for the command to work.	5	Duplicating Clips in the Pool
Open MediaBay	F5	Opens MediaBay	10	MediaBay Window
Open/Close Attribute Inspector	Ctrl Alt Num 6	Opens/Closes the Attribute Inspector in the MediaBay Note: This command is a show/hide right zone for the MediaBay, Loop Browser, and Sound Browser windows. Why have an extra command then? Because, if you activate Always on Top, this keycommand will work regardless of which window has focus (Project, Mixconsole). However, if we have all three windows open and always on top (MediaBay, Loop Browser, Sound Browser), the window that gets the command is MediaBay. If we close MediaBay, the next window to get the commands is Loop Browser. Opinion: It seems that this is a 5 segment layout - with Top, Left, Center, Right, Bottom Zones. I like it, and would like it implemented for all windows. Separating the key commands though, like in this instance, I’m not so sure.	10	Attribute Inspector
Open/Close Favorites	Ctrl Alt Num 8	Opens/Closes Favorites in the MediaBay (Doesn’t work for me. Not ready yet?) Notes: See above.	10
Open/Close File Browser	Ctrl Alt Num 4	Opens/Closes File Browser in the MediaBay Notes: See above.	10	File Browser Section

Open/Close Previewer	Ctrl Alt Num 2	Opens/Closes the Previewer in the MediaBay Notes: See above.	10	Previewer Section
Prepare Archive		Gathers all referenced files to the project’s directory, with an option to flatten edits. Video files (if any) must be copied manually. Files in the project’s directory must then be moved inside the Audio folder.	4	Self-Contained Projects
Preview Active On/Off		? I don’t know what this does. Maybe it was there as an option before “Open/Close Previewer”?	?
Preview AutoPlay On/Off		Toggles AutoPlay mode of the Previewer On and Off. Good for a quick listen. Note: If the Right Zone of the project window has focus, and only then, the command will go there, no matter if you have A MediaBay window open and always on top. If the focus is on the project’s Left Zone, Lower Zone, or the project window itself, the command will go to the MediaBay window.	6	Audio Files Previewer
Preview Cycle On/Off	Shift Num /	Toggles the Preview Cycle On and Off. Notes: See above.	6	Audio Files Previewer
Preview in Context On/Off		The Preview is played at the Tempo of the Project. The button tooltip says “Align Beats to Project” Notes: See above.	6	Audio Files Previewer

Remove Missing Files		In Pool, if the project complains about missing files, you can choose to remove them outright, so that events in the project window that point to those missing files are also removed.	3	Removing Missing Files from the Pool
Remove Unused Media		In Pool, if there exist files that are not used in the project, this command will remove them. You can see which files are unused in the Pool with the help of the “Used” column. If no number exists in this column, the file is unused.	3	Removing Unused Clips from the Pool
Rescan Disk		Use this command to rescan the disk or folders for (new?) files. Comment: I’m not very confident that I really understand the differences between this command and “Refresh Views”.	6
Reset All Filters		In Mediabay, Loop Browser, and Sound Browser, resets all filters. (Those in the Top “Filter” Zone, and the Results Filter in the toolbar.)	6
Reset Result Filters		In MediaBay, Loop Browser, and Sound Browser, resets only the Result Filters (those in the toolbar)	6	MediaBay Toolbar

Show in Explorer		Shows where the selected file is stored on the computer. Works in the Pool, and in MediaBay / LoopBrowser / Soundbrowser “Results” Zone.	3	Finding the Location of a File
Show Only Selected Folder		Toggles MediaBay Setting “Show Only Selected Folder”.	3	MediaBay Settings
Shuffle Results		In MediaBay, Loop Browser, and Soundbrowser, shuffles (randomly reorders) the results.	3	Shuffling the Results List
Sound Browser		Launches the Sound Browser	3
Stop Updating Results		You can give this command while the MediaBay is populating the list of results to make it pause.	3	MediaBay Toolbar
Write Attributes to File		Not sure. This command exists in the Pool’s right click menu, but the key command key is not shown next to it. On the other hand it shows next to the corresponding entry in the Media menu. In MediaBay, changing of attributes is done automatically I believe.	?

[ggmanestraki]

Commands: MediaInspector

This command category does not exist at first! Right clicking in the MediaBay Attribute Inspector will make it available in Key Commands. I wonder if this applies to other functions too. How many key commands have I missed?!

Delete Overlaps (mono)		This command will delete overlaps of events of the same pitch (overlapping unisons) Opinion: I don’t know if “mono” is a good description.	6	Deleting Overlaps
Delete Overlaps (poly)		This command will delete any overlaps of events of any pitch. (including unisons) Opinion: Unless I’m missing something, this command does exactly as “Delete Overlaps (mono)”, and more. Why does “Delete Overlaps (mono)” even exist?	6	Deleting Overlaps

Pedals to Note Length		Not sure. Per manual, this command is supposed to elongate the note up to the point where the recorded sustain pedal is released, and then deletes the sustain controller. In practice, it doesn’t always work as expected, or it’s me that doesn’t understand all parameters.	0	Rendering Sustain Pedal Data to Note Lengths
“New in 11!” Pitch Visibility: On/Off		When On, only used pitches are shown.	5	Pitch Visibility Options

Part One

Command	Default Key	Function	My Rating	Link
Audio - Background Color Modulation		Activates/Deactivates background color modulation for events/parts in the project window. Note: It seems that background color modulation doesn’t work with transparent events. It will make the event color solid and modulate it from there.	3	Event Display - Audio
Audio - Create Audio Images during Record		Activates/Deactivates. When active, the audio images (waveforms in the events) are created as record runs. When inactive, during record the event remains blank, and when recording stops, it’s then that the images are constructed.	3	Record - Audio
Audio - Default Warping Algorithm		Chooses the next available warping algorithm as the default. Note: This key command is a one way street. Once I reach the end, i.e. Standard - Solo, I don’t have a way to go back.	0	Editing - Audio
Audio - Enable Automatic Hitpoint Detection		Activates/Deactivates automatic Hitpoint detection. Note: This command does not create Hitpoints itself, neither is it retroactive. This means, if you have Automatic Detection enabled and record an event, you will get Hitpoints. Now, if you give the command, the hitpoints will not dissapear for this event. It’s just they will not be auto-created for the next event that you record. (And of course when you record said next event, and give the command afterwards, the event will not have hitpoints automatically calculated for it.)	5	Editing - Audio
Audio - Interpolate Audio Waveforms		Activates/Deactivates interpolation of audio waveforms. Note: This command interpolates sample values to form curves when you zoom in to one sample per pixel or less. Keep this in mind if it looks like this is command is doing nothing.	5	Event Display - Audio

Audio - Show Waveforms		Activates/Deactivates visibility of waveforms for audio events. When activated, you see waveforms in events. When deactivated, events remain blank.	5	Event Display - Audio
Audio - Snap to Zero Crossing		Activates/Deactivates Snap to Zero Crossing. Opinion: This command should be in Project or Edit.	8	Snap to Zero Crossing
Audio - Time Stretch Tool Algorithm		Chooses the next available time stretch algorithm for the time stretch tool. Note: This key command is a one way street. Once I reach the end, i.e. Realtime, I don’t have a way to go back.	0	Editing - Audio
Audio - Treat Muted Audio Events like Deleted		Activates/Deactivates. When activated: If you have 2 events overlapping, and the event on top is muted, the overlapped section of the event in the back will playback normally. When deactivated: If you have 2 events overlapping, and the event on top is muted, the overlapped section of the event in the back will not play back. Only the section of the event NOT covered by the muted event in the foreground will play.	3	Editing - Audio
Audio - Use Mouse Wheel for Event Volume and Fades		Activates/Deactivates the use of the mouse wheel for modifying the event’s volume and fades. When enabled, event gain is modified in 1dB steps. Fades are adjusted in steps dictated by quantize, and grid type setting.	3	Editing - Audio
Audio - When Recording Wave Files Larger than 4 GB		Switches between “Split Files” and “Use RF64 Format” options for what to do when recording files larger than 4 GB.	3	Record - Audio

Control Room - Dim Cue during Talkback		Activates/Deactivates dimming cues during talkback. Tip: Don’t forget to set Talk Dim Level!	7	VST - Control Room
Control Room - Exclusive Device Ports for Monitor Channels		Activates/Deactivates the option for exclusive device ports for monitor channels. When activated, you cannot assign the same device output to two monitor channels. Each monitor channel will have to use a unique output. Opinion: I can’t see the point of this key command. I mean, you have to re-assign the connections when you toggle this command, don’t you?	0	VST - Control Room
Control Room - Show Control Room Volume in Transport Panel		Activates/Deactivates controlling the big red knob of the “Main” section of the Control Room from the transport bar. When activated it’s the red knob being controlled, when deactivated it’s the stereo out. Tip: You may need to click and drag on the Audio Activity & Levels section of the Transport Bar for the control “triangle” to show. Note: Meters don’t follow the option change. They always measure the Stereo Out.	0	VST - Control Room
Control Room - Use Phones Channel as Preview Channel		Activates/Deactivates using Phones as the preview channel.	10	VST - Control Room
Controls - Knob Mode		Cycles between “Circular”, “Relative Circular”, and “Linear” modes for all knobs.	3	Editing - Controls

Editing - ‘Edit Solo’/‘Record in MIDI Editors’ Follow Focus		Activates/Deactivates. When deactivated, pressing ‘Record in Editor’ will keep doing its job, regardless of focus. When activated, pressing ‘Record in Editor’ and then changing focus (by clicking in the project window for instance) will de-activate ‘record in editor’.	7	Editing
Editing - Auto Select Events under Cursor.		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, positioning the cursor will automatically select all events under it. Notes: This is a duplicate entry. Also exists in Edit>Auto Select Events under Cursor. This command is a preference switch, issuing it will not select any events by itself.	4	Editing
Editing - Cycle Follows Range Selection		Activates/Deactivates. When activated: If you make a range selection, the left and right locators will follow, and take positions on the left and on the right of the range, respectively. When deactivated: Range selections don’t affect the locators. Comment: An easy way to not care about whether a command would work with a range or a loop (cycle)?	8	Editing
Editing - Default Track Time Type		Cycles between “Musical”, “Time Linear”, and “Follow Transport Main Display”. When you then create a new track, it will use the relevant Time Base.	5	Editing
Editing - Delete Overlaps		Activates/Deactivates. When activated: Moving an audio event/midi part so that it overlaps another one will delete the overlapped area. Note: Overlapping that occurs due to recording does not delete overlaps immediately. You must move the overlapping event a little bit, and only then do the overlapped areas get deleted.	7	Editing
Editing - Display Warning before Deleting Non-Empty Tracks		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, trying to delete any track that is not empty will display a warning, and require confirmation. Tip: We can always undo deletion of a track.	3	Editing

All these determine which attributes of the events will be locked when you lock them. Notes: Position: No moving the event. Size: No resizing the event. Other: Fade Handles, Event Gain	7	Editing
Editing - Parts Get Track Names		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, parts on a track will automatically get the track’s name.	7	Editing
Editing - Quick Zoom		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, the contents of parts/events are redrawn when you stop changing the zoom. Comment: I don’t notice much of a difference.(?)	?	Editing
Editing - Select Track on Background Click		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, clicking in empty space between parts/events of the same track will select the track. Tip: Using this preference together with “Editing - Track Selection Follows Event Selection” gives strong visual feedback of what’s what in the project window.	5	Editing
Editing - Track Selection Follows Event Selection		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, selecting an event will also select the track it’s on. Tip: Using this preference together with “Editing - Select Track on Background Click” gives strong visual feedback of what’s what in the project window.	5	Editing
Editing - Use Up/Down Navigation Commands for Selecting Tracks only		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, the Up/Down keys will be reserved for selecting tracks only.	3	Editing
Editors - Double-click Destination		Toggles between “Double-click opens Editor in a Window” and “Double-click opens Editor in Lower Zone”. This is what will happen when you double click on a part/event.	7	Editors
Editors - Editor Content Follows Event Selection		Activates/Deactivates. When activated: If you have an Editor open and select a different event, the editor will now show/edit the newly selected event.	4	Editors

Event Display - Show Event Names		Activates/Deactivates. When deactivated, event/part names are hidden.	9	Event Display
Event Display - Show Overlaps		Cycles between “Show Overlaps: Always”, “Show Overlaps: On Mouse Over” and “Show Overlaps: Never”. Comment: I can’t figure out how “On Mouse Over” works. I always see the overlaps (“zebra strip”), be it “On Mouse Over” or “Always”. I would expect that “On Mouse Over” I would need to, you know, move the mouse over the area in question for the “zebra strip” to show up. It seems it doesn’t work this way. Comments?	6	Event Display
Event Display - Smallest Track Height To Show Data		Cycles between “Minimal”, “One Row”, “Two Rows”, “Three Rows”. This preference sets the minimum track height needed for events to show waveforms and MIDI parts to show lines/blocks/their default data.	6	Event Display

MIDI - Insert Reset Events after Record		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, a reset message is insert at the end of each recorded part, that resets controllers.	6	MIDI
MIDI - Legato Mode: Between Selected Notes Only		Activates/Deactivates. Comment: I expected this command to connect to the Inspector>Editor>Length>Between Selected, but it is not connected. As this is a preference, it sort of makes sense, yet the same function mentioned above does not have a key command? I am not sure about how those two same(?) functions interact when one is on and the other is off.	6	Editing - MIDI

MIDI - Reset on Stop		Activates/Deactivates.	3	MIDI
MIDI - Select Controllers in Note Range: Use Extended Note Context		Activates/Deactivates. When deactivated: If you have a CC extend beyond an event’s (note’s) duration and you select the event, only the CC nodes exactly matching the note’s duration will be selected. When activated, if the CC continues beyond the duration of the note, this extra data will be selected when you select the note.	4	Editing - MIDI
MIDI - Show Controllers		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, the MIDI part in the project window will also depict CCs, and not only notes.	4	Event Display - MIDI
MIDI - Snap MIDI Parts to Bars		Activates/Deactivates. When activated: When you are recording MIDI and you stop recording, the MIDI part created will be extended to start/end on the start of a bar. When deactivated: The MIDI part will have its start at where recording began, and its end at where recording stopped.	3	Record - MIDI
MIDI - Split MIDI Controllers		Activates/Deactivates. When activated: If you split a MIDI part in the project window, this preference will make it so that the new part gets a CC data node at its start (if the value was different than 0). When deactivated: The controller will not get a data node at the start. (and playback oddities may ensue if you throw away the first part that had the CC value leading into the the second parts value.) Comment: I cannot imagine why someone would want to keep this preference deactivated. (?)	3	Editing - MIDI
MIDI - Split MIDI Events		Activates/Deactivates. Similar as above. When activated, splitting a MIDI part in the project window at the middle of an event, will make it so the event is also split. When deactivated, splitting a MIDI part at the middle of an event, will make it so the event is “truncated” at the position of the split, and no new event is created in the part on the right.	3	Editing - MIDI
Plug-ins - Create MIDI Track when Loading VSTi		Cycles between “Always ask to”, “Always”, “Do not”. Determines if a MIDI track will be created when you load a VSTi from the F11 menu. Comment: “Always ask” does not seem to work over here. Maybe a long time ago I was asked and pressed “Do not show again”? Who knows.	3	VST - Plug-ins
Plug-ins - Open Effect Editor after Loading It		Activates/Deactivates. When activated, loading a plug-in will immediately bring up its window (GUI). Comment: If you are planning on creating 10 instances of “Mystic” for example, it’s a good idea to deactivate this preference before the batch creation. Even if you can close all plug-in windows with one key after the fact, it takes some time to actually load all those windows, so it’s better if you don’t let them load from the get-go, using this preference.	8	VST - Plug-ins
Plug-ins - Plug-in Editors “Always on Top”		Activates/Deactivates. Per manual: “Always shows the control panels for effect plug-ins and VST instruments on top of other windows.”	8	VST - Plug-ins
Plug-ins - Suspend VST 3 plug-in processing when no audio signals are received		Activates/Deactivates. The troublesome preference. Steinberg advised to keep this off until further notice (at the time of 10.5.20). When activated, VST 3 plug-ins suspend their processing (thus improving performance and reducing cpu load) when no audio is passing through.	3	VST - Plug-ins
Plug-ins - Synchronize Plug-in Program Selection to Track Selection		Activates/Deactivates. When Activated: If you have a multitimbral instrument like Halion SE and you are feeding it from many midi tracks, navigating the project window, going from MIDI track 1 to MIDI track 2 will move the respective sound slots in the plug-in’s window.	3	VST - Plug-ins
Plug-ins - Warn before Removing Modified Effects		Activates/Deactivates. Well explained. When activated, if you try to unload (throw away) a plug-in that you have previously tweaked, you will be warned and asked to confirm the removal of the plug-in. When deactivated, the plug-in will be removed swiftly without warning.	3	VST - Plug-ins
Project & MixConsole - Deep Track Folding		Activates/Deactivates. When activated: Toggling selected track (From Project>Track Folding) will expand/reduce ALL subfolders contained in the selected folder track. When deactivated: Only the root folder will be toggled.	4	Editing - Project & MixConsole
