Browser

 

The Browser lets you find and import various types of content into your projects, including audio and MIDI files, track and project templates, track icons, effect plug-ins and instruments. You can drag content and plug-ins directly into tracks. The Browser consists of three sections:

Media Browser. Find audio, MIDI, video, projects, project templates, track templates and track icons that you want to import into a project. For more information, see Using the Media Browser.

Plug-in Browser. Organize plug-ins and drag effects to tracks and clips. You can access audio effects (DirectX and VST), MIDI effects (MFX), instruments (DXi and VSTi) and ReWire devices. For more information, see Using the Plug-in Browser.

Synth Rack Browser. Manage all active instruments in a project. For more information, see Using the Synth Rack Browser.

Objects in the Browser can be added to your project in two ways:

Drag the object to an appropriate location.

Double-click the object in the Browser.

By default, the Browser is docked on the right side of the screen. More detailed information is shown in the Media Browser and Synth Rack Browser when the Music Creator Browser is floating or docked at the bottom of the screen. For more information, see Docking/undocking and resizing the Browser window.
