DigiBase Browsers
DigiBase databases are accessed through Digi-
Base
browsers . Browsers provide an intuitive user
interface to DigiBase databases with many con-
venient features for various file management
tasks (such as search and sort functions).
Browsers in Pro Tools are analogous to windows
in your computer’s operating system (such as
Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder), but are
specially designed for working in Pro Tools.
Multiple browsers can be displayed simulta-
neously, and arranged independently with cus-
tom display settings for each.
Browsers let you search and sort audio files,
video files, and sessions. These files are dis-
played in browsers and can be dragged directly
into the current Pro Tools session.
When offline items are needed, Pro Tools lets
you find the correct matching files, then relink
to online media.
