    I been wondering if you can edit the categories in the Media Bay.
    For example, i have a sample, a drum fill.
    And in the Attributes Inspector there's Category and Sub-Category.
    Inside Category, i have Drum&Perc.
    Inside Sub-Category, there are beats, claps, snare, etc.
    Can i add items to that Sub-Category? like for example, Fills.
    Thanks!

    Not correct! You can make user attributes (well not in 10.5 since they introduced bug which is confirmed and will be fixed in the next maintenance update but in 10 and prior user attributes works fine) Here is a hint how you can make and label attributes. And yes I assign drum fills(2575) as my custom tag beside many others (see attachment)
    :)

    Also, about the Media Bay, how do you save all those tags, once you finish doing the nasty work of tagging each and every sample you want? must be a way to back that up, right?

    Wow, I wish I knew that when used Cubase a couple years ago, I always hated the Media Bay in it's execution. Best of luck!

    Hi, The best thing is you don't have to save it at all. tags are already written in the file (wav/aiff...) in form of small xml line(you can open that tagged file in text document and scroll down and you will see) in other words media bay reads them properly (again except 10.5 at the time of writing this) so in case you trash preferences or take all those tagged wavs onto USB stick to another studio you will always have them properly read without any hassle with database or whatsoever.

    See attachments for the steps ;)

    Thank you, Grada for the dedicated .gif! You have my gratitude, man!
    So, 10.5 won't read those newly custom tags if i made them, that's the problem?
