Chapter 12 Project Manager 423
Scan Folder…
Functions > Scan folder is identical to Scan, but with the standard Scan command, you
can only scan folders that appear in the Project Manager Browser. What about new
folders that the Project Manager hasn’t yet noticed? If you select Functions > Scan folder,
a folder selection dialog box appears onscreen.
Stop Scanning Process
Functions > Stop Scan Process is self-explanatory. This function is especially useful if you
accidentally start an expanded scan of your entire disk/system. Youd probably want to
stop this. All data detected up until the Stop Scan Process command will not be lost.
Browse Mode
File Types
In order to follow the Functions described in the following paragraphs, please select
Browse (not Find Mode or Scan Paths) in the selector at the top left of the Project
Manager window. Use Functions > Scan folder, and select a folder that contains songs
and audio files. If these file types are located on different drives, perform two folder
scans in order to view the appropriate Project Manager data. You can also scan all of
your drives completely, but this may take a while, depending on the number of files/
disks. Deselect any current selection in the Browse menu, and select Functions > Scan
to do so. You can continue working in Logic during the scan.
You’ll find the hierarchical structure of the Browser self-explanatory. After a full scan,
the top-most hierarchical entry—above all of the disk names—is “Media on Disk. The
next level of the hierarchy is for the various data types:
Audio Files
EXS 24 Instruments
Logic Plug-in Settings
Movie Files
Song Files
Remember that audio files can be referenced by both; a Logic song and an EXS24
instrument.
Sub-division of Audio Files
Audio files are sub-divided into:
AIFF files
Recycle Files
Sound Designer I Files
Sound Designer II Files
WAV Files
These are different audio data formats that Logic can read/use without conversion.
