Using the Project browser in Cubase SX/SL 2

There’s more than one way to navigate your sessions in Cubase... Hollin Jones gets to grips with the Project browser.

Increasingly powerful computers and ever-more complex soft instruments and processors are steadily pushing up the average size of the project files we work with. File sizes of more than 500MB don’t particularly raise eyebrows any more, but one of the characteristics of modern music production is that you can often achieve the same result in a number of ways – and this apparent flexibility contributes to the size of the file. This can be both confusing and helpful at the same time: once you’re familiar with a program, settling on a preferred working method is easy, but you may be wasting time because you don’t know a particular keyboard shortcut or menu option.
