AudioBase is a clip database which allows you to search for sounds on all devices in your system, audition them, and
bring them into your current project. AudioBase 2 is almost the same software, but works in the networked environ-
ment. The differences will be summarised at the end of this section.
To put sounds into the database, a normal Project is "Published". When this happens, all clips in that Project become
"Clip Records" in the database, which can later be turned back into clips by "Pasting" into any open Project. Standard
Microsoft WAVE files can also be published, allowing them to be auditioned and brought into your project.
AudioBase is a large topic. Here is a mini Table of Contents for this section of the Manual:
