WaveCache
A global WaveCache file stores waveforms that
cannot be written back to the sound file, such as
read-only files, files on network and other read-
only volumes, and interleaved files. The global
WaveCache is stored in the Digidesign Data-
bases folder on your Pro Tools startup volume.
For write-enabled volumes, the cache is stored
with the volume’s Digidesign Database files, on
that volume.
If the Auto-Preview option is enabled, audi-
tioning starts as soon as the file is selected
in a browser.
