1. Click CANCEL in the Updating Database dialog to interrupt the scan.
A Cancel Rescan dialog opens up asking you to confirm that you want to cancel the scan:
 
The  dialog  warns  you  that  cancelling  the  scan  may  lead  to  inconsistencies  or  missing
items in your MASCHINE Library.
2. If you still want to cancel the scan, click CANCEL RESCAN at the bottom right, and the
scan will be cancelled.
3. If you prefer instead not to cancel the scan, click CONTINUE or press [Esc] on your com-
puter keyboard, and the scan will go on.
If you cancelled the scan, any inconsistencies or missing items in your MASCHINE Library will
be solved by rescanning the same path(s) again (via the Rescan button mentioned above).
In opposition to the rescan process described here, you cannot cancel the import of files
into the MASCHINE Library (via the FILES pane of the Browser or via the Library page of
the Preferences panel) nor the process of applying changes to the file tags and proper-
ties (via the Attribute Editor in the Browser).
Using Aliases
The aliases available in the Alias column act as references to the paths shown in the Location
column. When you save a Project, the saved data includes both the path and the alias for each
file used in the Project. This will allow you to use a Project on different computers even if the
files  used  in  the  Project  (e.g.,  Samples)  are  stored  in  different  locations  on  each  computer:
Simply  define  the  same  alias  for  these  locations  on  each  computer,  and  MASCHINE  will  re-
place the path saved on the first computer with the path set to the same alias on the second
computer in order to retrieve the files on this second computer, therefore avoiding the possibil-
ity of missing Samples.
