I have a few Audio Connections presets that I save for changing connections, or resetting during issues. Today I opened Cubase and ALL of my Audio Connections presets are gone, except for one from 2018, when I was using Cubase 9.5 on my old MacBook.
I found another post here where they fixed it by copying over the RAMPresets.xml file from an older install, but my copy of 10.5 has also lost all my presets!
When I open RAMPresets.xml in a text editor, I can see my preset names in there. But even if I delete the existing file and replace it with the RAMPresets.xml with my presets in it, Cubase does not see them.
mac or pc ?
What audio interface ?
What else has changed - have you changed the the audio interface or audio interface driver ?
Rebooted - maybe the audio interface isn’t properly initialized which means the presets make no sense to cubase.
100% for sure, my correct interface is showing up in Control Room, Studio Setup, etc. My external hardware is even set up correctly.
The only thing that was weird today was that I was trying to preview a loop in the Media Right Zone, and I couldn’t hear it. I opened Audio Connections, and my assignments were wrong (like the main outs were set to Output 1 & Output 3). Then I noticed my presets were gone when I tried to restore to my safe-default.
it’s odd - but it feels like the missing presets are a symptom and not the cause of the problem…
without any real evidence whatsoever (!) I think cubase thinks the interface has changed in some way - hence the screwy assignments - and being unable to load the old presets…just guessing obviously.
I think it’s probably best to file under “unknown” and recreate what you can ?
I am having essentially same problem, first occurred about a week ago. 10pro on Windows 10. All my studio connections presets are gone. I was unable to restore them, so I created new connections and saved a preset. Next day, that was gone too. Had one-time message from windows OS saying “PFN error”
Just wanted to share my solution for this. I was also saving Presets in the various tabs of the Audio Connections window (Cubase 12 on MacOS 10.15), only to find the presets missing after quitting and re-opening Cubase 12.
I discovered that removing old Cubase version folders in the
/Users//Library/Preferences/
folder solved the issue. Once I did that, my Audio Connections presets were loaded again in the dropdown menus inside each Audio Connections tab.
So to be clear: you went in to /Users/username/Library/Preferences (not /Users/Library/Preferences) and deleted any folder that was named with an older Cubase version? I found and deleted these:
Of course I’d always recommend either (a) keeping them in Trash, or (b) having a backup of them elsewhere (e.g. a Time Machine backup of your drive) so that you can restore if necessary.
unfortunately i have the same issue with Cubase12 and only control room settings. I lost all of my custom presets ! I am a CU12 Win10 user! This issue drives my crazy and it keeps getting crazier because i cannot figure out when and why it is happening.
HI Iam new to Cubase so have only been using the latest version over the past two months.
I am having the same issue with my control room settings and plugins disappearing which is getting to be chore.
Its a shame as everything else has been an absolute joy since moving over to Cubase.
PC, Windows 10, Cubase 12
I’ve just installed Cubase LE AI Elements 12. I’m missing most of the presets for every category. For example for vocal presets I only have male rock vocals and standart male vocals. I tried deleting the zip and reinstalling then running as administirator. Can you help please? Windows 11, Audient iD4
Not only that I have no preset’s in Cubase 13 Elements using Windows 10, I cannot get sound from the M-Audio 49V. I am having massive problems with Cubase, I did not know you had to be a computer engineer and an Audio Engineer.
