I’m in the middle of the process of copying all my projects from a Windows computer (running Cubase 5.1) to a Mac OS X Lion (running Cubase Artist 6.5). I have installed almost all the same plug-ins on my Mac that I used on my Windows computer. Not all of them were available for Mac.
Is there a way to copy the plug-in presets? I know about the AppData folder. Could I just copy an .xml file from there? If so, which one? I’d like to be able to use at least the presets I’ve created to the standard plug-ins that come with cubase, for example the reverbs, delays and compressors.
You mean the Cubase vst3 presets, or plugin internal presets.
For the first, copy the presets from the PC´s vst3 user presets folder to the Mac´s vst3 user presets folder.
For the second do the same, but from the specific Plugins save folders.
I copied the .vstpreset -files from c:/users/username/AppData/Roaming/VST3 Presets and pasted them to /Library/Audio/Presets/ on my Mac. The bundled Cubase vst3-effects found my own presets with no problem, but the third party plugins didn’t.
I thought that with the Import FXP / FXB option found under the effects’ preset icon I could activate my own presets, but I can’t. I can browse to the preset folders, but for some reason the .vstpreset-files are grey, so I can’t choose them.
