When I ran into this issue, I simply used to copy the relevant .xml from the previous Cubase version folder.
On Windows it’s at C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Cubase 10.5_64
Hi Martin, and thank you for responding, unfortunaterly my Key Commands and Preferences are not here, maybe I did something wrong…?
In C10.5 if I clicked the arrow, it would give me the option to select my list of presets, but does not, here. Also it does not have the option to import.
No, this is not the way. This way, you can import only very, very old Key Commands files.
If your preferences has not been migrated, you can quit Cubase and copy the KeyCommand.xml (or the whole folder) from Cubase 10.5 preferences folder to Cubase 11 preferences folder.
I know about this issue. But it never ever happened to me. I just haven’t been able to reproduce it (and I have really tried my best). So myself I don’t know any trick and I even haven’t read/found any. Sorry.
FWIW: I’m always nervous that if I copy XML files from one version to another I might somehow ‘hurt’ my install. I say that because, whenever I’ve had any problem with Cubase acting flaky and called SB Support, the first thing they say to try is to revert back to the default version of all those settings files.
My settings did, it didn’t even need to rescan all my plugins. That was new to me and appreciated. BTW I am on windows and it is safe to copy the xml files. If you ever screw up you can just delete it and cubase will make a new fresh one.
My FX Chain presets were there.
I had to copy Key Shortcuts (that’s the big one if lost, but is ok) and Templates (though both no problem when you know how).
Trying to work out how to copy my Plug-In Manager lists, I think I may have to redo them.
Preferences I couldn’t find, but don’t mind redoing them.
