Import all settings from WL11 to WL 12

Hello,
Is there a way to import all settings from Wavelab 11 to Wavelab 12? When installing, it asks to import, but nothing was imported on my side.
Thank you

If nothing happened, you can manually transfer your Preferences folder. I made a video here:

It’s older but the same concept applies for WaveLab 12.

Maybe PG knows a way to re-trigger the question about importing your WL11 Preferences to WL12, but the video shows the manual way to do it:

For the record … it did the same thing to me.

Thank you Justin. :slight_smile:

Hi!

Just an additional question regarding this to Justin or PG.

I have my Settings Location on a separate external drive and use it between computers and also WL versions sometimes.

Can i still share/reuse my settings between WL11 and WL12 or has anything changed regarding Preferences and Presets etc. that makes them incompatible?

You can copy the WaveLab 11 settings to WaveLab 12. But don’t try the other way round, and don’t try to share them (same location). While it could work in some instances, it won’t work in other cases and will bring more trouble than anything else.

OK, thanks PG!

On Windows, my setting also did not copy over – the first start failed because the upgraded license had not yet synced. To trigger the import from WL11, I quit all instances of WL, then deleted the folder:

%APPDATA%\Steinberg\WaveLab Pro 12

On restarting WL12, I then got the dialog box asking whether I wanted to import the settings, which worked.
