Upgrade 13 to 14 - copy Settings

[Micha_Frischmuth]

I bought the upgrade from Cubase 13 Pro to 14 Pro.
Is there a possibility to copy all settings? I am missing several plugins and the audio board (UR 44 C) is not recognized correctly (I see only Streaming channel and not the inputs). Also the settings / mapping of my Mixer (Behringer X-Touch) are messed up. Is there a possibility to copy for example a config file from 13 to 14? Cubase 13 is still installed and I can use it correctly.

The file system can be confusing and sometimes presets are saved in more than one location. Moreover, there are some pitfalls that one should be aware of. At first, this might sound like a complicated and nerv…

About missing plugins:

They will eventually…
However, there are other possibilities to integrate VST2s via a VST3 host software like Blue Cat Audio Patchwork.

Here’s a recent thread about different options to integrate VST2s (or not) and Blue Cat in particular

Others have mentioned this, but I figured I’d point it out again. If you own “must have vst2 synths,” then it may be worth your time to look at Blue Cat Patchwork or Metaplugin which are VST3 hosts in themselves. I’ll use iZotope Iris 2 as an example - it’s a great little synth that is rather unique, and I’ve got some wonderful patches of custom sound design work with it. It’s out of production now. I’m using Apple Silicon in native mode (not Rosetta). Not only is Iris 2 out of produc…
