Thanks @alexis That was helpful. So I got it installed. And most of it installed in the right place, in the Steinberg folder in the C drive.
BUT some new folders have appeared in my Documents folder.
Spectral Layers Edits
Steinberg. For some reason it dates from 1/02/22. But the Cubase folder within it is dates from yesterday (when I installed Cubase 12) and contains lots of stuff.
VST3 Presets
The problem with this stuff being in my Documents folder is that this folder is automatically backed up while running. So if anything is saving here while Cubase is running, it will slow it down.
Has anyone any ideas if there a better place to save this stuff, and how can I move it to this new location?
@Mnatseah I don’t believe you can change those locations without possibly doing registry hacks or using symbolic links. The Documents folder is the best place to keep any user content/preferences. What are you using for your backups? Good backup software should absolutely not disrupt you while you’re working. I have a Synology NAS for backups and I use the free Synology Drive Client to back up all changes to anything under my Documents and Music folders (plus my directory of purchased software and my sample/preset libraries). I record a lot of live audio these days (recording hardware synths), and all of this stuff is under my Documents folder and backed up on the fly with no performance penalty.
