Where are the Settings Stored?
You have many different options for customizing Cubase at your disposal. While some of the settings you make are stored with each project, others are stored in separate preference files.
If you need to transfer your projects to another computer in another studio, for example, you can bring all your settings along by copying the desired preference files and installing them on the other computer.
It is a good idea to save a backup copy of your preference files, once you have established your desired setup. This ensures that, if another Cubase user wants to use his or her personal settings when working on your computer, you can restore your own preferences afterwards.
-
On Windows, preference files are stored in the following location: \Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\<program name>\.
On the Start menu, you will find a shortcut to this folder for easy access.
-
On macOS, preference files are stored in the following location: /Library/Preferences/<program name>/ under your home directory.
The full path is: /Users/<user name>/Library/Preferences/<program name>/.
The RAMpresets.xml file, which contains various presets settings, is saved on exiting the program.
Program functions that are not used in the project, such as crossfade, or configurations, such as panels, are not stored.
