Hi,

Go to Preferences/Operation and set correctly the ROOT path for Pro Tools Settings (IO Settings, Session Templates, Plug-ins Settings, etc) in the User Library part (left corner of the Preferences window).

On Mac, this location should be in "/Users/[login]/Documents/Pro Tools".
On Windows, I don't know but should be in User/Documents/Pro Tools too (or kind of)

I know it's an old thread, but thought it may help to restate what another poster has already, which worked instantly for me.

REINSTALL THE AVID INSTRUMENTS INSTALLER!

Well this worked for me, but pointing to the settings folder is sometimes necessary as well.

Best of luck!

Default Re: Missing presets for some of my air instruments in pt 11

Hi guys, I'm having the same issue with missing presets in PT 11. I've re-installed the AIR pkg, and I've pointed the user library to the correct folder, as discussed. Interestingly, in my "documents/ProTools" folder there are my UA presets and another folder called "Plug-In Settings." Within "Plug-in Settings" there is another folder called "Plug-in Settings", and so on. The same folder structure goes on forever, like two mirrors facing each other. Very weird. Anybody have an idea on this one?

Thanks,

Brian Peet

Here's what I would do...
  1. Go to your Documents folder and navigate to the Pro Tools folder at Macintosh HD/Users/you/Documents/Pro Tools/
  2. Move the entire folder named "Plug-In Settings" to your desktop
  3. Run the AIR Creative Collection 11.1 Installer
  4. Install the Pro Tools 11.2.1 version released today
  5. Restart
  6. Open Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
  7. Select Macintosh HD and Repair Disk Permissions
  8. Launch Pro Tools and let it automatically update the core plug-ins and rebuild the plug-in database (this will take a few minutes the first time, but Pro Tools will open faster on subsequent launches)
  9. Quit Pro Tools
  10. One at a time, move the presets from the presets folder you moved to the desktop back to the Documents/Pro Tools/Plug-In Settings folder.
Check carefully when you are moving the individual plug-in presets folders back to the root folder that there are no embedded "Plug-In Settings" folders inside of those individual plug-in settings folders. For example, you should have an individual plug-in folder hierarchy like this:
/Documents/Pro Tools/Plug-In Settings/AIR Chorus

For any third party plug-ins that don't show any settings after you have done all this, you should run the latest installer for those plug-ins. You can find links to many of these here:
3rd party 64-bit AAX Plug-ins for Pro Tools 11

Bruce, thank you for your help.

I have followed your instructions to the letter three times in a row. This is still not working, and it's driving me crazy.

I don't have any presets for any avid or AIR plug-ins. I have followed every piece of device throughout this thread, but no luck.

Could these presets be located somewhere else?

Thanks

Hey guys. I know this is an old threat - but I'm wondering if there was ever a resolve to this? I too have followed all of the recommendations and nothing has worked. Have any new suggestions surfaced on this issue?

Thanks
