new install of Pro Tools 2020.3: two questions
I just finished installing PT 2020.3 and all of my plugins. in 6 cases plugins created their own folders within "My Documents," but not inside the Pro Tools folder. I'm assuming that I can't just move them in there, right? (These folders have the presets.)
I've been using Trasher 3 for a while now, but I'm unsure whether I should back up everything that's listed. I know that in most cases you don't restore everything, but I can't remember whether in the past I backed up everything (or whether that's advisable). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: new install of Pro Tools 2020.3: two questions
Thanks, for your reply, lesbrunn.
This was a clean install of 2020.3 soon after a clean install of Windows 10 Pro. I think I'll just uninstall and reinstall those six plugins. I don't use the Windows "My Documents" folder for anything other than programs that put files there (like Pro Tools). But I don't like having random folders for loose plugins outside the PT folder. As for Trasher, I just back up everything. Thanks for your help. dg |

I'd let the plug installer put things to whatever default location it wants. I do, however, install (or move) all VI sample libraries (but not the plug) to a separate drive.

Thanks for the advice. Just to rule out any errors, I think I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of these to see where they put them. I have all my presets backed up on other drives.
