How to copy Plug In Settings from one computer to another?

[christopherlennon]

I have waves on computer #1; It has many custom settings which can be found by clicking on the load button.
I just purchased computer #2, and have installed protools and the wave plugins- now I want to be able to access all the previous customized settings i created for the waves plugins in computer #1 on computer #2.
Any one know which file I copy from #1 to #2??
Thank You.

I THINK that this location : HD>Library>Application Support>Digidesign>Plugin Settings is where your presets and your customized presets will be saved. I believe if you want to copy them to another computer, you should be able to simply copy the one(s) you want to a flash drive etc, and put them in the same folder mentioned above, on the 2nd computer. If this isn't correct, maybe someone else can chime in.

That's my school of thought too.

Yes, it's the default way to save plug-in settings and I believe that Pro Tools don't authorize you to choose another.
I don't know Waves plugs but if they are like TL Space, for example, then you have a special file where your preset are.
In most cases HD>Library>Aplication Support

Good luck

Thank you all for your responses-
I am aware of those locations, but the specific file?
I haven't clicked on a file/folder that specifically has all the settings there
that I programmed-
Do you guys know which specific file?
Thank you again-

I don't have the Waves plugins myself, but I would think the process for saving them would be the same. I just opened a session, used the default PT EQ 3.0 and saved an EQ setting as "TEST." Under HD>Library>App Support>Digidesign>Plugin Settings>EQ 3.0 I now see the same setting I saved within Pro Tools. It sounds like you just need to find the correct folder where your waves plugins are and the settings you save SHOULD be in there. I don't see why any plugins would be in a different location than the one listed above. Hope this helps.
