Audition CC 2018 import appearance settings from CS6

I have CS6 set up the way I like it on Win 10 pro.  Now I'm moving to CC I have to reinvent the wheel and would like to save my CS6 appearance settings and import them into CC

1) Is this possible?

2) where are the files?  (I have looked in C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\5.0) and there is also a folder C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\11.0 on my pc which appears to be the CC settings.

3) I tried a test save of the appearance settings out of CS6 with an easily identified name but cannot see any specific file so assume it is bound up in one of the xml files.

4) Can I copy the CS6 MachineSpecificSettings.xml file over to the CC directory (saving a copy of  the CC one elsewhere of course) or will this completely screw the CC app?

Would appreciate the advice as I really HATE the colour schemes in CC (and of course the unnecessary tweaking to make you feel you are getting value for money...)

Thanks

Anne

    Some of the settings will work but a few, like the colour schemes have changed quite a lot since CS6 unfortunately. So you may not be able to match the two completely.

    Yes all of Audition's Settings and Preferences are tied up in .xml files in the appropriate Audition Settings Folder. The Appearance settings are in ApplicationSettings.xml. As long as your 11.0 folder is backed up (I usually just add .bak to make 11.0.bak for instance) there is no harm in trying to copying any (or all) of the .xml files from 5.0 to 11.0.

    Thanks, I will dig around in a copy of the 5.0 folder to see what turns up.  I just hate the blue text, it is difficult to see against the dark grey background - the orange text in CS6 was much easier on my tired old eyes!).

    You don't need to do that. If you are running the latest CC 2018 version of Audition you can change the highlighted text colour in Preferences/Appearance under the General tab.
