I have installed Audition on another machine in the office and am transfering things across.

How do I transfer the Presets?  Where are they located?

I'm talking Reverb settings ...

In the latest versions of Audition you can find the settings folder for your current installation by going to the Help menu and clicking on Reveal Log Files. Once there just go back up a level to find all your Audition settings.

For the newest version of Adobe Audition CC 2018 (v11) for Windows the full file-path to the Effect presets is:

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\11.0\EffectPresets.xml

Copy the whole file to another system and all the effects will be transferred.

And like the Mac users, you might find that this path is hidden by default too! (The hiding starts at AppData)

Just a note for those on MACs.

Your Library directory may be hidden even if you did not decide to hide it. (Thank you very much Apple. )

Go to your user directory (Macintosh HD\Users\(user_name)\

Then from the Finder menu at the top of the screen, choose View -> Show View Options

At the bottom of this window, make sure "Show Library Folder" is checked.

I spent an hour looking for the directory until I found this out.

OK now, let's not be grumpy. Apple is trying to keep some of us safe from ourselves. If you can't figure out how to get there, you shouldn't be there. Better safe than...

But here is another option is:

  1. In the Finder, select the Go menu
  2. Press the option key, and the Library will be in the list.
  3. Select Library and the path is clear from there
  4. /Preferences/Adobe/Audition/##
  5. Choose the File called:
    1. EffectPresets.xml
    2. and maybe Favorites.xml

Yes, Adobe should Mae this easier. Why not just import and export these like you can Application Settings?

And they should have an option to Merge (or not). A little research will show you how to do that the hard way ;-).

    A blast from the future - thanks for this - finally copied my shortcuts between machines! Cheers, Chris

    Are you on a PC or a Mac? All the settings and presets are stored as .xml files located in a folder as below:

     

    Windows:

    C:\Users\User_Name\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Audition\6.0\

     

    Mac:

     

    Mac:/Users/User_Name/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/6.0/

      Thank you.  Couldn't find that anywhere on the Adobe Audition forums, and of course Adobe couldn't be bothered to make sure our settings migrated with their latest upgrade from CC to CC 2014 (which I'm affectionately calling Adobe CF).
