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 ...

Correct answer ryclark

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.

I could not agree more...this is utterly and completely ridiculous!

Isn't this WHY we're all using "cloud" software...so that we can work quickly an ALWAYS have software that's up to date!?!?!?!

Going through and having to redo all my keyboard short cuts...colors...layouts...favorites...I'm about to lose it!

    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).
