Where do i find my user presets on my Mac?

[Andy Selway]

I’ve searched all possible locations and i cannot find where the presets, specifically my own user presets are kept?! i need to share one with someone i’m working with but cannot find the preset file, i want to send the actual preset file, not a saved project.

Thanks

You’ll find your user presets at:

~/Library/Application Support/Toontrack/Superior3/PresetsEZX

(~ is your user home directory)

You’re looking in the wrong area… that’s the root folder (/Library)

Followed exactly where you said, here’s the path

That’s not where I said…

more specifically, go to your /Users/yourusername (or hit Shift-Command-H in the Finder) – that is your home directory.

From there, follow the path.

Hi,

 

the easiest way to find your Presets is via the ‘Manage in Finder’ Menu item found in all sections’ Menus that have User Presets.

It will open up the Preset location in question in a Finder window (or Explorer window on a PC).

Guys! in particular Bear faced cow, thanks very much, and sorry for being such a doofus! i completely forget about the hidden library menu in finder every time, have to hold down option on Mac to get it, presets where you said they’d be, thanks all for your help!

Glad you found it. 🙂

If you open up your Home directory (shift-cmd-H) and then Show View Options (cmd-J) you will see a checkbox that says Show Library Folder.

The other way to get there is cmd-G (Go to Directory) and copy the full path (with ~) and paste it in the dialog box.

Appreciative of this thread. I took the same tutorial here by Bear-Faced Cow to be able to share my SD3 presets with a collaborator. THANKS!
