| Gear maniac  | HELP, erased all my NI presets!
So, I bought an SSD and CC cloned my HD onto it. Erased my old HD and am using it for sessions. And it worked wonderfully.... except. I somehow lost all my presets for absynth, fm8 and massive. And I want to know if there's anyway I could get them back without having to get out the discs and reinstalling everything and then updating... EVERYTHING... Such a pain....... thoughts? |

Can you find your presets on the disks and just copy them across?

Found em! For some odd reason the carbon copy of my old hard drive reset the sounds databases to be blank. If you find yourself in the same boat go to the standalone application and add these databases and then hit rebuild databases here's where they're at: mac hard drive/library/application support/native instruments/massive/sounds mac hard drive/library/application support/native instruments/fm8/sounds mac hard drive/library/application support/native instruments/absynth/sounds your USER made presets will be in your documents folder. |

Thank you for reminding me to update my backup drives. (and glad you managed to sort it out) Not sure how much money you saved by re-using what was previously a system drive for data, but a thought would be that boot drives are usually doing an awful lot of constant caching, writing to swap and temp files, so they may not be the best candidates for long-term data integrity when they become your work drive. Depends how precious your work is, I guess. Every time I have migrated, have always kept those original boot drives intact in case something like this would happen. Another interesting issue with NI presets for virtual instruments like Absynth is how to migrate older libraries of a specific instrument so that you can retain all of the earlier preset collections. Saw some info threads about this online a while back, and always been too lazy to follow through. As with everything else, your mileage may vary™ |
