Where are the settings stored?
As you have seen, there are a large number of ways in
which you can customize Cubase AI. While some of the
settings you make are stored with each project, others are
stored in separate preference files.
If you need to transfer your projects to another computer
(e.g. in another studio), you can bring all your settings along
by copying the desired preference files and installing them
on the other computer.
Ö It is a good idea to make a backup copy of your prefer-
ence files once you have set things up the way you want!
This way, if another Cubase AI user wants to use his or her personal set-
tings when working on your computer, you can restore your own prefer-
ences afterwards.
• Under Windows XP, preference files are stored in the
folder “\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Applica-
tion Data\Steinberg\Cubase AI 5\”.
On the Start menu, you will find a shortcut to this folder for easy access.
• Under Windows Vista, preference files are stored in the
folder “\Users\<user name\AppData\Roaming\Stein-
berg\Cubase AI 5\”.
On the Start menu, you will find a shortcut to this folder for easy access.
• Under Mac OS X, preference files are stored in the
folder “/Library/Preferences/Cubase AI 5/” under your
home directory.
The full path would be: “/Users/<user name>/Library/Preferences/
Cubase AI 5/”.
Ö The RAMpresets.xml file, which contains various pre-
sets settings (see below), is saved when exiting the pro-
gram.
Ö Program functions (e.g. crossfade) or configurations
(e.g. panels) not used in the project will not be stored.
Some of the preferences are not stored in the default pref-
erences folder. A list can be found in the article “Files for
the program settings and preferences” in the Steinberg
Knowledge Base.
To open the Knowledge Base, browse to the Steinberg
web site, click “Support” and choose “Knowledge Base”
in the list on the left.
