what files to backup for Direct-X presets??? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:what files to backup for Direct-X presets??? Posted by: wrinklez Date:4/10/2000 11:10:00 PM over the last few years, I've had to reformat my drive numerous times, and reinstall my Sound Forge programs. Until recently, I had very few custom presets. Now I have quite a few,,,,some with the general program (pan/expand, etc..), and a lot with the XFX2 and Noise Reduction v2.0 plugins. What files do I need to routinely backup so as to not lose all my personal filter setups in case of a drive crash? And...after backing these up, what is the proper way to reinstall them? Just reinstall the program(s), and then overwrite the backed up files?? thanks much.

over the last few years, I've had to reformat my drive
numerous times, and reinstall my Sound Forge programs.
Until recently, I had very few custom presets. Now I have
quite a few,,,,some with the general program (pan/expand,
etc..), and a lot with the XFX2 and Noise Reduction v2.0
plugins. What files do I need to routinely backup so as to
not lose all my personal filter setups in case of a drive
crash?

And...after backing these up, what is the proper way to
reinstall them? Just reinstall the program(s), and then
overwrite the backed up files??
thanks much.

Hello.

To backup the presets, you could use the "Preset Manager" tool
available from the Tool menu in Sound Forge.

The Preset Manager is used to backup and transfer user-defined
presets from all of the effects, processes, tools and Plug-Ins that
are installed in Sound Forge.

Presets

This section contains a tree view explorer for all of the presets
that exist in your Sound Forge installation.
Presets will be organized by menu and then by function. For example,
if you want to access a preset in your DirectX Fungi Filter plug-in,
click the plus sign next to DirectX, then Fungi Filter and then
select the preset you wish to add.

Preset package contents

This section contains a list of all of the presets that you have
added to the current preset package.
To add a preset, select it and press the Add button. You can add as
many presets as you like. To remove a preset, select it in the Preset
package contents list and press the Delete button.

Settings

Pressing the Settings button will open a temporary dialog for the
selected function. From here, presets can be created on the fly to
add to the preset package.

Thanks.
