Hello,
how can I save a filter curve that I created in order for it to survive my re-installation of my PC with Win-10?
In audacity (2.3.3), in the Menu [Effect], Filter curve I created my own filter curve.
By clicking the button “Verwalten” (= manage or administrate in english) in the lower left, I could give it a name and save it.
However, as creating this curve was some work I would like to export my filter curve or save it outside of audacity because I need to set up my PC with Windows 10 shortly.
I will go Tabula rasa which means install freshly and also install audacity again. But as my filter curve was only saved inside (the depths) of audacity I surmise it will be gone.
I want to prevent that from happening, as I do not want to recreate it again because creating the curve was nitty gritty.
How can I save my filter curve to a place on my hard drive and import it into audacity again after having set up my PC with Win-10?
Thank you for a suggestion.
I hope this is possible at all, somehow.
Until the next version of Audacity comes out, it’s a bit tricky.
The next version of Audacity has import / export for all built-in effects, but Audacity 2.3.3 doesn’t.
For Audacity 2.3.3 you will need to make a copy of the “pluginsettings.cfg” file.
That file will be in the hidden folder:
Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\audacity\
After reinstalling Windows 10, install Audacity, then copy the “pluginsettings.cfg” file back to the same place, overwriting the default pluginsettings.cfg file.
