Where are Apple AU plugin presets stored
I've created a preset with the Apple Multiband Compressor that I want to share with someone. The problem is I've searched hi and lo on my hard drive and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know where it is stored?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The particular plugin I'm looking at doesn't display the precise settings except when you are dragging the handle of that parameter. It's the AUMultibandCompressor. So a screenshot really won't cut it. Thanks for the suggestion though! I think there must be a file created when you create a preset because it offers to allow you to LOAD a preset from a file. I've searched all the usual places and can find nothing! Any other ideas will be most appreciated.

One question, if you run the program from another user account, are the
same presets there? Are au plugins a package and do they have internal
storage.

Where are Apple AU plugin presets stored
The "load presets" function allows to read presets stored in the standard
"aupreset" format. At the moment, Amadeus does not allow to create such
files, but it's actually not difficult to do so "by hand" (it's a bit hackish, but
not much can really go wrong…). Just follow the following steps, only a text
editor is needed:
1. Locate the file com.HairerSoft.AmadeusPro.plist in your Library/Preferences
folder and make a copy of it. Put the copy on your Desktop (say) and rename it
to "test.aupreset".
2. Open this file in a text editor (I use TextWrangler). It will show all sorts of strange
looking stuff, but it's well formatted and actually kind of human-readable.
3. Search for the name of your preset (say it was called "MyGreatPreset"). The portion
where you find it should look something like this:
<key>name</key>
<string>MyGreatPreset</string>
<key>value</key>
<dict>
<key>params</key>
<dict>
[Some Stuff]
</dict>
</dict>
4. Now trash everything in your file except for the "Stuff", the first three lines and the
last line. Your file should now look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
[Some Stuff]
</dict>
</plist>
5. Insert the name of the preset back, so it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>name</key>
<string>MyGreatPreset</string>
[Some Stuff]
</dict>
</plist>
If the "Stuff" already contains a block with a "name" key, you can just delete that block.
6. Save the whole thing and try to load it within the corresponding plug-in in Amadeus Pro
to make sure everything works fine. If the format isn't correct, AP should just throw up
some error message.
Regards,
Martin

Fading out
Hello:
Using the latest if I have a stereo track selected, do command-a if I go to affects, fading, I don't see said out. I see the other faid options such as said-in ETC.
I don't want the track to said in, just faid out. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.
I use to see this in previous versions such as 2.0 I think. Using VoiceOver so keyboard commands will have to be used.
Take care,
John
