Backup or transfer your settings

To backup your settings for Effects, Generators and Analyzers, or to move your settings to another computer, you just need to access the audacity settings folder:

• Windows: C:\Users\<your username>\Appdata\Roaming\audacity
• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/audacity
• Linux: /home/<your username>/audacity-data

See this FAQ for details of how to access this folder on the three platforms.

In that folder you will find a file called pluginsettings.cfg. This is the file that contains the settings for your effects generators and analyzers, your last-used settings and any user presets you have saved using the "Manage" button in each effect's dialog.

• To backup your settings just copy this file to a safe location.
• You can copy this file to the same location on a different computer to transfer the settings.
