With recent versions of macOS, you may encounter permission issues with the presets folder.
Depending on the plugin this can manifest in different ways :
- the dedicated presets installer fails to copy the files.
- you are unable to save user presets.
You can use the following procedure to fix this issue :
- open your user library folder (hidden by default, see this page for instructions on how to access it)
- open the
Audio/Presets
directory inside the Library folder - in
Presets
, create anInear_Display
directory (note the underscore) if it does not exist - set the permissions of the
Inear_Display
directory you just created to read/write for everyone. - If you had issues with an installer, run the installer again and it should be able to populate the folder
For reference here is a screenshot of the directory structure :
If you need to create a folder for a specific plugin in the Inear_Display
folder, it
will usually be named the same as the plugin (please refer to the installation instructions in the
plugin user guide where a different naming convention will be mentioned if there is one).
