Hi - I have two main computers. One at home an one in my studio. On my home computer I have created quite a few interesting EQ profiles with MAutoEqualizer. Is it possible for me to move these to my studio computer in any way?

Thanks!

/Carl

I have the same issue, two studios (one at home, one at work), both running PC's. I copy the contents of the following folder to keep the Melda data on the two computers in sync:

C:\Users\*USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\MeldaProduction

The only issue you'll have is for things that include paths... such as external impulse response files. I have my impulses on both machines in identical locations on D and therefore it's not a problem.

Thanks! I'm on Mac, but I could find the files pretty quickly thanks to your post. Much appreciated!

Hah, I was going to suggest Exporting/Importing them on the Source Analysis window (as for many preset windows), but those functions are not there. Useful FR?

Could you possibly help me please?
I have a desktop PC in my studio and a Surface Pro 4 that I do a lot of work on.
I want to keep my Melda folders in sync with each other. However the most recently updated file could just as likely be on either machine, or sometimes both.
Is it possible to merge the folders but automatically keep the most recent file whichever machine its on.
As at the moment I can only overwrite all the files on one with all the files on the other.

Hope that makes sense.

Yeah, i have that issue with some things, it's a pain. You can try a tool or program like DarkStar suggests, or SyncTool- LINK REMOVED, it 404's when clicking from this forum for some reason. It's a Microsoft app, just google it.

Personally I do a lot more audio at my work studio than at my home studio (naturally), so it's rarely a problem for me and when I need to sync 'the other way' i email myself an export of whatever presets I've made... not the best solution but it happens rarely enough that I haven't invested the time/effort into researching a systematic approach like synctool.

I'll check out synctool too, thanks for your help.
