Ok, I made some test presets in Cubase, saved them but they won´t open in Live 10, for whatever reason.
Drag & drop is not working and when I try to open the preset from within the Rack browser, Reason Rack can´t read the preset file.

I think there’s a misunderstanding here. The vst3 preset is not a rack preset file, it’s a preset file that could be for ANY vst3 plugin. Think of it as a file that refers to the plugin that you’re using AND all the settings within it. In this case, its a preset file that says “save the state for reason rack vst3 and all its settings”. You’re not loading the preset into the reason rack, you’re loading it into the DAW track.

The preset I saved was able to be opened in Bitwig, Ableton and Reaper. It’s not DAW specific. When you drag and drop into Ableton make sure that you’re dropping into an instrument track and that the track highlights before you let go of the mouse button to “drop” the file.

If you can figure out the load/save vst3 preset process for each DAW you use then I think you’ll be fine. I’ll try another demo DAW tomorrow.

It works fine now, I don´t know why but I had to restart Live and then I could load the presets I made in Cubase.
Thank you quincy for the detailed explanation, all good now
