Cubase 5 - Default template directory?

[Ermz]

Hey guys,

Could one of you tell me where Cubase 5 saves the template session files you create on the hard disk? I need to find them so I can back up in case of future reformats etc.

It took me about an hour to lay out the last one, so I don't look forward to having to do it again!

On a PC: C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Application Data\Steinberg\Cubase 5\Project Templates

I've managed to find the equivalent directory on Windows 7, but unfortunately no 'Project Templates' folder exists.

Win 7: C:\Users\* USER *\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Cubase 5\Project Templates

 

[Ermz]

That's the thing, there's no Project Templates folder :s

That's the thing, there's no Project Templates folder :s

sometimes its in all users

or

common files

or in application data / steinberg

... also, windows 7 has great searching capabilities
search for the name of your project template, or even "templates" it should find it pretty quickly

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\Cubase 5\Project Templates

wowie, little bit convoluted.

talk about the short straw

Have you created a template with Cubase 5? If you havn't, it wont exist. If you have old templates from earlier Cubaseses goggly they will be located in another folder.

EDIT:

I don't even have C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\Steinberg\

Well it would appear that Microsoft are still exceedingly good at being Microsoft.

Make a dummy template called "fuckgranma" and search for it.
Only the template should show up.
If more then you are a very very naughty boy!

I think the problem is Steinberg. This shit is a pain to backup.

 

[Ermz]

Please don't get me started on Steinturd.

 

[joeymusicguy]

i can't wait until applications across the board are more self contained

i think mac has a good thing going there, for the most part

 

[Ermz]

Yeah. Windows is a bit too divided in where it stores information. Someone really needs to come along and wipe that whole registry system away. It's like they built needless layers of complexity upon each other, just because. Honestly, the fact that a file structure like the one I just quoted even exists is a massive failure on their part.

Kinda comforting, in a way

Yeh stuff like this is crazy. Anything of such value should never be placed in such crazy places. I go extremely mad when it comes to vst installs for instance, since i cant stand them sitting in my program files directory, EVERYTHING goes into the cubase vst file.

FWIW, I had to do a similar quest when backing up my Reaper FX chains and project templates - however, since I knew the file names, I found them in about 10 seconds with the help of this little guy

 

[joeymusicguy]

i've run into problems before with my system drive or partition not being big enough because all of the plugins and software installs were placing more and more things on the same drive, even when the plugin was installed in a separate plugin folder
