Studio One / FSP8 FX Chain Storage Issue?

[Craig Anderton]

[Edit - Sorry, the fix didn't seem to work. The Browser's FX Chains now show a mix of presets from D:\Studio One\Presets\PreSonus\FX Chains\v3.0 FX Chains and D:\Studio One\Presets\Fender\FX Chains\v3.0 FX Chains, even though I tested with both having the same presets. So the program seems to not be treating either one as the "official" home for FX Chains. All I really want to know is what single folder will FSP recognize as the default location for FX Chains? Then in theory they'll all show up in the Browser, and if I save a new FX Chain, it will go into that folder. Until then, I'm keeping my collection of FX Chains in a folder on the desktop, and dragging them into FSP as needed.]

I found out the following solution because I had issues with FX Chains not saving where expected, new FX Chains not showing up in the Browser but showing up in the same Explorer folder as other presets in the Browser, and a variety of other annoying issues that seemed to relate to Studio One vs. FSP. Maybe I'm the only one who's experienced these kinds of issues. But if not, and you use a lot of FX Chains, hopefully the following will ensure that your S1 FX Chains and newer FSP FX Chains will show up correctly in custom Browser folders.

If you have your FX chains in a User Data folder like D:\Studio One\Presets\PreSonus\FX Chains\v3.0 FX Chains, you need to move them to a folder in D:\Studio One\Presets\Fender\FX Chains\v3.0 FX Chains. I tried simply renaming the PreSonus folder in Presets to Fender, but that didn't solve all the problems I had. It seemed the files needed to be moved to the Fender-named folder.

Maybe there's no obvious answer to this...surely there must be a preferred folder structure for User FX Chains?

Inspired by your Huge Book of Studio One Tips and Tricks, I was planning on making up my own FX Chain to help solve my hearing problem.

An audiologist determined years ago that my left ear has a big dip in response around 12 kHz. As a result, when I switch channels on a stereo mix, I sometimes find a big L-R spectral imbalance. So I'm thinking of an FX chain that both measures and allows correction of L-R spectral imbalance.

Now, in which folder do I put it?
