Where Does eqMac Store Presets and Settings?
Where eqMac keeps preferences, presets and how to transfer them.
Last updated
eqMac stores live settings in its preferences plist with presets managed through in-app JSON import and export. Older eqMac2 builds used a differently named plist, so version matters when hunting files.
Copying plists between machines looks tempting and fails across the rewrite boundary. The supported path is export JSON on the old Mac, import on the new one, or Pro cloud sync for hands off moves.
Where eqMac stores this, by platform
~/Library/Preferences/com.bitgapp.eqmac.plist
Live settings plist. Older eqMac2 used the eqMac2 variant name. Prefer in-app preset export and import JSON over plist copies, which break across versions. Quit the app before touching the file.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move eqMac presets to a new Mac?
Use the in-app Import and Export buttons in EQ settings instead of plist copies. Manual plist moves across versions fail because the data layout changed, and trial mode disables expert preset import anyway.
Does eqMac sync presets across Macs?
Enable Cloud Sync with a Pro account. Presets and settings then follow your login across machines, which replaced the old plist copy dance that broke between major rewrites.
