Where Does FxSound Store Presets?
FxSound factory presets folder plus custom .fac import and export on Windows.
Last updated
FxSound ships factory presets as files in its install directory while custom presets live in user state managed through Settings import and export. The two sets behave differently on reinstalls.
Factory files vanish and return with the installer, so a preset wipe after updating usually means the app launched from the wrong path (like a stray desktop exe) rather than data loss. Customs survive only through export: use Export Presets to a folder of .fac files and keep it somewhere safe.
Where FxSound stores this, by platform
%PROGRAMFILES%\FxSound LLC\FxSound\Factsoft (factory presets)
Stock .fac files beside the proper install; running a stray exe elsewhere shows no presets. Customs export through Settings to a folder you choose. Always launch from the installed path.
Frequently asked questions
why did my FxSound presets disappear after updating
The app is likely running from a copied exe instead of %PROGRAMFILES%\FxSound LLC\FxSound. Reinstall clean to the default path and presets return. Then export customs so the next scare costs nothing.
how do I back up FxSound presets
Open Settings, export presets to a folder, and store the .fac files with your backups. Import them back through the same menu; duplicates import safely ignored.
