Default Transferring FX presets

2 computers in different locations. Did some mixing at home and created a bunch of EQ/Comp user FX presets. Transferred project to 2nd computer but the new FX presets don't show up...how do I transfer a project including the new FX presets...or do I need to transfer the FX library separately? ....and if so, how? 2nd computer is offline so I'm using a USB stick to do my transferring..

Here's how it works in Windows. Hopefully the same in OSX.

For each effect, open the effect's GUI and, near the top, in the center, click the "+" button then select "Export preset library".

Select your USB thingie as destination and then perform the "import preset library" on each effect in your second machine.

I did see that in the manual and have given it a try...will see what happens when I get to the 2nd computer...wondering whether it exports the ENTIRE library (EQ,Comp,Verb etc.) or just the new presets from that particular FX

... you will need to do it for each FX individually.

I have to do that from time to time, because I have 2 studios in 2 different cities. And it's very easy.

Just "export configuration" (Preference - General). And in your other Device, you go to preference-general and "Import Configuration".

You will find everything...

Define "Configuration"...what all does that entail? Is it a "Project specific" action or a "Global" action?

Yup. Should be easy.
BTW, I apologize for giving you mis-leading info earlier.
