A.N.A 2 presets are gone

[Vega2k]

Good morning.

When I open A.N.A 2 and go into the lib all off the presets are gone / missing. They are still there but there is no way of browsing since they do not appear.
They are still in the folder and everything. All the factory presets and the presets I bought are there as well but they wount show in A.N.A 2.

It says it wount open the file since I do not have any app on my PC that support these files it says, so something buggy is happening here.

Any idea of how this could happend and how to fix it?

Regards
Vega

Hey there @Vega2k

Are the presets gone or are they greyed ??

--> If they appear greyed inside the presets browser, try to set back the search tags to "ALL"

Have you tried to update or re-installed ANA 2 before this issue happens ?
Or have you manually rename any presets folders ?

I'm assuming you're on Windows, so yo need to make sure that you run the correct installer matching your OS version ( depending if you're on a 32bit or 64bit environment ), just run the corresponding installer, not both.

Before trying to re-install, you could try the following as well ( with your DAW close ) :

Browse to this location C:/Users/YourUser_Name/AppData/Roaming/Sonic Academy/ANA 2_ ( AppData is an hidden folder by default, just Google how to reveal hidden folders on Windows if you can't see it )

--> Once in this directory, you should see a ANA2.settings file, delete it then start your DAW, launch a new instance of ANA 2 and see if it changed anything.

If it doesn't work then uninstalling/reinstalling ANA 2 should fix the problem, make sure to download the latest version from your S.A user account.

You'll find an uninstaller at this location : C:ProgramData/Sonic Academy/ANA 2 it should be named Uninstall ANA 2 64Bit.exe ( for the 64bit version ), run the uninstaller and then perform a new install making sure you're only running the correct installer as mentioned above. ( Take note that ProgramData is also an hidden directory on Windows by default, you'll need to reveal it if you can't see it ).

Hello.

No they are gone in the browser when I go into the browser in A.n.a 2, there is nothing there but they are still in the a.n.a 2 folder like it was before. But they will not show in FL studio when I open ana 2 and go into ana 2 lib

Yes I m using a windows pc.

I will try this out today and if I dont fix it I will come back.

Thanks for the answer cheers!

Thanks for the reply & update.

That's a bit odd, something might be wrong with your ANA 2 installation, but it could also be something with FL Studio plugin cache that got corrupted.

To ensure that it's not ANA 2 installation, the best would be to uninstall it manually, then restart your PC and perform a new installation from a fresh download from your user account.

You can refer to this guide on the Support Page for the manual uninstall procedure.

Hope this helps, let us know if that works for you.

Well, the good new is that it's now working

As for the how & why, I won't worry too much about it : it's not always predictable unfortunately. It could be updates, disk files corruption...etc. At some point, when a reboot doesn't solve problems, I took the habit to simply uninstall as much as I can and then perform a so called "clean" installation after a reboot and also cleaning what's left over with CCleaner ( both files + registry cleaning ). Not always fun to do I recon, but in the end it takes less time than trying to narrow down the issue and try to fix it by several tweaks.

Thanks for your update, not everyone reports back once they solved their issue, so that's much appreciated

Cheers !
