Copy and Paste Between FL Studio Projects.I’ll break down copying and pasting for each section in Fruity Loops: We’ll also talk a little bit about some FL Studio keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys to make the process a lot easier when it comes to working with the Sequencer, Piano Roll, native and third-party VSTs, automation clips, and I’ll quickly touch on copying presets and effects between mixer tracks in FL Studio 20.

Edit: The VST Inventory tool is linked in the top of a sticky in the Software forum.In this article we’re going to discuss copying and pasting notes in FL Studio. for future ease of "finding things" is best to keep this structure.
64-bit plugs default to C:\Program Files\Cakewalk\Vstplugins and 32-bit default to C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk\Vstplugins. Also be mindful to keep plugins separated on 64-bit.

If you have both machines fully functional, it is significantly easier to look from one to the other, but as one is 32 bit versus 64 bit (seems from your post?), any "imaging" wouldn't work for that. I have been going by the inventory list mentioned above, and realized how many "garbage" VSTs I have installed over time, so am only re-installing ones I actually use. I just reformatted this machine to wipe the registry, and been manually installing things as they come up.

Also bear in mind when going to 64 bit, using some 32 bit plugins can be problematic (you can install both 32/64 versions of SONAR on the same machine which is probably a good start). You can play with copying VSTs, but that will be very much hit or miss. One place to start is run Bitflipper's VST Inventory (is in the OP of that thread) so you have an actual listing. some VST's simply need to be in the proper directory, others have software with them that needs to be installed, and some required registry entries to activate. Altogether it took a couple weeks and $300 (for ST3) before I could pull over all of my old projects and run them on the new machine. I'd press CTL-C to copy the list into a running text file, where I could cross items off the list as problems were resolved. Whenever I'd load an old project, SONAR would give me a helpful dialog listing all the plugins it couldn't find. For those I had no choice but to remove them from old projects and replace them with contemporary versions. One sticking point was the few plugins that could not be re-installed because they were obsolete versions and no longer available for download. I was relieved when Pro-Q dropped in without any fuss. Most products don't have this problem, and SONAR is perfectly happy to load the 64-bit version into existing projects without complaint. I saved presets on the old machine using the names of the songs they came from, and copied all those presets over, which eased the transition. Every project I brought over from the old machine had to have Ozone deleted and re-inserted. A few plugins see their 64-bit and 32-bit plugins as separate products. I was sad to lose it and went as far as buying SampleTank 3 so I could import and continue to use the old libraries. Of course, a few had no 64-bit counterparts, but fortunately only one of my 32-bit plugins (SampleTank 2.5) failed in the 64-bit environment. For the customer-friendly vendors (Valhalla, Melda, FabFilter, Voxengo) that was painless. That meant having to download 64-bit versions of existing plugins. Like you, I was also migrating to 64 bits.

For example, Meldaproduction makes it very easy: just copy over the license files. How much of a pain that is varies a lot from vendor to vendor. But many, perhaps most, will have to be re-authorized. After a re-scan, many of them will just work. You don't have to worry about overwriting the 64-bit versions of SONAR-bundled plugins, because they're in another location. You can start by simply copying your previous VSTPlugins folder to the laptop. I'll relate some of the challenges I experienced. It was not an entirely pleasant experience. I just went through this earlier this year.
