How to load presets in Valhalla DSP VintageVerb

Back up first, then load your SoundShop presets in Valhalla DSP VintageVerb with the steps below.

This guide has 4 steps, start to finish. A printable PDF of it is also in every pack download.

The steps

1. Install VintageVerb

Log in to your Valhalla account. Get the latest installer from Plugins & Licenses, and save your .vkeyfile keyfile without opening it. Unzip the installer and run it. Put VintageVerb on a channel in your DAW and browse to the keyfile when asked.

2. Find the preset folder

On a Mac, VintageVerb presets live in Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support > Valhalla DSP, LLC > ValhallaVintageVerb > Presets. On Windows, user presets live in C:\ProgramData\Valhalla DSP, LLC\ValhallaVintageVerb\Presets\User.

3. Add the presets

Unzip your download first. Open 1 - Presets > 2 - Plugin Presets > Valhalla Vintage Reverb Presets and copy the two .vpreset files into the folder from step 2. Then click the preset name in VintageVerb to open its preset menu. Skip any __MACOSX folder and files starting with ._ (Mac leftovers, not presets).

4. Test out your new presets

You are good to go! Play through the sounds and see what inspires you. Don't forget to tag the artist on social media if you share something. They would love to hear how you are using their presets.

Questions

Presets not showing on a Mac?

Valhalla says to check you have read and write access to that Presets folder.

Using our Ableton racks?

VintageVerb is already inside them, so see our Ableton Live guide. The racks use the Audio Units version, which is Mac only, so on Windows use the .vpreset files.
