Every time I download presets and go to import, I get message “Presets not found in this file”. ---

Could you try moving the imported presets to another location? [Importing and Exporting Presets in FxSound - FxSound Learning Center](https://www.fxsound.com/learning-center/importing-and-exporting-presets) ---

Hi @Moto1 The bonus presets will be downloaded as a BonusPresets.zip file. You need to extract the zip file and then select the extracted folder to import the presets. Can you try this? ---

I have tried ALL the methods shown here and I can’t install the preset(12 + 59). The zipped folder won’t extract, no matter which Zip extractor software I use!! Can someone create an executable file with the presets? I found one but it doesn’t extract. ---

Are you downloading the bonus presets from [https://github.com/fxsound2/fxsound-app/raw/main/bin/BonusPresets/BonusPresets.zip](https://github.com/fxsound2/fxsound-app/raw/main/bin/BonusPresets/BonusPresets.zip)? ---

Yes, but it will not extract and, how I can integrate those presets into my FX application? ---

The zip file is standard zip format. You can extract it on Windows and then import the presets by selecting the extracted folder. ---

I used 7-zip to extract the files, and they extracted. I should clarify my problem: How do I get (import) the presets into the FX app? I thank you for your response and your help, Sir! ---

Select the Import Presets menu option in FxSound, ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fxsound/original/2X/a/ac44731275561bfa51550a6b242755ff0a5f695b.png) In the dialog that pops up, select the folder where the preset files are extracted using 7-zip ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fxsound/original/2X/9/9f246c894e731054d39f69114c4243975bb65024.png) ---

Option is grayed out, can’t select. This is designed for computers ENGINEERS, not for regular people like me. Something that install’s itself is a better way to get the presets! ---

I gave up on the presets! Thank you for your help with this!
