I have purchased some commercial presets. They are available when I look on profile of the creator while browsing [cloud.neuraldsp.com/](http://cloud.neuraldsp.com/) (I think).

How can I make a copy of those presets on USB stick?

I am old school and like to have physical copy of things, or as physical as it gets.

can’t save content externally, only in the Cloud and on your QC

You can make a complete backup to you Mac, or PC with Cortex Control under Settings/Backups. If you don’t do this, I suspect the presets will disappear if the original user delete them.

That means download, move to QC folder then do backup.

That will take a day of labour.
