Copying Macros to other machines

It is very easy to transfer your collection of macros to another machine. This transfers the whole list and overwrites the existing macros of the machine you are copying them to.

The macro file is named “GsEditMacros” and can be found in the Tascam program files folder, typically c:\Program files\Tascam\GigaStudio 4

To copy your collection of macros to another machine, just copy this file from here and put it in the same folder on the other machine to replace the one that is there. The next time you open the GigaStudio Editor on the new machine, these macros will be waiting for you there.
