Producers everywhere...

[Sarah C]

 

If you have just started out producing and half way through a tune, and you don't already do this...

 

BACK UP ALL YOUR WORK AND TUNES!!

 

Its probably just me who doesnt do this much (I have done in the past but for some reason not this time)

 

One of mine I was working on, I just lost half the data and sounds... my computer fucked up... G U T T E D!

 

 

In the future... I wont be so dumb

[Lisa]

yeh this happened to Tony on one of first tunes & it was starting to sound fooking wicked to, them boom laptop blew up

 

He has got an external hard drive now & regularly backs everything up in there

[LiamStyles]

tut tut

 

Its all about the zip drives

[Lisa]

the what???????????????????????

 

zip is a fly on a trouser aint it

[LiamStyles]

Its like an external cd burner, when it saves the data it saves them in zip files so you can store alot more.

[Lisa]

hahah im so pc unknowlegable

[LiamStyles]

Its not just for pc's. All my studio stuff is hardware - i dont use the pc at all.

[Lisa]

hmmm as Is ay im pc illeterate Liam Best bet is to let Tony know all about it, as he is building & adding to his set up all the time, money etc permitting.

 

He is like a wee child bless, but its great to see him happy & doing what he loves etc.

[LiamStyles]

I miss it big time

Got myself an external Lacie hard disc for backing up my tunes, and also for archiving old DJ mixes that are taking up lots of disc space.

 

250 gig for £114 ... USB2 interface ... 7200rpm

Bargain!

 

With portable hard discs getting so affordable, I think Zip drives are going to become obsolete.

[Sarah C]

where abouts did u get that from?

 

Thats exactly what I need to invest in!!!

[Guest NeoN]

How about a re-writable cd or dvd if your posh

 

Cheep & backs things up
