I guess I should implement it and see if it is actually realistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4040112777996013749.post-32981753159816163142009-01-21T13:03:00.000-08:002009-01-21T13:03:00.000-08:00Yeah, good backup practices are something every el...Yeah, good backup practices are something every electronic musician knows they need to do, but it seems as if most don't really start doing it until they've had some sort of disaster. hahaTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737887998205375368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4040112777996013749.post-50579599123747510122009-01-21T11:04:00.000-08:002009-01-21T11:04:00.000-08:00This is one reason why I chose Sonar.

Sonar has a project 'wrapper' that puts it *all* (even backtracking if you specify) into one nice file kinda like a zip. This makes backing things up very very nice. The only downfall is that its Sonar specific, but personally I doubt I'd move from it.<BR/><BR/>Naturally this does'nt work with stuff I've done in the distant past so yes I highly agree with coming up with a naming system. I still have banks and banks of saved parameters of junk I thought I'd want later, but of course theres stuff I wish I had that I don't.<BR/><BR/>I would like to also add that backing up in general will be the first realization of process in computer related music. If your hard drive goes, then GG. I've never had it happen, but I could imagine the agony of it did and have heard horror stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4040112777996013749.post-23492060561840256332009-01-21T11:03:00.000-08:002009-01-21T11:03:00.000-08:00I'm actually always surprised when I hear from peo...I'm actually always surprised when I hear from people who don't record every drum sound separately anyway! Maybe I'm a control freak, but I can't imagine getting good mixes any other way...Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737887998205375368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4040112777996013749.post-14358358374990918822009-01-21T06:53:00.000-08:002009-01-21T06:53:00.000-08:00Bounce your drum sampler to separate tracks (at a ...Bounce your drum sampler to separate tracks (at a minimum, do kick, snare, hat, and everything else).<BR/><BR/>Inevitably you will change or upgrade your drum sampler and the old version either won't work right or will get uninstalled.<BR/><BR/>This single thing has bitten me more than any other element throughout the last few years.<BR/><BR/>As usual, great stuff.Anuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10681387485517846478noreply@blogger.com
