Back up all your working files. Then back up the backups. Then... Most Definitely!
I have Cubase set to automatically back up every 5 minutes and I have my system set up to automatically backup up the HD where the music files go every 24 hours.
While Cubase is great about letting you do "infinite" undo's, you still need the main files. |

If you're going to go with stephent28's setup, you're gonna need a larger gear bag… ;)
I looked at the H4 and H4N last year and decided not to decide, I have read raves about them, but it seems to me that the interface must be very complex, just because there is so much functionality stuffed into that tiny little box.
Dark Bar metioned the R16 which is larger (though weighs nothing.) I looked at those too, that would be nice for a group (or OFC gathering,) you can record 8 separate simultaneous tracks (16 total) It has two built-in mics that are supposedly of similar quality to the H4N. I like the fact that the mixer-style layout is simple and straightforward, it resembles my old Tascam Portastudio 4-track cassette recorder, (which is just a little outdated now…) ;) It comes with "Cubase LE 4." I have no idea how the "light" (LE) version compares to the full version, there's probably an upgrade path?
Currently I'm intrigued by the Boss BR-800 which should be available soon. It looks (on paper) to be great for one person for composing and layering tracks (although you CAN record 4 tracks simultaneously, 8 total.)
This Guy makes using it look way easier than it probably is in reality. Here's Part 2…
It has LOTS of bells and whistles, which I suppose also increases the learning curve…
Meanwhile, did you ever resolve your microphone problem which started this thread? |
