That's another one for perfectly timed video topics, sheesh. I just switched from my Mac to a beefy PC with the help of your previous videos, and from Logic back to Fl Studio in the process. Was an intimidating jump, but the upgrade options were a big deal for me as well. Now I need to manage my storage organization and there's you coming out with a video on that, thank you. For some mf reason the store I got the PC from only had pre installed Windows 11.. like damn slow down, it's hardly released yet and is a free update from Windows 10 for anyone who wants to 👁️👄👁️

Nice setup. I've watched a good number of different DAW rigs and which computer components are used but, I have not heard anyone mention so far, that they use a battery backup. I would think that would be one of the essential pieces of gear that would be mentioned. Newer UPSs are even better than before offering pure sinewave output while on battery power and also offer voltage regulation to some extent. All of which extends the life of your electronics, not to mention your sanity.

Just to let you know SSDs are NOT for designed for long time archival storage. Spinning drives are better for that. SSDs can lose data if disconnected from power for a long period of time. You would be better to store sessions on external spinners and SSDs for your sound libraries. I recommend Amazon S3 for cloud storage. You just pay for the space that you use.
@thunderstein5041 Жыл бұрын
when you have proper cooling and you are a full time musician, SSDs do their job better than a HDDs in Terms of long-term usage, but i would agree that you should have an HDD as an extra backup and easier recovery process. Not really sure if Cloud storage is the way to go. Seems kinda unsafe but maybe you can educate me on that one. Seems like a good Idea.
@TonyThomas10000 Жыл бұрын
@@thunderstein5041 SSDs have a finite life....usually measured in TBW (terabytes written). When they fail, they cannot be recovered. It is best to store archival stuff on HDDs that are offline and then access them every year or two and rewrite the contents. Cloud storage is the safest option for critical files.
@thunderstein5041 Жыл бұрын
@@TonyThomas10000 HDDs have also finite life, so i don´t know how your argument would work. as an example: 1 SSD with 1TB storage space(from Samsung for example) with 3,000 write cycles can have a warranty up to 10 years, under heavy usage maybe 8 but until a SSD loses storage cells (which an SSD can replace itself with the reserve capacities which SSDs can have onboard) you are probably going to replace your hardware after 10 years, at least as an full-time Studio Musician. SDDs are fairly new but Technology moves fast and so does Optimization Software. Even if you don´t replace it, with proper care, which should be done for both types, you will be in good hands. I´m not saying, have your backups only on SSDs. Keep at least 1 or 2 external HDDs as Backup storage but SDDs can definitely carry their own weight. Also, you can ABSOLUTELY Recover Data from failed SSDs. How is cloud storage THE safest?

@AndreasMSchroeder2 жыл бұрын
If your libraries are mainly one-shots like kicks, snares etc. it doesn't make a huge difference. However, if you use lots of large Kontakt instruments like orchestral samples, I'd recommend SSDs, as it will not only reduce your load times, but the ability to do disk streaming means that you can run more tracks in parallel without running into RAM limitations as early. This is because you don't have to load the entire sample into memory, but only the beginning, with the SSD being fast enough to load the rest of the required sample "on the fly". Really makes a huge difference for large multisampled libraries.

Hey that's great for you. I don't understand how this is relevant, but great for you. I too could sit here and talk about how I have a server grade machine, with a dual socket CPU, tons and tons of cores, Terabytes of RAM, and Petabytes of storage in a RAID array, etc... but that doesn't help anyone. How about instead of trying to flex, you provide a recommended upgrade instead, and a reason for that upgrade. In this instance, his computer is purpose built and has the ability to be upgraded later on. Why would he need to spend more on it if he has no use for it at this time? Hell, the only thing I would recommend is a NAS for local archiving of finished projects.
