This is a mirror copy of the portable drive and can be used to set up another portable drive if my current one ever gives up on me.

I immediately back up this drive to my main PC C drive in a folder called KEEP. Hopefully, by doing this, it will continue to be a reliable transportation medium for some time to come. The portable drive is never left attached to any PC for any length of time and sees very little active time.

This is the drive I use to update my working PC’s, the ones used to do the actual gigging. SyncbackProĪs soon as I have the music prepared for use at gigs I transfer all these files onto my portable gig drive in their relevant sub-folders using SyncbackPro. If you use a computer, whatever brand or format is your preference, and have a single copy of your database then you are flirting with disaster. This phrase transd=fers perfectly to the DJ world. If the basket is lost or broken, then so are your contents. It is extremely important not to ‘put all your eggs in one basket’. This helps me to identify any tracks in my collection which have not been tagged so far. Next, I re-tag all the tracks, using Mp3tag, so they are all identified with the Platinum Notes suffix. Speech is another matter and would need to be investigated further. I find it works perfectly well at the default settings, at least for music.

This is a pretty complicated piece of software allowing users to select individual settings. Second, I balance the volume levels, repair clipped peaks (there are often thousands in a single track), correct the pitch and add warmth to each and every track. During their stay in this folder, I carry out a few tasks to make my life easier. After purchasing and downloading the files to my download folder I move the files to a ‘working’ folder. There are many of these guys around, some specialising in a specific music genre, so I am sure you all have your favourites.
I start off by buying my music online from my preferred online music retailer. At least I can fall back on this if I ever have a total failure! How I obtain, store, and back up my music collection. This is great except that if I was to lose my complete collection, somewhere near 75,000 tracks, it would take forever to download them all, audio analyse and correct them before I can get back on the road to earn my living. The online retailer keeps a record of all my purchases which makes it easy for me to get a new copy of anything I lose or get corrupted etc. What do I do to ensure Data Security?Īs I previously said, I buy my music online. Hopefully, my insights will help you all with your own data security issues. Protecting equipment will be covered in a later post. I will cover most aspects of protecting music collections and equipment but will start by making sure my music is always secure. I really can’t believe I was so ‘stupid’ to not take proper care of my most important business asset. Nowadays, I buy my music online so, at least I can re-download all my previous purchases. I already owned a physical TONNE of vinyl and CD’s so I had to start to ripping all over again. Data security was low on my list of priorities but after this disaster, I now take it very seriously. Initially, having no back-up, I managed to lose a sizable part of my music so I had to start again. Having been digital DJ’ing now since 1998, using vinyl and CD’s for many years before that, I have made all the mistakes with my music collection.
