![]() ![]() actually those discs are DVD+R DL Memorex branded media that are Ritek D01.ĮMagic stopped further development of WAveBurner Pro 2.2.1, like adding & fixing ISRC functionality, when they were negotiating with Apple.Īpple's version was broken for a couple years, until they fixed most of the issues w V.1.6.1, except for broken DDP export, then they killed it. The only negative is that it is linear access as opposed to non-linear access that you get with hard disk, so you don't want to be regularly trying to extract things off of them.I suppose we'll eventually move to this:ĭNA could store all of the world's data in one room | Science | AAAS Very robust storage medium too (much better than DVD-R). However, as they always say, you can never have too many backups, and LTO is a very attractive option. The probability of them both going south is nil. I've got my main 8TB NAS unit backed up (mirrored) to an identical 8TB NAS unit that normally stays off. Occasionally see some LTO-4 system going for an attractive price and have considered picking one up as a backup to the backup. One option for long-term storage is LTO (linear tape open). Don't know what a good estimate is for DVD-R medium. Shelf life of good quality CD-R media supposedly will go for decades and decades, so they should last awhile when properly stored. We store our disc archives in climate controlled conditions, on top quality media. I think the actual burner is a Pioneer in a LaCie branded box.Īnd there were NO failed discs, which is good news. The burner that created them, Plextor 716, had a struggle reading those discs, as it was cutting edge technology at the time.īut the LaCie BD-R D2 burner had no trouble at all, technology from a few years later, reading or copying the discs to HDD. So I've gone back and copied those discs to hard drive, Seagate 2TB HDDs. It was new technology at the time, but doubling the capacity to 8+GB was worth the risk, as it was a very time consuming activity. So I found myself with a flexible day this week and decided to work on our archives from 2005 & 2006 which mostly live on Dual Layer DVD-R DL! When you're storing petabytes of information like they regularly do, the BER makes a difference!and to make a long story even longer. #WAVEBURNER 2017 SERIES#They've found the Sun T10000 series of digital linear tape to be the most error-free storage medium, by several orders of magnitude in comparison to other ways. Library of Congress probably has the best information on data storage technology. The only negative to AZO dye is sensitivity to UV because of the blue color, so you definitely want to keep them stored properly. The blue dye apparently produces a sharper, stronger, image on playback, and I've always had much better luck playing back Verbatim AZO CD-Rs in a variety of playback transports than those made from cyanine and pthalocyanine dye. ![]() Over the years, my own experience with CD-R was that the green cyanine dye media wasn't as reliable on playback as the blue azo dye media. Other GSers probably don't realize that he was -the- goto guy for CD-R related info back in the day (maybe still is today). ![]() Interesting to see the Azo dye recommendation from Glenn. DAT - there's no disputing what they are all about! I always thought they were an accident waiting to happen, and avoided them. They undoubtedbly have improved the technology since the early experience over a M-Works. #WAVEBURNER 2017 MAC#Thanks for the report on "newer" Mac OS, maybe this is the year to leap. Yes(!) I'm loving these discussions we're having in these few threads, just like old times on GS. Most of our Macs (&PCs) in the building are connected via Ethernet and /or Wifi for various reasons. My 2 studio Macs are both connected to the net for uploading and downloading, the new norm.Ī separate old school Dell for running Plextools. ThorAgreed Thor, about having various Macs around the studio for various tasks! :~)> But that doesn't mean sB shouldn't work better with the plugins that are out there. There are projects that do just fine with a bit of EQ and a touch of compression or limiting to really stand out. On the other hand, just looking at it from a practical and sonic POV, you really don't want to be putting a whole lot of plugins on a master to begin with. I agree with you in principle that sB should support all plugins without complaining, it should just work. And a third for general computing, internet, email, etc. Many of the old school guys (and gals) are actually using two, one to pitch and one to catch. Upgraded to El Capitan last month, everything still works pretty much as expected.Īnd yes, you should be running a separate computer just for mastering. We upgraded to Mavericks a year or two ago, didn't change a thing as far as sB goes. ![]()
