Is it possible to backup whole cubase SX 2-projects automatically - including ALL sounds/samples (eg. Battery-Drumsamples)? Or do I have to save the battery kits manually and burn them seperately on the same cd?
I want to burn my complete projects on CD to save them and it would be nice if I could just put the burned CD into the computer later (maybe also in a different computer) without having to search for lost samples.
How do you backup your cubase-projects?
Thanks in advance,
martyn

Thank you for your reply!
Hmmm... if I save a battery kit - won't it just save the PATHS to the files on my hd - and not the file itself? Then I would have to search them later, too - eg if I change my system or use a different computer.

Is this possible in FL5? To make a save file/folder with all the elements used in a project? |

No! When you save a kit with battery, it creates a new folder with new copies of the drum samples. The new folder is created wherever you save the kit file. Nice feature.

This is also the case for Kontakt multis - a very cool feature indeed.

fragletrollet: save it as a zip-file, like that u have all the elements necessary to open the project, except the plugins, they have to be installed on the system with witch u open the flp... But all the rest (samples, presets,...) is in the zip. just extract the zip and u have everything in one folder. |

Zipping audio isn't a good idea, since zip uses lossy compression. |

correct me if Im wrong... but zip does not use lossy compression! It will unzip into exactly the same state that it was in before you zipped it up. |

Yes, I think you might be right. I stand corrected  |

One trick that works with Sonar bundles is to use Monkey's Audio to compress the whole bundle.
I just add .wav at the end of the bundle name (or it gets refused by the encoder) and compress it. Then remove the .wav when I uncompress it. It gives me much smaller files than using zip or rar.
