The profile runs daily (täglich), and it repeats every day (Wiederholung). SyncBack’s interface language can’t be changed, so, if you don’t speak German, here are a few translations: Getting it right took me some looking around in the SyncBack forums, so the following screen shot might be helpful. The schedule (Zeitplan) needs to be set only for the group profile that all the other profiles belong to. No deletions are performed the profile just overwrites files on the target device (the NAS), and adds whatever is new.Ĭonfiguring profiles in SyncBack is as easy as setting the source (Quelle) and the target (Ziel) for every profile, like this: The “DAW Full Backup No Target Deletes” collects all the various presets and settings and copies them to the BACKUP-PROGRAM-SETTINGS folder, then copies all of E: to the NAS. Configuring profiles in SyncBack takes some time, but that’s a one-off. Backupsīacking up is obviously essential, and it must be automatic or else I wouldn’t do it (or at least I wouldn’t do it regularly). I back up these things locally (under E:\Z-Software\BACKUP-PROGRAM-SETTINGS\), and so they get backed up on my NAS along with everything else. So what I do is back up those presets and settings using SyncBack, a backup tool with a scheduler. Or Cubase stores its setting in %appdata%. For example, my instance of VIP 3.1 stores its multis in the user’s Documents folder on C:, and there seems to be no way to change that. Unfortunately, some programs and VST plugins store their presets etc. Z-Zoom - WAV and MP3 recorded with my Zoom H1 Z-Videos - Links to online videos (Elphnt, Slynk, etc.) Z-Soundtap - Soundtap output (computer audio recorder) Z-Software - Information and settings for musical software Z-Screencasts - Videos produced with Screencast-O-Matic Z-Score - Score, mostly produced with MuseScore (.mscz) Z-Background - Icons, pictures, photos, articles, etc. VST Plugins - I try to store all VST plugins here asd output from LiveĪbleton Packs Installed - Live packs in use within LiveĪbleton User Library - Live's User Library folderĬubase Project Archive - Old Cubase projectsĬubase Projects - Current Cubase projectsĬubase Templates - Cubase templates (.cpr)Ĭubase Track Archive - Cubase track archiveĭAW LandR - MP3 output rendered with LandRĭAW Midi - MID files from Cubase, Live, MuseScoreĭAW Samples - WAV samples (mostly 3rd-party)ĭAW Snippets - WAV samples (created by me) 2TD MP3 - MP3 output from Live, Cubase, LandRĢTD Releases - Mastered MP3 output/SoundcloudĪbleton Output - WAV and. All content is on a separate disk (E:) as far as this is possible (unfortunately, some VST plugins leave no choice but install on C:). Here’s the directory structure (Windows 10) I use. I also use VIP by Akai which is a plugin and standalone program, too. To make things a tad more complex, I’m also using Groove Agent and Halion which are VST plugins for Cubase, but they’re also standalone programs, which allows for organizing instruments just for those plugins/programs (less distraction compared to doing this within Cubase). Here’s an attempt to list the various ways of organizing content in Ableton Live and Steinberg Cubase, and across the two programs.
