I have a Mac Mini with a Thunderbolt Promise Raid of 32TB in RAID5 so I can lose a drive without loss. And that drive has an active backup to Backblaze Personal backup. Because only a drive onsite is not a backup. Because if something happens to your studio you still lose everything.
it would be so awesome but it’s so rare to have great musicians for parents! also there’s something beautiful in paving your own path as a musician when you don’t have a musical family
Aw that’s so awesome. There’s always others like friends. You’ll find them! I used to record w my young son. He’s an amazing guitarist. Unfortunately his mom took him away from me. Long story. Don’t ever get manipulated by your family/ parents ❤ and keep musicing. Maybe they will take it up from being inspired from you.
Loves these videos and talking about how important backups are. Don't forget the 3-2-1 rule! I personally love the Crucial X8 4TB SSDs. You can't beat $250 for 4TB with the same exact read and write speed as the G drives
As many years as I can remember I’ve always used the little 3 x 5 hard drives from various companies generally USB in nature some of them are solid state some of them actually have platters. After they get full I back them up to an old net drive that I had that became useless so I cracked it out of its shell and bought a hard drive toaster that is 5 TB and that is the studio back up
The alternative is that you have tubs of pictures, video tapes, 2” masters & CD’s (all of which I have). Go 10GB NAS, if your computer has a 10GB interface, it’s all but the same as local. RAID1 everything AND back-up to TWO places, a detachable disk and a cloud (or two).
A Recording Studio is a "Work in Progress", every studio setup I have ever had was revamped at least 4 to 5 times, adding new equipment, adjusting workflow and plain organization.
What is your system for file organization within your drives. You mentioned that you have a meticulous system that is categorized by month/yr for your projects. I would love to see a video that dives deeper into that practical side of file management! Love your videos, super informative and helpful!
As far as storage, I keep the studio data on a separate computer from my personal data. My studio computer has 4 hard drives - 1 Operating System, 2 Finished Project Archives Backups, 3 Current Projects backups and 4 Current Projects. I also have small bins for the storage of paperwork, timesheets, and a USB with a current backup of the project for all my clients. Ya, storage and backup become an obsession, seeing hundreds of hours of studio time being lost because of not backing up is extremely frustrating and humiliating. Better safe than sorry!
Nice video ! Few things to remember about backups is to never trust backups, always always testing that you can read that said backup... Another thing, at the very least you need a copy home and a copy somewhere else's, then you rotate them. In my system, I have a "live" copy on a NAS, 2 USB drives that are holding a copy of the NAS, 1 attached to the NAS, 1 offline. A note about the RAID, RAID is NOT a backup system, this is a failover system.
The studio I work at records and archives on bigger Glyph options but in my personal space I’ve been using a mix of WD Blue drives for working on mixes and doing smaller overdrive sessions and a Sandisk Extreme SSD as my remote/working drive. The video work I do is extremely minimal to none so I haven’t needed larger than 1 tb for my working drive and that is one killer little SSD especially given it’s price. My archives have just been on Sandisk HDD’s but I’m very overdue on upping my storage and archival game
I remember I bought my first solid state drive Samsung 480gb for a little over $420 in 2011. So yes 4tb for that price on solid state is worth it with a good brand. I myself am almost out of room on a western digital 15TB and ready to go back to using hard disk drives with a 2 to 4 bay config for just storage. I also use a Samsung X5 500gb for recording audio since they are 40gbps and then I back that up to the western digital. Yes video files are the big ones and I also do graphic design and that can get a bit hefty. I also have tons of movies I have downloaded over the years and use the flex service for watching movies. Fun times. I do really like the idea of a raid system for the extra backup. The whole hard drive crapping out thing makes me nervous.
Awesome vid. I have a Hackintosh system with 4 SSD's and 2 Seagate hard drives + I occasionally back my data up to a 6TB external hard drive with a Seagate drive in there as well. Some other stuff is stored in Onedrive. Pretty reliable backup solution for me so far
Well, since I'm really just doing my own music right now and I'm on a budget, I just use a large Seagate for Time Machine and a rugged storejet for my music files and library.
I use a Samsung T7 Shield. I love it. It's also my boot drive. That raid system is cool. But $1200 could get more sounds that are more important than saving finished projects long term for me
I use a 2 TB Sandisk Extreme Pro as a working drive for Protools sessions. I have a Synology drive set up in a RAID 5 config backing up to a cloud server.
I also do video and audio work. I use a QNAP NAS with 5 disk drives and 4 SSDs in a raid5... I think I end up with 40TB of really fast storage. Crazy stuff.
I can completely understand! I also just picked up the RAID glyph system in January. It works great, transfers quickly and consolidates everything into one system.
FWIW USB 3.1 gen 2 is not thunderbolt. It's much slower. But so are the drives. I use SSDs for short term backup and hard drives for large term storage/backup. I don't use RAID, I use a OWC dock and drop in two drives for various time periods. One is the primary backup and the other is the backup for that. It's like using mirrored raid, but not at the expense. I basically back it up separately with rsync. I usually use Hitatch 3.5" 7200rpm 4tb drives for my backup systems. Currently using 2tb SSDs in portable TB3 enclosures for short term backup (sync nightly or whenever I complete a big chunk of work). I do not buy SSDs that I can't open and replace the SSD in or put my SSD of choice in. "Building" saves money and time when there's a failure. I can just order the part. If I use a sealed SSD, I have to replace the entire thing, which is more expensive.
I started recording just about a year ago and I’m doing everything off of my 256GB iMac, only have about 40GB of space left so I think im going to invest in the LaCie 5 TB external drive, it’s only 200-250 € and I think that’s going to last me a while, I think I’m going to put all the sound libraries, plugins and projects I’m working on on there, and then have the applications and finished projects on my mac (maybe getting like a smaller 1tb drive for finished projects is a good idea for me too)
Andrew, this is a great video! I lost so much data, a decades worth of music, and I know the pain and depression that comes with. I had to take a couple of years out after that one. A question, have you thought about partnering up with access analog and renting your gear out over the cloud/having robotics installed into it for recall and to facilitate that? Just a thought. Cheers
Well I think this is just an awesome video - it’s a PSA for artists. I own a post production co in San Francisco and one of my first discussions with new editors/Assistants is “there are two kinds of hard drives in the world. One that has died and one that is going to die”. You lost yours so maybe that is a 2alt. Backing up is everything. Thanks for the video.
Have you considered putting together your own nas? It’s not too hard and there’s tons of help online for both the hardware side and software for after it’s built. You could easily get something going that is higher quality than anything sweetwater could sell you, but for a considerable fraction of the price. Especially if you find a good deal on drives. Grab yourself a silver stone ds380b. It is a small form factor itx case that would look right at home in your studio and it has space for 8 x 3.5” external hdds or can be configured for 16 ssds, and another 4 ssds on the inside for boot and cache drives. Get yourself an itx board with either enough ports and a 10gbit nic, or a board with 10gbit built in, and buy a card with enough ports for your drives. If you want to keep thunderbolt with Mac or other music gear, then they make quite a few itx boards with tb4 built in.
Currently, my active work drive is the Sandisk 1TB extreme portable SSD. Then I have a 5TB HDD from LaCie which is a mix of archive and a copy of what’s in my work drive. And finally I have another 1TB SSD g drive as my computer backup running constantly… anything I should add in??
Love every video you put out! I use the LaCie rugged hard drive just because I saw some famous producer using it one time lol. it works amazing for general storage and sample libraries!
I personally don't see any practical value in drives getting daily use being over 500GB max. When the SHTF and a drive starts acting up, multiple smaller drives make for a much more manageable process with less risk. Every volume I own has at least two physical backup drives (which are larger long-term storage). Some things are also saved to multiple cloud storage options. The amount of time and risk involved in juggling anything over that at a time just doesn't make sense to me.
What is cool about this drive system is that although it is 40TB, you can choose to have it act as a 20TB system that mirrors data between drives; if one drive fails, the other one saves the day. Andrew is using it this way as you can see in the later part of the video.
@@arianamastersofficial RAID systems are great for sure. I just personally would not choose to juggle 20TB of data in one place. I don't think most people can actually grasp how much data that is.
To be 100% safe I upload the project files to multiple cloud storage’s, they’re really small anyway. Later, even if you lose everything from a hard drive you can still redownload your software and plugins etc.
Dude I feel you... I had my computer stolen during a move from NC to TN. It had all the recordings I ever made of both my mentor in music Nathan Davis and my high school band. Nathan died in 2006, and I always planned and remixing that stuff I did of his... but now I never can. Same goes for my high school band, which my co-frontman Blake Tippet also passed away about 4-5 years ago. So all of those recordings are gone too. It's tragic and hard to wrestle with. All you can do is learn from it and prevent it in the future.
Glyph Drives over here, used G-drives for a while but heard from other engineers that they had issues with them, sure they are just as reliable as Glyph but when it comes to data storage even a whiff of a problem is enough to scare me away from a brand, I know engineers using the same Glyph hard drives for 15 years actively without issue, that's enough to win me over. I have a working drive that get's cloned every couple of days to another drive, then when the project is finished it get's archived on a NAS. When the clone drive gets filled up it gets put on a shelf and a new clone drive is purchased. I probably have roughly 25TB of data now after 6 years of engineering, this is not including duplicate drives lol. Oh and ALL of the final exports go on dropbox, Almost 4TB's there of final exports.
Glyph and Seagate for me too. You did not mention how you do disaster recovery (off site in case of fire/theft). I use a professional encrypted offsite storage as well with multiple file versioning for file rescue.
As a digital librarian, I have to triplicate everything for my institution. Hard drive, cloud, computer (or 2nd external). Use 3 discrete locations minimum if its super important to you. :)
Cheers for spreading the good word Andrew Masters, and I can vouch for those G Drives, been using those for a couple years now, also use the Samsung SSD drives
Curious...Thought about a cloud service? My current challenge is how to organize my projects. I want to back them up and I feel like I need to back them up every time I go to work on a mix. I would love to see how you work through a mix with file management.
You speak my language…I can’t wait to get a raid! Making due with these simple 1tbs lol. Great video explaining something near and dear to my (and every other creative) heart.
Built a TrueNAS system out of an old gaming PC (also doubles as a Plex server). Have certain critical data also mirrored to Google Drive. Also considering an off-site drive at either my moms or sister's place.
I dropped a hard drive and lost everything in a similar situation. Everything now gets a hard drive back up an a dvd backup. I plan on moving to blue ray backups.
Geez these 40 tb already sold out. If I order any of the other will you still get the support? Also just curious what type of cpu are you running I’m currently trying to upgrade especially now with all these silicon apple hype maybe a studio Mac
I know the feeling brother. More space! More hard drives. do everything on one. Copy it on a few others then send the copy to friends to archive it for you. Keep it in more than 1 location. And remember your client will keep their own work. another archive.
I literally just lot a 1tb external. I've had a few go corrupt over the years, but always able to recover them. Not this one. Tons of music on it, still mourning.
..complaining about 100GB drives. Jeez (jk). Some of us have 40MB SCSI drives and ZIP and JAZZ and 5 1/4" drives for old samplers. Seriously though many of us have stacks of old SCSI and IDE mechanical drives... backed up but still keep them in boxes. I remember the days of composing in Cubase and running out of space on 1GB 10k rpm drives and defragmenting like every day. And we used to have to try to setup old school SCSI raid it was a PITA. And then the damn drives were all mechanical and would break all the time. Lol.
@@AndrewMasters Looking at the specs for the Glyph, since it only holds 2 HDDs it CANNOT do RAID5. RAID5 needs a minimum of 3 disks, since one entire disk is usable.
How are you managing your data?
I have about half a petabyte here and have it split amongst Synology NAS, Areca Thunberbolt RAID, TrueNAS and UNRaid. Storage is a thing :)
I throw it all on my desktop and then make a folder titled 'month/year desktop' and dump it all in. Inception files. It's very efficient.
Synology NAS
I have a Mac Mini with a Thunderbolt Promise Raid of 32TB in RAID5 so I can lose a drive without loss. And that drive has an active backup to Backblaze Personal backup. Because only a drive onsite is not a backup. Because if something happens to your studio you still lose everything.
Not very well. Thanks for the help!
As a 15 yo whos been recording for 6 years, i wish I had a dad like your son has
it would be so awesome but it’s so rare to have great musicians for parents! also there’s something beautiful in paving your own path as a musician when you don’t have a musical family
Im from a family of Non musicians, WE gotta pave the way!! Keep going as long as you love it, that’s what matters
Just think how lucky your child will be :)
Count yourself lucky that you were able to get into it at age 9, a very small % of people are in that boat
Aw that’s so awesome. There’s always others like friends. You’ll find them! I used to record w my young son. He’s an amazing guitarist. Unfortunately his mom took him away from me. Long story. Don’t ever get manipulated by your family/ parents ❤ and keep musicing. Maybe they will take it up from being inspired from you.
Finally setup a Synology NAS about a month ago for archiving music and video projects and it's been awesome.
Same here, it makes things so convenient to have everything in one place & accessible from any network device 👍👍

In 2000 I bought my first firewire hard drive, 80 GB for 500.00 buck...
Send it back. Get a raid 5 system.
@@AndrewMasters Looking at the specs for the Glyph, since it only holds 2 HDDs it CANNOT do RAID5. RAID5 needs a minimum of 3 disks, since one entire disk is usable.
you could have built a unraid server with more than 20tbs for that money!
Seagate is great I have a 2TB drive that might've only ran $60 out of my pocket.
Way out of control!
Please read up on raid 5.
Ask Linus Sebastian to build you a nass
Actually 39 or 38tb bcoz Storage Math 😂
No man : NAS storage is the way. You're putting yourself so much at risk of loosing a file... I'm baffled. Who gave you that "advice" ??
Ya shoulda hit up LTT for proper storage zen. 40TB seems like a lot, however.... :D GL y'all!
First!! ❤️
Thank you
Go to the point dude ! I’m waisting my time
it's a story.. the story is the point..
I like the channel but your clickbait video titles are what's getting out of hand
Best way to stop them is to not click on them.
You should get a network attached storage. With at least 5 bays. Them grow from there.
Why didn’t you go with the mutli ssd bay?
Cost would be so much higher for less storage so I can just park projects that I don’t need access to.
