Another backup thread

[gharbud]

Does anybody take cd players as backup anymore? My setup is all digital using another laptop as backup, Have never been asked to play anything from a cd so hope it stays that way

I use a Numark CD mix1 as my digital playout mixer and always have one of the decks loaded ready as instant playback if my computer fails. I then have a small mixer plugged in ready for back up and a spare amp and computer in the van. The only thing that I don't have back up for are my Peavey Pro 15's but guess that they hopefully won't blow together. i do not drive them hard at all.

I'm so tempted to dive in with an absolutely flippant reply concerning the dialogue I've had with a Scottish Gentleman on this very matter, but much as I love a good running gag, I think that one's not got legs anymore.

So, the serious reply: I went for the win-win solution. A Numark DDS drive unit in my radio mic/soundcard case. It actually works better with a Cortex than the Numark D2, and should work even better with a laptop. Functions as a hard drive ( fit any size you like, as long as it's EIDE ) and reads anything you can insert into the DVD slot. One USB connection, acts as a hub for memory sticks as well. Simples.

I still have cd players in a flight case that are loaded with CDs just in case!! We are all digital but I always like to have as many back ups as possible for my own piece of mind.

I only use cd's. My present main rig uses Numark CDN88 andmy back up rig uses ...yes...Numark CDN 88. I also have a CDN 95 at home which I will be putting in my main rig this week to replace the 88, not that it is faulty though.
