How much changes on your computer between backups that you even move a gig? If it's incremental, it only copies what has changed, right? I stopped running those when I started storing my data on separate drives, though I guess in a sense I DO back it up because after each session I copy F: to G: and the 2 are mirrors. As little as I go up there anymore, it's a small matter to do it manually that way.

I have really gotten lazy about music over the last year or so.

My new hobby of drone video footage. 4K HD Video runs about 1 Gig per 1 minute.

That's the main reason I'm full on the 1 TB backup now.

Raw footage on this one was 10 Gig.... ...which was about the complete hard drive space on the 1999 PC I used to have.

So I guess you could say your new hobby drones on and on?

I'd love to have a creative spurt again and write some songs. My life right now is pretty much consumed by trying to get this house ready to sell. I finally got the living room laminate flooring installed (to match the kitchen). In fact he finished that today. Now to start hard and fast thinking about the nightmare that is my bathroom which I hope do do just after the 1st of the year. I can do a lot of the prep during the time between Thanksgiving and New Years to keep my mind off how much I hate the holidays. Then to go into major debt to finish the RV and off I go, on a tour of PG Music forum member's driveways!!!

That is WAY cool. Does it take long to learn how to fly one of those? If you let it fly out of range does it just fall out of the sky? Does it record that video or send it back to your phone? Seems like adding any kind of storage would weight it down so I'm guessing you record it back at home base? Though I have never even seen one up close so I could be wrong by 180 degrees or so. I looked at a few of these things you have posted and they look really good.

--Does it take long to learn how to fly one of those?

Older models 3+ years ago, yes. Those would not hover in place, you had to continuously hold the sticks. Today's drones just start up, take off and hover until you grab the controls. Let go of the controls, the drone returns to hover. Lots of collision avoidance sensors too.

--If you let it fly out of range does it just fall out of the sky?

All the long course stuff I do like over the river is programmed by a Google Maps-like interface (Beginning of that video). Once you do your course design on the map, you download it to your phone and when the drone starts, it downloads the map to itself. If you lose range from controller to drone, it doesn't matter. The drone knows the rest of the route. Of course you program it wrong it can drop when it runs out of juice when you can't find it. smile

Also, if you are flying manually and it flies out of range of your controller, it will RTH (Return to Home) automatically.

--Does it record that video or send it back to your phone?

BOTH! Records it to a microSD card on the drone, no weight. My card is 64 Gig. That's the 4K video. It also records a lower quality video to the microSD that it simultaneously transmits to your phone screen.

Spring, with any luck. Just finished the living room. Now on to the bathroom and then I can list.

I'll hit your driveway at some point! Of course, you'll see me coming via the drone....

That is way cool Steve. YT is just amazing isn't it? I happened onto a guy who lives aboard a 50 foot sailboat in the Caribbean and he's posted a whole bunch of drone vids. Breathtaking. Oh, that was his girlfriend, the boat was nice too...

Yet another use for drones was him navigating passages through nasty reefs into a small anchorage. She would pilot the drone about 50 feet above the boat looking down and you can easily see the very dangerous coral heads right next to the boat. With the drone he's looking at an iPad and driving right through middle of those as if the water had painted lines like a parking lot. Good stuff.

That's cool Bob.... I haven't invested in an iPad with the drone. The larger screen would be nice though. Just using the Samsung cell phone for video while piloting.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
