Skude,

If your HD goes down and you have a disk with the sys files and hidden files and all that came when the KB was new that will do, all the other files that you add like regs etc can be written to a stick, if the HD goes down you can just load everything back on via a USB cable, still a long process but you wont need to send it back to a dealer.

But how does it SOUND?

I've been accused by many of being brain dead for using the G70. It's too heavy, it has no MP3 player, no sampler, no multipads, no dual sequencers, no speakers, no SA or Mega Voices, no break/fills, no USB2, no pen drive input, no User Tone bank storage, no live loops, you name it....

But DAMN...! Set it up right, and it sounds fantastic!

I guess ignorance is bliss...

for backup DVD, they would need about 4 DVD's
i think we are talking over 13GB of data

Would a usb hard drive work?

Yep, but because they went to USB1 for the interface (and just how much per unit did that save them? ), reloading the entire HD will take a few hours or more. And the USB drive on a USB1 interface won't run fast enough for the live loop streaming to be able to use on the gig. USB2 would have solved this.

As to the reload being interrupted if done at home, that's WHY you have a UPS, isn't it?

Thats why I clone my drives for everything i own including the audya< if i had a drive crash it would take me the most 10 mnutes to be back up and running with m regs, midi files and mp3s

I guess I'm alittle anal

Depending of what media to use. Doubble layer would put that 13GB into 2 DVD's.

Anyway, at the pricelevel Audya is placed in Norway, a backup HD (or 5) for quick
swap should have been included in the box..... or maybe a spare Audya

GJ,

Two Audyas "double trouble" ones certainly enough for anyone, go anal like Frank, you all need to check to see if your local dealer has a full system backup in any format, if your are not going to make a backup yourself and your HDD goes down, your dealer doesn't have a backup you won't be gigging that weekend.

Regards

BTW you won't be able to get anyone here to zip it up and send it to you, that would be much too easy, good sounds need massive samples, big files, massive HDD space is the payload.

Our local dealer has only sold 8 Audyas and two have been reformatted and reloaded
