Acoustica User Forums

First, let me say hello again to anyone who might remember me. It's been way too long since I've been on the forum. And way too long since I've made any music. I think close to a year. Time flies with 2 jobs, some health issues for both my wife and mys3lf (nothing serious) and my daughter's wedding!

Anyway, I'm getting a new computer. Actual a refurb - need to replace my home file server (where I have my movie files) since it won't run win10 and win 7 support ends in January

The i5 I'm getting is stronger than the computer I use for mixcraft, so I figure I'd use it and move my current computer to file server duty

The last time I switched computers I had problems recovering projects

So what's the right way of doing this? I see an option of saving the files in a zip file. Is that all there is too it?

Then when I unzip to a project folder it will just work? Sounds too easy.

Thanks in advance!

Bill

Hey welcome back Bill!
Not the greatest technophobe around, but when my comp finally died, I just robbed the hard drive, popped it into an external usb caddy and hooked it to the new comp. No probs!

Hi,

Yes, if you load up a project into Mixcraft, and select "Copy Project Files to..." from the File menu, it will find all the files you need for that project and allow you to put them into one folder or zip file.

Bill, how are you partner? Glad to see you back. I’ve moved around on several computers and found the easiest was to take the old computer hard drive and connect it to the new computer via usb cradle. Then I can access all the Mixcraft projects as they originally were created and decide which ones I wanted to move to the new computer drive. You can use the
Copy Project Files to put the project into the new computer drive. Gives you plenty of time to move files around, don’t have to do it all at once.

Not many in the market for a Wedding Car on these forums, I reckon.
