Moving LOR/sequences

[jeff bush]

I want to designate a computer for LOR and get it and my sequences moved over.
Anyone have a easy way to do that?

Thanks

Email yourself each sequence then pull up on other computer

OR

Download to an external hard drive then hook up to new computer

OR

Get a big flash drive (8 GB or so)

OR

Burn to disc

OR

Online cloud service

I think I'm spent...

Oooh. BlueTooth!!!

Whoa, ok thanks for the ideas. The flash drive sounds the like a good deal.

Thanks

Definitely a flash drive for me. Not only can you put all sequences and audio in a single folder (named something like "2011 Show") and copy just the single folder between PC's, it makes a great back up device for those unplanned emergencies.

If they are both on your home network you can try this:

On you new machine share the LOR folder in your Documents folder.

On BOTH the old and the new machine map the same drive letter to the shared folder (I chose S: for sequences)

copy your sequences from the old computer to the new drive.

You can use "write" to edit your sequence and show files to change c:users...DocumentsLightORama... to
s:...

you can also do this last step with the LOR software but it takes longer.

Once you do that you have a computer that runs your show off the local hard drive and you can still use your original computer for sequencing, remembering to load sequences from the mapped drive (S:Sequences in my case) LOR history will eventually remember you.

I went one step further and used the windows task scheduler to copy the files from the master machine (the one with the mapped drive) to a backup folder on the other.

I also setup remote desktop so I could remotely control the "show machine" from indoors Worked like a charm.
