| + | ===== Future-Proofing Your Studio ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Any application that you use in your studio deserves to be backed-up; this is, after all, a core strength of open source: the fact that you, yourself, as the user, own the very code for the tools that you use. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are several free code hosting sites and several cloud-storage services, and hard drives are cheap. Do yourself a favour and download a copy of the code for the applications that you use. The SlackBuild system, as you have seen, makes this simple; after you install an application, put a copy of the source on a backup drive. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The same goes for assets involved in your project, like sound samples, synth banks, clip art, and other resources that enable you to go back to your work and deconstruct it or re-create it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The broadest workflow of most art in the computer age can be summarised with this: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Discover | ||
| + | - Test | ||
| + | - Create | ||
| + | - Backup | ||
| + | |||
| + | That is: find tools that inspire you, test them out and see what they can do for you, create great art, backup your art and your tools. It's the little-known secret to a long and happy artistic life, free of deprecated tools and broken projects. | ||
