<p class="MsoNormal">I am not sure I can help much, but I am familiar with the issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In MN9A we have 20 recording booths. They record stuff to, and store stuff on the cloud. We had to get a 1 gig line, so we had adequate bandwidth, and responsiveness.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We do not use Hindenburg for our basic recording. We use a program we wrote, and are in the process of writing its replacement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hindenburg was designed as a stand-alone workstation product. It can’t be run from a network, but writing to a network should be ok. We don’t use it that way, we use it at the end of our process to prepare books for BARD, but everything
is done locally. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would think you should be able to get your system to work, but you ma6y need to improve the performance of its parts, server, connection, bandwidth, and your network itself. This is pretty detailed and messy IT stuff, and there is no
guarantee, but it should be possible, I think.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">I am hoping for some feedback about some challenges we are facing in our studio in regards to storage of Hindenburg files both short term and long term. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">We use Hindenburg for the entirety of our process: recording, editing, markup and exporting the dtb. We have 4 recording booths and all of our in process books are located on
a server. We access this server for all of the work we do. None of our files are stored locally on any computer. That way all staff and volunteers have access to the files from whichever station they are working from. We also store all of our completed projects
on this server. It's a system that has been in place for many years even before we started using Hindenburg. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">Our current server is nearing retirement, and we are exploring storage options. This includes finding new storage for archival files and other material. But the primary challenge
is how to store active Hindenburg sessions in such a way that recording, editing, etc. is not hindered. We find that Cloud storage has too many lag issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif">So my question to the group is, how do you store your in-progress Hindenburg sessions? For those who use Hindenburg for the recording process, do you record to a Hindenburg
file that is on a local computer or do you, like us, record from an external server? It would be most helpful to hear from studios that have multiple booths and produce large quantities of audio. We have considered storing directly on the computers at the
booths, but it seems that would require either a way to access the internal storage of each booth computer from workstations elsewhere in the studio and via a VPN; or transferring each in-progress session to a cloud server at the end of each recording session,
which would add to our already ample workload. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
