manipulate this to achieve ideal singer placement with
respect to the speakers.
External Hard Disk
I always recommend using an external hard disk drive
to store your music. Such a device usually connects to
your computer via a USB interface, and this ensures
that, even if your computer breaks down, you can use
a backup laptop and still have access to your music
collection. Remember however that an external Disk
Drive will also require an additional electrical outlet.
It is also a good idea to have a backup copy of your
music collection. If something were to happen to your
hard drive at a gig, you can rest assured that you have
another copy safely stored at home. You may spend
years and thousands of dollars securing your music
collection; a simple $100 backup hard drive can help
insure your investment. This is yet another thing you
will regret not doing only when it's too late...
Having a backup laptop computer, especially when
doing a high-paying job like a wedding, is highly
recommended. You don't want your computer to crash
and halt the entire gig, possibly ruining someone's big
day. It is also a good idea to have a CD player, iPod,
or other MP3 player handy in case you do run into
