i normally am quite cautious, and do that, but for some reason i just didn't this time. typical.

ahh i know the feeling it's happened to me a couple times in the past before.

that sux!!!!

I usually save like a fiend nowadays

I remember when I started out I would never save lol I would work on a tune for 8 hours and not save it. Of course I have lost a few projects and learned the lesson. Still I don't usually save a lot until I am really happy with what I am doing. Then I'm saving every couple minutes.

i save religiously. after every salient event, save. i also do versioning systems in number if "upgrade" tracks.

lol gutted, its the worst feeling as soon as youve done it ya heart just drops then search repeatedly untill you release you aint getting it back, now i save like every five mins to make sure i got everything ive done

I press save every 10 seconds lol

This reminds me. i went bookies yesturday won £118 and press wrong button to collect and reverted me back to £2

Setup auto save. SIMPLE.

i'm happy just saving every so often during a session (even though i didnt do so on this rare occasion)

on another note i'm personally against having 'clocks' running in the background on my computer, same applys to timed screen savers and other 'auto' functions, especially when using CPU heavy applications and and CPU heavy 'soft' synthesizers.

amount of times ive done that :-/

but most of the time i end up preferring the original version so it's ok lol

i dunno about music software but some video editing programs allow u to autosave every...5, 10...mins...etc...

check the preferences. also...in 3d software there is a back up feature that allows u to go back to where you were if the program crashed.

check that as well....auto back and auto save.

most will probably have a save to new file setting somewhere so it just adds a prefix at the end.
If it doesn't then :-/

dunno the truth in this but i got told by knowledgeable producer that you souldnt keep saving over the same file as it slowly corrupts it, you should do a save as. does anyones project open up differently to when they last saved and closed? on logic. one project came up totally jumpled + i cant be bothered to sort.

FUCK reason just crashed just lost my work
