HELP - Saved something accidentally...

Post by JMan9391 » Sat Oct 01, 2011 5:59 pm

Hi,
Does anyone know how to "unsave" something? I just made some changes to a mix, and accidentally hit "Save". I'm afraid this was a terrible mistake, lol. Does anyone know how I can "retrieve" the previous file?

I think this can't be undone.

Through time i've learned to make a copy before I begin working on an existing track.
Name one: Track 01 (Original)
And the other one: Track 01 (Copy)

Now you can always get back to your original version afterwards.

Also while working on a file, when I make a big change like changing a melody or a synthpatch
I choose "File --> Save a copy..", then ableton automatically saves a copy in stead of overwrting the old one..

Keep that in mind ;)
