I accidentally saved over a project, any way to recover set?

[musikmachine]

Hey,

I feel like such a dumbass but I hit control s instead of control d and my previous set is now overwritten!

I know you can recover when the set crashes but can I recover from before I saved using that hack or not? Thanks!

There's a "Backup" folder in your project if you're using L10.

I am not.

[musikmachine]

Ooh, if i upgrade can i recover it?

[Tarekith]

Not this time, but in the future any new sets you work on would make that possible if you upgrade.

Fortunately, I have most of the parts due to the way I work but eff me lesson learned, it was my best track to date and if i'd have deleted all the parts I'd have been calling a therapist!

Maybe use this experience as a learning point to always make backups and incremental saves.

Automated backups of your projects are one thing, but what can be a life saver in these cases is to get into the habit of making versions of your saves. Something simple like every time you make a decent change in your project or add a new track etc just do a save-as and add a number to the end.

I had the same thing happen once when I had a great track I spent a whole day on (in another program), saving along the way but only to a single file. I made a few changes and did my last save and the program crashed while saving and corrupted the whole file so I lost all my work. I managed to remake some of it but it was not the same as my initial attempt and I was gutted. That was exactly when I designed the backup methods I use still to this day.

it was my best track to date

i know what you mean, all my deleted tracks were my best work - especially the accidentally deleted ones. those would have been gold, if i would have finished them instead. they were so good, Kanye would have interrupted my acceptance speech to kiss Beyonce's ass.

Lol! I humbly mean it objectively, I've been making amazing progress this year since taking a program that essentially deconstructs music and teaches you the fundamentals of what makes it tick without needing an Oxford music degree! But I'm working on stuff with a view to licensing it to libraries so losing stuff is a pita!

[MonoTeksist]

Well Live saves Sets at regular times, maybe you can recover your set fron that?

[slatepipe]

i've been using Splice now and then over the last year or so. every time you hit Save it saves as a new version and all the previous versions are there archived for you

i feel your pain. i was just kidding... and still agreeing. i've lost a few tracks that i was certain were the shit. i'd love to hear them now... probably lmao at some of them.

anyway, sorry for your loss.

Thank you, good sir. You saved me having to redo a cool little idea I had accidentally saved over. I was bummed out and now we're back in business!
