8.0.4 won't open Live Set after Live Pack goes corrupt

[starboynz]

Hi

I upgraded to Suite 8.0.4.

I was a little low on space on the working hard drive so archived some live sets to Live Packs as detailed in the documentation and got rid of the old Project folders.

One Live Pack says it is corrupt so we went back using File Recovery software and backups and successfully undeleted the Project folders, however when I try to open any of the recovered Live Sets I get a curious error message telling me that they were created using a newer version of Live (which is not true.) They won't open with Lve 7 or 8.0.1 either.

An error occured while reading 'z:\Projects\Songname\setfilename.als.' Apparently, the document was created by a more recent, and incompatible, version of Live than this.

[Unknown base type id 224]

Furthermore, when I try to open the critical clip files that I need, I get a similar message.

This time [Unknown base type 174]

Does anybody have:

• a utility to unpack a Live Pack or a Live Set or even to extract the MIDI out of a Live Clip,
• any idea why Live won't recognise these files any more?
• an idea of what these base type ids mean?

What have we missed in restoring these folders that Live can't recognise the individual files.

Hope others have come across this!

Hi starboynz

I have had exactly the same problem only with Live 7. Did you find a solution?

i have had a similar problem like this, but it was do to frequent crashes and me getting impatient with ableton, keep those files you might need them one day, also make redundant copies of your work, if it is that important, but really truely the actual project file is a file created by the ableton software
