HELP AL9 Won't Save My Work

Post by knite778 » Thu Feb 13, 2014 5:23 am

Been working for hours here and all past changes were saving just fine until now. I try saving, saving as, copying, etc. and I get a small grey window in the middle of the screen that reads: "The File C:/... Could Not Be Opened." The C: file is my song of course, don't want to lose this please assist 8O

Ouch.

Specs for your setup? What computer, what OS?

If Mac, have you got Time Machine?

If it was me, I would force close Live and hope that autorecovery has saved my set 8O but that's a risk

Freeze tracks. This creates audio files which you can then copy from the Finder. It's a quick fix, but it's better than nothing.
