Live crashed and deleted project

Post by tintala » Fri Nov 10, 2023 3:37 am

Anyone else have this happen? Live 10 -w10-, my project crashed, so I restarted my computer , tried to open my project and windows said my project cannot be located. I checked the recycle bin and there the project was, so I restored, however it still did not show up under the projects folder or the short cut, so I opened live, it then asks me if I wan to recover my last session, I hit ok, it then opens "untitled" session with most of the tracks from my project, however about 10% of my tracks were missing. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Why would live crash and delete my project COMPLETELY? It wasnt even in the project folder, it was in the recycle bin.

Would love to hear if anyone has experienced this also?

Literally just happened to me, never had anything like this happen and was in the middle of a really big project so pretty upset. Luckily I was able to recover most but this is not an error I can risk ever having. The only thing I can think was different from my recent projects was that I was using an AU version of East West Play which is a notoriously buggy program but would really love to get information from someone smarter than me about what could cause this and how I can ensure that it never happens again.

This has happened to me twice now , so I make a habit of saving a copy of the project . I still have no idea what happened.
