Ableton Forum

hiya - i'm wondering if its possibble somehow to recover a corrupt als file.. anything would be better than nothing..

does ableton save backups anywhere? normally i save projects under different incremental names as i work on them - but for this one it was quick mostly made in one day... i'm annoyed as it was a pretty much finished sequence..and it was a good chooN!

i've never really had a problem like this before - i cant remember the last time a project corrupted on me - especially one i was working on. i am pretty sure live cloesd down normally and everything.. V 4.1.2 it is..

could this be the beginning of the death of my lacie harddrive? i've had it for 2 years almost and its been used almost every day.. i recently installed some loop collections and a few weeks later i tried to access them from live and was getting - file corrupt message - it could be just coincidence i guess - but maybe no?

any help would be appreciated - ty

no problem - i did a search for .als files and its found some crash files from earlier - not the final sequence but alot better than nothing..

still i think its time for a new external usb2 hd - ma lacie porche thing is quite noisy.. any reccomendations? i think somethin the size of 160 gig is big enough - are bigger drives more unstable? seems abit scary to have so much data on one device... even if ya do back up regually - and well, i cant think of many people who even back up at all...
