dark_anth Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I have been working on this rave song for about a month now and while I was saving, my laptop died right after I hit save. Can I save it? how? FL STUDIO 9 I was using nexus 2 also. PLEASE HELP ME (((((:banghead::banghead: Here is the file http://rapidshare.com/files/390785575/Booyakasha.flp.html it can only be downloaded 10 times so only dl if you want to help. I REALLY NEED THIS TO BE FIXED BECAUSE ITS GOING ON ITUNES I will include a shoutout to you in the song if you help me fix it/fix it.

Nutritious Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 First, go to this path and see if there's a project file: C:\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio 9\Trash bin Copy this file into your projects folder (and rename it), then see if it's the right project file. When you save over a previous version of a project file, it automatically stores the previous file here as a precaution. This only works if you haven't worked on any other projects since this corrupted one. Hopefully this will would as it's the best way to recover a corrupted file. There are a few other options, but they get progressively worse as you go. EDIT: By the way, I always recommend you save new versions of your project as you make significant changes via File > Save New Version. I've had over 40 versions of a single song in the past .

Nabeel Ansari Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Nope, no way of getting it back. I mean you should be able to tell if you can't find it in your file: it's over, you're better off redoing whatever you did. That's why you hit "Ctrl+S" periodically (save shortcut) and always remember what you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutritious Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 You can try the FL diagnostic tool: http://flstudio.image-line.com/diagnostic/ No guarantees though. Also, ctrl+s wouldn't have helped here, seeing that the file is corrupt anyway. ctrl+n = save new version. I use it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion303 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 The diagnostic tool won't help. There's nothing in that file to recover. If you don't have previous saves, you'll have to start from scratch. Moral: "save new version" often. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeD64 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Yeah, I save new versions of my files as I'm working on them as well. And I usually do this in most programs I work on. I always save backup versions of my files because no matter what the software, sometimes it corrupts the file usually during the saving process and screws you over.
