I feel like crying. I have been working on a new track for three days...I did a mixdown of a section to stick on my MP3 player to listen while I go the shop to see how it sounded on the move and Cubase finished and crashed. I reloaded Cubase, reloaded the project and all the instruments and automation setting have been lost...everything. I honestly think it was the best thing I have ever done and it is gone forever apart from a shitty 40 second mixdown. Bastard :( |

I know how you feel. I just updated my OS and in the process somehow my hard drive encountered a major error. I had to reformat -- Lost over 100 gigabytes of data. Artwork, videos, pictures, etc. |

when that sort of thing happens to me i question whether or not im really talented or if i just get lucky in making good sounding music. because if i were seriously talented then i could remember what i had done, and reproduce it couldn't i? |

i dunno - when you are in that mode, inspired things can be created instinctively and some times its hard to remember.. i know this feeling, its shit.. maybe u cud use the mixdown as a reference.. |

I remember what I did, and I could probably replicate it...but it's all about feeling, you can't reconstruct something you made through feeling unless you get that feeling back which is rare. Not enough feeling. |

that's horrible. i admire people who resist the urge to throw their computers out of the window after incidents like this one. |

It's the save file that has become corrupted so autosave didn't autosave me :( |

this has happened to me in the past, long ago on my shit 750MHZ machine. It is an awful feeling. But I found that the new version i made from my memory, though not the same, was still good if not better than the original. so don't give up is what i'm saying. it sucks but it's still worth working on it. It also got me into the habit of CTRL-S'ing obsessively such that my left hand developed this claw shape that fits my pinkie and index fingers on the appropriate buttons without looking. It's also good for hitting F and G# on a piano. |

I'm going to leave it a few days and start again...it's just this had a dimension my other stuff has been missing. Bleh, it pisses me off. I also save all the time but as I said it seems to be the actual save file which has corrupted...so from now on I am going to hve to make regular backups as well. |

I lost my best ever track (it was about 95% finished, hence not yet backed up to cd-r) in a HD failure. Aside from me being immensly proud of it, everyone I played it to (even people who don't like electronic music) really liked it and it managed to be sort of "accessible IDM". It sounded a bit like Leftfield with a few glitchy bits thrown in. Of course, I've never been able to come close to recreating it and in the 4 or so years that have passed the version of it in my head has changed/eroded, so I can no longer imagine it accurately. Aside from it being absolutely gutting at the time, it's compounded by the fact that people you recount the story to (even if they don't say it out loud) think "Hmm, I bet it wasn't as good as he says it is..." |
