Unsaved project crashed, have I lost the data forever? - SOLVED

Recommended Posts

I have a major and utter booboo, having worked on a project for a couple of hours not realising that I hadn't saved it at all (so no auto-saves I think), and as I went to move a change tempo node, the cakewalk crashed and there is no sign of my project on reopening. Obvious lesson for the future, always save your projects as literally the first thing I do when opening a new project!

However, is there anyway I can recover any of the data that I had in the unsaved project? It was a mixture of MIDI and audio recordings. Any hidden "autosave" locations that I'm praying exist?

Thank you


Edit: Phew!! I found a copy of the "autosave copy of (untitled)" in the "Projects" folder that was only a few minutes older than the crash, everything appears to be fine in it. I think I just panicked when it didn't appear as a recent file upon opening. Lesson definitely learnt, hopefully someone else will learn from my lesson as well. SAVE SAVE AND SAVE AGAIN. AND ONCE MORE FOR LUCK.
