OH NO!!!!

I'm in the middle of producing a track for a client and have put in a lot of work so far. Lots of audio recording and preliminary mixing. A track ball fumble caused me to click on revert to a previous date and I can not seem to undo this. All revert options now listed are from a month ago, nothing from the last couple of days. This is catastrophic if I can't fix it. Please someone help!

idk if this will work, but worth a shot!

love when LUNA insta save doesn't save..

That's odd because it works for me and I have auto-save set to 1mn. Have you tried the whole uninstalling/deleting prefs process?

Try MacOS Time Machine if you accidentally have an auto-back up. This is the worst choice if other option doesn't work for you. Good luck.

After dry heaving for about 15 minutes, I found the solution. At the top of the window, if you click on the project title, it brings up the "New versions and bookmarks" button. There's an option to revert to the point just before you did the stupid thing that almost costed you your job. Fuck, that was intense!

Still would love to know why all revert options are from last month. Drew?

I feel your pain.

I remember way way back, my partner and I were working on the music for the flotation of Scottish Power and we had just finished the music bed with the client team sitting behind me. I've no idea what happened but the whole lot vanished (This was in the days of Mac SE30s and ver early Cubase). We kindly suggested that since we'd completed, they might like to pop out for a meal whilst we tidied stuff up. Off they went and we spent the next 90 minutes frantically recreating the music bed from scratch. Dry heaving was the order of the day! The client never knew...

Try MacOS Time Machine

Yes! I recommend Time Machine for continuous backups, and some kind of offsite copies via iDrive or similar. I go even further and use git for version management...but I'm a programmer and already use it.
