Corrupt Files

Hey all, i have been working on a track for a while now, and was pleased with the progress. Saved it. Went to pc next day, go to open up flp file, only to find its corrupt. Is there any way around this so that i can get into this flp file again? Using fl7 by the way.

I don't think so, at least, not in Cubase, I don't know about FL. I had that a couple of times as well, pretty shitty.

complete nightmare, was one of my favourite tracks i was working on too fs.

Oh yeah.. corrupt file... one of the worst things that can happen.

It happened to me also once, had a killer remix going on.

Since then I always save my sessions to a new file (or multiple if the improvements are great) to avoid this, it leaves me having 30-50 project files of a finished track, but rather that than having a corrupted file which is gone forever.

Plus, I can always go back on an earlier file if my improvements sucks.

i see on the official imagine line fl studio website, you can download a program, which lets you delete any vst you think may have caused the corruption to occur. This is pretty sweet, you still have the midi and all, just a case of re-assigning the right synth to the midi must give this a go. fingers crossed.

Yeah, was just going to suggest that, it worked perfect with the few corrupted files I've had.

Tried the 8.5 beta yet? It's sweet.

yes that's what i do i start with say V1.0 and it can go right up to v30.9 say. once i finish the track then i call it by the track name.

Same here..

I think there is a bit of paranoia in the air.

Chance are people will only fuck with you if you act like Sublte or DJ RAJNN, thsoe are a few people I wouldn't mind seeing all their work destroyed, *wink wink*. Don't be a moron, and learn to use the internet. If something happens to your data it is almost always your fault.

Also learn what things are, someone who breaks into your system is a "cracker", and a lot of times it has nothing to do with "that virus you downloaded", often they will manually try to connect to your PC and mess around. That is a lot of work, and often people don't randomly do it if they have any skill. Viruses and Trojans, as I said, its your fault for not taking the time out to learn how to use a PC. These are often made by people as a programming project to learn from, a short laugh, or for some other reason.

Please learn about what really are security risks, and what the etiquette is, people are not out to get you, its too much time and effort to try to break into your router and passed any other security software/hardware you might have, just to delete some mp3s, anyone with that kind of skill does not have an IQ low enough to waste his time on something so menial.

Malicious is almost always something *you* installed. You downloaded a .jpg or an .mp3 and it had malicious code and bam you were fucked. Yes .mp3s can have malicious code. And of course many .exes can. But all that can be avoided by knowing who you download from and what you are downloading.

And despite what anyone wants to think, ive been using bitorrent since it started, and I have not gotten a single piece of malware from it.

Yeah, that would be a bitch, considering we`d probably only have some clipping mp3s left.

Trying to win on the internet is like trying to win in the special Olympics.

your flp could have been corrupted by a vst; you can try removing the vst. if you're not sure which vst fucked it up, rename your vst folder to something else for the time being then try load your flp.

QFT

when im working on tracks I make a new folder for the project then each time Im saving Im saving the project as a new file in that folder.

/prosjekt folder/prosjekt file 1.rsn
/prosjekt folder/prosjekt file 2.rsn
/prosjekt folder/prosjekt file 3.rsn
/prosjekt folder/prosjekt file 4.rsn
/prosjekt folder/prosjekt file 5.rsn

has saved my day a few times. not beacuse of error in the files but beacuse i sometimes do bad changes in the project. When the project is finished i might delete some of them if their big. this i do with reason, i hope it will be just as easy when im starting to use logic.

edit: lol same as subtle it seems

so its possible in other words?
just buy a new set of legs?

thanks for replies. i tried that thing where you go to remove vst, it doesnt give me the option to however. the only vst in the file was z3ta, i use it in every project and its sweet. this is a project i did maybe 4/5 weeks ago like.

you went to c:/program files/vst plugins & tried moving it? all you have to do is move the z3ta.dll out onto the desktop and try loading the flp after

no joy mate

damn.
