Have any of you ever recreated an entire song that you lost ?

Luckily I saved the midis and know some of the drum samples I used , but I don't know the magic isn't there like in those intiail sessions , and it sucks because I know this song is a monster and could get signed (a few people on ta can vouch for me) but I feel like I'm never going to be able to dial in the baseline just the way it was , or have things tweaked precisely to its original settings all I can do is try ...but yeah I literally worked on this song for weeks and my hard drive died..
Any of you ever been in a similar situation ? |

yes and ive always ended up making something better anyway! |

Yep...and it was a bitch. Even though I liked the final version it always seems like I lost something from the original.
At the same time, I was also in a a near situation as you. That also made me realize to back my up! |

| Do you know anyone with an external drive docking bay? those things run at lower power and can save files on drives that are considered dead, sometimes... Worth a try. |

Put the drive in the freezer for a few hours. More often that not it will let you access a fried drive.
I realized this and was able to recover a lot of the content, although every time the drive warmed up again it would stop working.
I know this sounds silly but I went and got dry ice to pay the drive, then hooked up the USB sata connector and the drive stayed cool enough for me to salvage what I needed, Couldn;t get everything off it as it was pretty badly corrupted but at least got it spinning and recognised long enough to get the vital off. |

haha, that's cool! like the old advice of putting dead GPUs in the oven for a while in order to fix them. |

Yeah, exactly. I'm not 100% on the science of it but more often than not it has to do with both the motor and magnetic disc surface inside - at cold temps the magnetic structure is denser and more uniform, and magnets behave in a more defined manner so it can be read while in that state. For instance when high speed or very small electromagnetic motors get hot, they lose efficiency. It's definitely not a working long term solution but will get you out of jail when a drive starts going to . |

that was on a big batch of Intel videochips, I had to do that to even get the laptop to start. something about re-sodering the circuits on a microscopic level long enough to get going, but to start it up it had to be ridiculously hot |
