Lost a song when installing 1.50

Lost a song when installing 1.50

I lost the song I was working on when I installed 1.50. I saved as project and backed up the project that the song was in to USB, but all that was saved was my studio set. The song's gone. I think I'm gonna be a little sick....can anyone tell me what I may have done wrong?

Thanks,

You have a lot of different threads going and they all seem related to you not understanding how the file structure works.

First of all I would forget about using the inbuilt memory (project) and start with a USB stick as described in the other thread.

Think of a Project as a Folder. You might have one called Mine.project with all your stuff in it and you might have another called wifeys.project with all her stuff in it. That's all a project is, a way to store all the elements of the keyboard in one place.

If we was using the scenario above you would create 2 projects on your usb stick with them names. When you load mine.project you can store whatever you have changed (song, studio set etc) at anytime by pressing the write button next to the wheel. YOU DO NOT RESAVE THE PROJECT ONCE CREATED, YOU JUST USE THE WRITE BUTTON AND SELECT WHAT YOU WANT SAVED.

Then if you wanted to do something in wifeys.project you would load that and do the same as above.

The last Project you worked on will always be loaded by default when the machine is switched on (unless you take your USB stick out and then it will default to the internal project.)
Whine whine everywhere and not a drop to drink ;)

I appreciate your help (and your patience!) It's starting to make sense to me. I do have one more question, however....I created a new project on my USB pen drive, but that is not allowing me to use the Sinevibes sounds, since they are in their own project. I'm sure there must be an easy way around this. Could you let me know?

Nevermind....I just saw Artemiy's instructional video on Youtube about using the Fantom G Librarian to do this. Sorry about all the posts...

mmm... just to share

When I reloaded my internal project I lost one of my songs it was replaced with a demo song ???

Looking in the SNG directory I noticed two different songs starting with 002xxxx filename . So I deleted the 2 002xxxxx files from the demo song (called 'the light' or something), and suddenly my song popped up again in the songlist. Lucky.
