Hi to all the Audiosex family, I NEED HELP PLZ, my prob - I had a hdd failure recently, probably 400 developed ideas and maybe 100 near finished tracks sent to the heavens.. I felt like actually crying, 6+ years of late nights long sessions and countless days of learning amount to nothing... the only ray of hope i had was that i'd save my project files on a portable usb, now for my question, does anyone know of anyway to find the samples i had in my projects,

 

if it means too much for you and you feel it is worth the moeny, you can send it to pros and they will retrieve it for you, not that cheap tho!

 

Or you can write it off as an apprenticeship, and start over again from scratch as the professional you now are. That time you spent learning has not gone to waste

 

I feel your pain at a super personal level. This happened to me once. I'm deeply sorry, my friend. I recommend taking it to a professional just to get a quote as to how much it will cost. If it's worth it, do it. I personally would've paid just about any cost just to get all the data I lost to my HDD crash, back into my possession. It may be different for you, but I doubt it because I can tell you feel the same way I felt.

 

It happened to me also, but I just felt free and my new stuff sounded better than anything I remembered

 

Yeah I sent it of and got a quote they are asking like £400 - £500 pounds and they only listed a quarter of my 2tb drive as retrievable, i was majorly hurt.

 

Thx man.. appreciated.

 

i had the same issue 5 years ago , although i backup on dvd often , this time my almost new hd had a major failure and i hadnt backuped a bunch of cubase projects. The solution for me was to download ontrack recovery pro (Ontrack.EasyRecovery.Enterprise.v11.0.2.0) and then removed the hard disk from the tower and put it in an external box like this one HDD Enclosure AC-Ryan (usb2 & e-sata) ALUBOX and after that i started saving all the files i could

i came out of this with a couple of non playable moviez but i managed to save all my projects. Definitely turned out cheaper that turning to a pro recovery store with no risk at all at harming the hdd more than it was. and after that i have done crazy things with that alubox , its a real life saver, got a couple of 3-5 tb toshiba and hgst hitachi hdds (two of the best brands i think) and i backuped all my stuff x3 using it

good luck in saving your projects man

 

Priceless as in incalculable, Thx for this info i'm definitely gonna try this out. the only thing about FL searching for the samps is that if you have obscure file names like 01 violin, 02 violin and so on, its virtually impossible to know what sample pack or even your own loop kits they come from. that said thx again mate

 

I'm sorry for you. You should make a Backup regularly of your sound libraries and other on another hard drive, and still make a second backup of your files .flp.

On the other hand, is that all your projects Successful few productions? Or was this a hobby for you. I suspect that you are addicted to music composition, but many more unhappy things may arrive in life. Think about it.

So you'll have to turn back to zero. This story may not be so tragic that after all. You have evolved over the years and those sleepless nights. Remember your last compositions and try to find these sound banks. New stuff happen every day on AudioZ. You will find enough courage and musical inspiration to be continued.

We are all heart with you. Give us your news and progress of reconstruction.

Yours,

Too late now, but FL has an option to save your project as a ZIP which culls all the used samples from your library and puts them into one package with the FLP. Then if the path changes (external HDD changes drive letters, etc.) or your sample drive dies, you've got everything all right there without any guess work.

Highly suggested.

 

Will do, and thank you sir.

 

@Bobs Ur Unkle

What do you love as kind in samples or libraries? And what's your style or musical genre? We can help you by searching with you, what you would like. Do you have a Premium account on Uploaded? If not, I can help you at this level. In terms of FL Studio. You had a legitimate version, or was it a cracked version.

You can contact me at my email address is in my profile on AudioZ (LV-426) or by PM.

Good luck for the future. We are all here to help if needed.

Best Regards mate.

YOU KIND SIR are a lifesaver, like a dying man receiving mouth to mouth from Beyonce then Margot robbie then eva mendez then Rhianna and so on (I can't get my self made stuff back), BUT at last i can find where a lot of the samples i used came from. THANK YOU my friend...

 

Not gonna lie though. At first I literally thought the title implied "Any Florida veterans" meaning anyone from florida who's been in the military. #AmericanLife #StatesProblems #LandOfTheUnintelligent

 

@Impressive

I am a former Navy Seal Team VI. I made three three-month mission in Afghanistan.
I'm a Sniper and I helped to save the lives of my brothers.
Without us, Bin Laden would still alive. So your comments to the con, you can put them where I believe.

 

*Huge Respects, mate* I mean, if you're serious.
I wasn't bashing veterans. I come from a vastly military family, with cousins in the air force, police force, a dad who fought in vietnam, an uncle who fought in korean war, a grandfather who fought in WWII, my other grandfather who was in the Navy, and my 17 year old niece wants to be part of the air force. I wasn't bashing america either. I was making fun of myself, mostly. You have to admit, it was a pretty stupid error on my part.

 

Yes I'm mate!

 

I'm gunna call bullshit.
