Hi, I’m a new user to Spectralayers 11 Pro, and have successfully used it in about 4 projects with GREAT RESULTS! however, after spending a full day of editing, I figured I’d give my ears,(and Brain) a rest and send all the layers into Reaper , and DaVinci Resolve to complete my project.
When I open the project this morning, all my layers in the project were gone. After spending most of the day searching for answers as to why this happened, and if it was my fault for saving as a modified file name. I figured I would update all my drivers, and see if anyone else has had this issue. I’ve been using RX10 advanced, but I thought I would “step up” my work flow. The only issue I have is that most of the videos of this software are not very thorough, and most deal with the previous versions. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
I have had this problem recently with SL11 (I think it was v4) as well
… as I wrote up in a previous thread here on this board
I have begun to create redundant files as a safety copy
for example:
job1.slp
and
job1_BU.slp
that way, I don’t lose work
I manually overwrite those two redundant files with same name as I work
I feel for you losing work…I lost 10 day’s worth of work…it’s just not worth it to not save redundant copies with differing filenames
When report this stuff you really should include which version of SL you had an issue with. If you investigate the thread I linked to you, you will find I had a messy, nested install (I arrived at that nesting partially due to the SDA)
Not really meant as a bump:
WORKFLOW
After having issues, whether due to user error (highly common for me or software glitches whether program specific or OS hosery).
I always keep two versions of the same file
for example, if I named a .slp job: interview_20251107.slp;
then I’ll make a redundant file whose syntax is interview_20251107_BU.slp
Today, I accidentally overwrote a .slp for a lavalier with the shotgun; same content recorded on different mics. Weeks of work in both jobs. And I do keep other backups archived, too. (I no longer separate the mics in my .slp jobs; I put all the mics of the same recording in the same .slp; this mistake I made was with an older job)
But this redundant file workflow I always used saved my bacon and I only lost about 30 min worth of work.
Just sayin
