Cubase Projects File LOST

[Gilera]

Hi all,

I have recently formatted drive C: and to my SUPER mistake i forgot that all my audio samples where stored in My Documents>Cubase Projects

I thought that all my cubase stuff was on my D: which hasn’t been touched.

I still have all the samples i used but some of them have been renamed while working on the project…because they where imported more than once so like always they got renamed to for example Bass Drum Sample-03 , Lead Synth-02 in the project pool. understood ?

This is a huge problem when using the “Resolve Missing Files” method because obviously the original sample banks only hold the original names i.e: “Bass Drum Sample” “Lead Synth”

I did try searching for the original audio sample with “Resolve Missing files” and tell cubase to use that but for some reason the audio sample that is being imported is losing its original warp that i had done to it and it gets like all crazy when i Musical Mode it again.

Is there a way that i could like change the names of the missing files so cubase could identify it instanty when i tell the “Resolve Missing Files” to look into a folder.

OR DOES ANYONE HAVE A CLUE OF A METHOD I COULD USE THAT CAN HELP ME RECOVER MY PROJECTS ?? PLEASE ANYONE!

Not of much help now, but when using files from outside the project folder, always, always make sure you import them into the working project audio folder. So all file are referenced from the same folder. This will save you grief in the future.

And how do you do that?

I have now moved the Cubase Projects File to D: …i never knew it was on C: Damn It!

@Gilera

And how do you do that?

Either you use the “Backup project” function, or the “Prepare archive”, depending on the circumstances. More info in the manual. In any case, you should know, your files are not on the drive you´re going to format…

Don’t do anything with the hdd yet. Google “rcover formatted hdd data” or various search terms akin to that. You might still be able to get them back.

Already did that with several different programs…no luck
