Im getting a lot of crashes so therefore saving my work as projects.
Before the last crash I was trialling highlight accents in a loop on different spectral selections and using vst3 fx on just those. Was coming along nicely, I saved the project, did some other stuff and got a crash then when I opened the saved project, all the selections were now gone? Is that how its meant to work?
As long as you don’t specifically save a selection it will be gone after reload.
You can however save your current selection within the project under Select → Save Selection… and restore it with Load Selection… .
When saving you can enter a custom name for that selection and you can also update/overwrite it with a new selection by entering the same name again.
Thanks
I had used that before but was caught offguard as eg masks in photoshop are always there when you save the doc…using the graphic paradigm
Gets a bit messy having to play librarian 
Heh, well, I know a layer mask has quite a close connection with a selection in Photoshop, still SpectraLayers is not Photoshop (… yet … unfortunately?). I actually would not mind masking in SL, would make complex mixes easier.
I found it very creative to isolate rhythmic accents and apply some vst plugs…
Masking beimg a bit more refined woukd be amazing
