Won't save and deletes randomly
Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2023 10:25 pm
So in my first lmms project I was working on the project just randomly messed up and undo wouldn't get it back to normal so I deleted it and started over, this time saving after every instrument I added to make sure if this happened again I could fix it. After working on the project for two hours it randomly deletes all the notes that I put in, all the instruments I added are still there but no beats, just empty. No problem I think, ill just load my save, and lo and behold that was somehow completely empty of beats too, only had my instruments. Not being able to save and randomly deleting itself kind of makes this daw completely unusable, but unfortunately I have tried several other daws and they just aren't as good for what I want to do and it is extreamly frustrating. I really really like lmms I just please please want it to work and not eat my project because I don't really want to spend hours on something that not only wont save natively I cant even just make it all and then record it with audacity because it might eat itself before I get to the end of the project. The fixes I saw for people with similar problems dont really apply, because my laptop was indeed plugged in and I saved over and over so even if it didn't save right once why would it not save literally any of the times? I saw something about backup files and im not sure if one exists or not, but I really need this to be fixed in a way where I won't have to go hunting for a back up file every time I try to make something... Thank you so much please help I am so deeply upset that lmms is broken and every other daw is either terrible for what I want or costs 200 dollars
