I just finished recording/mixing an entire song and reaper crashes on me. and the last time I saved was like, yesterday. :cry:

I don't even think I can push myself to redo all of that. It was like 12 hours of work I lost. I guess I'll become very familiar with ctrl-s from now on.
 
man and i get annoyed if i lose 5 minutes of work.
condolences man, but yeah ctrl+s is where its at.
 
Not to mention if you had tons of takes and never cleaned your project directory, have fun sorting through all that crap! :goggly:
 
Yeah all my wavs are there. all 665 of them. :mad: I just enabled 15 minute auto-save in the preferences...I don't know why that wasn't on by default
 
I autosave every minute and properly save new versions everytime I reach a benchmark point in editing or mixing. If it's a project that matters I do a full backup to an external drive everyday too.
 
^ anyone who actually goes into the menus for a common task like Saving, rather than using the prescribed keyboard shortcut, is... as Notuern/Cartman put it... a gay homosexual.

seriously though... i fired an assistant that constantly "went fishing" in the menus, rather than learning Key Commands... his excuse was, "s'just my workflow man, everybody does things differently, ya know?" no. i didn't know. :err:

:lol:
 
i was still going up to the snap to grid button and clicking on it until last night :(
i guess id be fired too eh? haha
 
happened here before as well... not to that extent but it was bad. i was so pissed that i punched the keyboard and all the keys went flying everywhere, and the back shell of it cracked. then i was even more pissed.

then i drank a lot and i was better.
