I lost a lot of my master files when my comp crashed last year. Anyone else ever deleted one of their best songs accidentally or otherwise??

Yes. Unfortunately, I've lost more than 1 great recording to user error, and one to an electrical surge.

Its made me cry, how about you?

I was just talking about this in my "instrumental by me" thread that my music program, Magix bugged out on me and so i basically lost 50 song ideas or songs. But i still have the files, but can't get the program to work, and i've tried uninstalling and installing again too. Maybe i need an updated version.
But i have cool edit pro so i have another 50 song ideas and shit.

yeah man, crying is all there is to do. I sit here strugling to complete my second album in time but I wouldnt be if the comp didnt crash

I had this great girlfriend, she was hot. And bossy as hell. So I left her.

I suppose you could say I deleted a master piece.

Back up files! Everytime I save a song to my hard drive I save it to a cd-rw as well, no matter how minor of a change I've made.

Starting this hard drive around, I will be doing this.

Yeah man, learned that the hard way.

not only back up your files, mix down a hard copy also.
