Question

Scenario:

I create an initial scene, say MIX 1

And I do a bunch of work, perhaps even days worth

And I intentionally or unintentionally recall MIX 1 without making a new Scene to save my current state

Then I have just lost all of my work, with no way to recover, except maybe close the Song quickly and re-open

Is this correct?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Maybe you forgot to select "update scene" in the scenes pull menu

Scenes can be a little tricky to use, but not complicated. There are plenty of mix scene videos on youtube, and in the manual (press F1) then search for scenes

Answer 2

Exactly. If I update MIX 1, now all I have is MIX 1 and not the original MIX 1 and my current state to compare; I just made my current state be MIX 1, which defeats the point of MIX 1.

And if I didn't update MIX, and all recall options are checked, and I recall MIX 1 for whatever reason, I've just lost all of the work I've done since I created or last updated MIX 1.

This seems like a major security hole. You could lose days or week's worth of work if you did not create a new scene, and then accidentally recalled that first scene for any reason.

It's a tricky scenario, and not addressed in any documentation or video, except to say that you have to have created a new scene before recalling the original one to compare it to.
