Help!
I committed a Tracktion sin back in the day; I did not archive my projects. The laptop they were on died, and all I have is the hard drive with the projects on it - the hard drive is fine.
When I try to load up the edit from one of the projects from that drive into T6, I get this message:
"some parameters could not be loaded"
Happens again, then crash to desktop.
The audio recordings from the project are intact.
The MIDI data does not show up, and edits won't load.
I really want the MIDI data and the plugins I was using. Is this possible to recover in any way from the edit files? Is there a text readable decoder of the edit that might help?

You should be able to open the edit file in any text editor. Recent edit files have been in XML format and if you're familiar with XML or even HTML they shouldn't present too much of a problem for you to understand. What I'd suggest is looking at the tag markers of a T6 project and comparing them with the tag markers of your T3 ones. It ought to suggest which parameters have changed.
Are the MIDI files still in the project folder?
If you do edit the edit file, keep an unedited version of it safe.
It did cross my mind that with T5 being a little nearer to T3 than T6, you might load that up and try it. T3 and T4 would have had identical file layouts, I believe.

I remembered that I have T4 installed on an older desktop I don't use for audio production and I can at least SEE the MIDI data, now to export it!jabe wrote:You should be able to open the edit file in any text editor.

Got the midi data exported, saw which plugins I used for VSTi and VST and I'm on my way.
