    I'm really losing it right now. Error loading message. I've been working all night every night for 3 days to make up for losing a track a few weeks ago. I though the original track was lost because I accidentally unplugged my hard drive while working. This time I just had the project saved to on my mac hd and just got the same message. I can't believe this is happening. Any way to get it back?

    Back up, back up, back up. Do you use a Mac and Time Machine by any chance?

    Never happened to me with Maschine. Have you checked your hard drive for errors - curropt files could be indicative of H/W failure? Please confirm the version of Maschine you are using? One way to avoid losing all your work when unplugging hard drives etc is to suffix your project saves with the date and time eg. myproject 2014-05-03 1135.mxprj. Then you've got multiple copies and you can use an earlier one if you describe to scrap some changes.
