I would like to thank everybody for their input and help, couldnt have done it without their input and guidance.
once again a big thanks.
Thanks for the autosave file. It has the same tracks (two actually) with a clip (a section) at the start that has no audio. That should not happen. It's OK to have no audio if there is no clip. If your remember anything about how the tracks got empty, or if you have further crashes, please let us know and attach the .aup or autosave file.

You had the tag error after deleting nulls because some of the tags in the syntax that were open had not been closed. It looks as if you still lost some of the tracks towards the bottom of that recovered project.

I have seen nulls in the .aup or autosave before. One would hope if the autosave file did not save because the crash happened while it was being saved, then it would not get moved over the previously saved autosave file.
