Please help I have spent a lot of time on the project and just want to recover my files. Yesterday I used to save as feature to save my project, I titled it “good” and saved it to my desktop. All was well and two new files were then created on my desktop. “good” and “good_data”. The next day I attempted to open good but I received an missing audio data block files error. I just want to recover my hard work. I will attach a zipped copy of the two files on my desktop as well as the error log.
