    Sorry to hear this šŸ˜„

    I’m afraid there is no easy way to recover your recordings from the cache files. The cache files contains raw sample data, but it is divided into small bits of mono audio streams which may not be consecutive. So even if you open the files in a sound editor that can load raw files, you could face a huge amount of cut and paste to recover some useful audio.

    Support for auto-save and crash recovery is on the future plan. I’ll need to modify the cache file format so that it stores additional info that can be used to recover the audio streams.

    Yes please. Some sort of user specified number of incremental auto saves, that would for instance generate 2 or 3 versions of a project and / or arrangement would be great.

    Even a simple auto save at user specified intervals would also be very helpful.

    Personally Podium has been the most reliable Host I have ever used. Having said that, your suggestions for Auto save and Crash recovery would take data management up another level as those features would make Podium pretty much impervious to losing data. šŸ™‚

    Thank You for the quick reply!

    After all, it was just a rehearsel. 8)

    In my case, an auto-save when pausing or stopping the transport would have been enough. In general the stability of Podium 1.94 is good.
