Hard drive got wiped, guess you won't be hearing any new songs from me for a while.
Edit: There's an old backup of my FL Studio project files that wasn't affected, but this only goes as far back as 11th December 2022, so anything I've made after that is lost. Most notably:
- All Demos from Inktober '23
- All files associated with Album-A-Day: Wing It!
- The project files for Attic Daydreaming, Interlude: Awaken, Last Day to Thrive and Epilogue: Resolve, all of which were from Album-A-Day: Last Day to Thrive.
This may not sound as bad as it is, but given that I was in the middle of remaking Inktober '23 and I was particularly proud of Wing It! and Last Day to Thrive, losing the project files associated with them is a major blow.
Once I've reinstalled all of my plugins I'm going to do another Album-A-Day to make up for the fact that nothing has been released in a while.

Invest into an external hard drive. Even if you never "need" it it is an investment that will really put your mind at ease. Once per week, month, or whenever you end a session where you did something "big": Shove your creative output on there and then disconnect _all_ of its cables. Done.

I have like 3 external hard drives, but 2 of them I can't find and the other one I think is just broken. I have a hard drive in my PC just for storage and thankfully that one wasn't affected, but it also isn't up-to-date. I'm just going to move files there for now and then back it up with the external hard drives once I find them.
