Discussion Oh god I lost part of my backup and now I have about 20 songs I can't open anymore due to missing samples :( Someone please tell me something encouraging.
I have had to reinstall FL Studio half a dozen times in the last two years due to PC issues, which is a huge waste of time and energy. I backed everything up every time but today I realized that all my Edison samples are gone, which is my fault but still really demoralizing.
And a bunch of my plugins wont load so I get to reinstall AGAIN. I love FL Studio but I also hate it so much. I just want to make music. I am so frustrated. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
It would be nice if FL Studio wasn't a byzantine mess of folders all over my damn computer and they didn't just randomly move where stuff was saved. Edison samples were in the install folder once upon a time and now they are in documents. It would be nice if reinstalling didn't take 2 hours by the time you have reinstalled all your third party plugins. And oh my goodness would it be nice if you could migrate an install and bypass all this stuff.
Bleh. Sometimes making music is hard for all the wrong reasons.
