actually, i think i'm safe. i just checked the modified dates on the project files, and it indicated they hadn't been modified, so the information had to still be there. so i reinstalled the plugin and the information seems to have reappeared...

thankfully.

yeah. i think it's ok. it looks ok. i may have fucked the bass part up myself in reaction, but i wasn't done mixing it yet, anyways. but now i'm paranoid about it. the key thing was those nasty guitars and they seem to be back to what they should be. a little extra quality control in a final run through isn't a really bad thing.

i just wish i knew what caused it. it wasn't that the settings were changed or anything, it was that the plugin on the track was just gone. deleted. caput.

just a reminder to save your settings. i did have them archived, but i wasn't sure they were updated....

it's izotope, fwiw. and it's not the first time it's gone wacky, but it is the first time this has happened. i guess i at least know now...

anyways, back to work. i plan to be done this today.
