My internal HD crashed last month, which I consider a worst case scenario. I have plenty of external storage in addition to my new internal HD. It took hours, but I was able re-download my BiaB program from the web.

My problem as I see it is that I had my album half completed before my HD crash. I can't find my original BiaB tracks in an editable un-rendered form to plug into ProTools. They could be currently in my computer, but I don't know the file extension names to search for. What does it mean to un-render my scratch wav files? I have those.

Thank you,everyone,in advance. I sure need your help.

Your BiaB songs would likely be using .MGU or .SGU as the file name extension.
You may also want to search .mg* or .sg*

Also, you unfortunately cannot ‘unrender’ audio files back to BIAB files. This would be like taking a baked cake and going back to the original ingredients.

Thank you. I saw a tab like that, but I could not see how it could help me in this situation. Have a great day.

Thank you. Time to go deep diving into all my hard drives. Maybe I can get lucky. Have a great day

Exactly. There's crashed, and then there's dead.

You may be able to access some files on your hard drive. It might not even be the hard drive, since there can be other problems like a faulty cable or connection, or a malfunctioning controller. Or a virus. Lots of possibilities that do not necessarily mean you've lost your work. You can diagnose some of these by trying the drive on another computer. Did you make backups?

Sounds like you can connect multiple hard drives.
I'd try shutting down, connecting the old drive back up, but not as the Boot drive.

It may have enough life left to access the stored data, but the OS section is toast.
I've had that before; a drive appears bad as the Boot drive (C:), but when used as a secondary drive, like E:, it worked well enough to transfer my files to a drive I trusted.

Just an idea.
