A fatal crash -recovering the file?

A nasty thig happened: while working with backing vocal tracks, using vocal strip and a FX chain preset, Sonar suddenly crashed and is now unable to open the file. It starts to open it but then crashes again. At first it attempted to save a recovery file, but I cannot find one anywhere...

There have been no problems before, and I wonder if the file is corrupted for good, or is there a way to recover or reopen it? The last backup file found (previous version) is from three days and unhelpful - Ineed the one I was working on... please!

    try safe running the project. I think there is this auto save in sonar too that you can enable for next time

    Have you checked in the Audio folder of the folder of that song.  The new tracks might be in there.
    sincerely,

    The safe mode does not help. I seem to be able to open a non-responsive track window with most of the tracks showing a flat line, and when clicking almost anything, the program stops working...

    The audio folder has the audio of the tracks but without information about their exact location (marks, etc), so it seems useless to start to rebuild the whole song.

    Is there anything to do? What the heck happened?
