Lyxa: The trick is to treat every file like a living note—don’t let one glitch kill the whole song. Set your DAW to autosave every 10 minutes and keep a rolling backup on a separate drive. Use cloud sync for the most recent takes, and snapshot your session in a compressed archive before any big tweak. And when you hit that last chord, copy the project to a safe folder and run a quick test of the backup by opening it on another machine. That way you can always rewind to a clean version without scrapping the whole album.
