If you're programming MIDI/VSTs, and the synth itself breaks whenever you try to load your saved preset. I wish VSTinstruments were more stable.

Eh, I use a lot of "homemade" synths designed by musicians to actually target a specific sound range rather than just texturing my stuff with heavy-lifting general synths, when possible. Some of them tend to be incompatible with project-saving but work fine if you use an internal save function. That makes them too cumbersome to work with if you're reopening your files, though.

You need some sort of version control system, mate.

^ The instrument he's using works fine, doesn't corrupt the data file, it just completely fails to load once you've saved the work, closed the program, and opened it again. It's not something you can avoid by making a special saving system or anything.
Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Damn. So there's no patch to the music program itself available?
