lost all my work

Question

I was just working ALL DAY on an audiofile and Audition told me it had reached its limit of data it could use and wouldn't save, so I had to close Audition and sure enough, absolutely none of my work was saved. Is there a way I can recover this?

And before you ask, the answer to whatever "depends on your settings" questions are going to be "I don't know". I was recording stuff with Adobe Audition and it suddenly wouldn't save and I want to see if I can get it all back or if I have to do that WHOLE DAY OF WORK over again. And also if there's a way I can prevernt this from ever happening again.

I only have one question, and it's not about settings. Were you recording in Waveform or Multitrack? If you were recording in Waveform view, and you filled the buffer space available (which would certainly give you that message), then yes, you've lost the lot - that isn't recoverable. If you were recording in Multitrack, then that would have been direct to the final file, and even if you get a crash whilst this is happening, you can generally recover the recorded file up to that point.

Recording in Waveform view simply isn't worth the risk unless it's something short and easily repeatable.
