Mac lost power while Garageband project was open.

I had been adding some extra tracks onto a project I was working on. After getting the mix right I sent it in full to itunes. So I do have an audio file of the competed track. However the macbook lost power before I had a chance to save the garageband project.

When I restarted the macbook the last saved version of the project opened.

Can I recover the garageband project with the additional tracks I was working on?

or....

Can I send the itunes version of the track back to garageband with the various tracks split back out?

Thanks.

Macbook White 13", Mac OS X (10.6.6)

not the project, no, but if you recorded audio, you likely can recover the raw audio files. ctrl-click the project, choose Show Contents, and open the media folder. any existing audio files will be there, drag and drop them into the timeline of a new project.
