Corrupted Audio File
2007-10-12 by Gregory
I have a 2-track recording of 90 minutes of dialog, with one conversant on track 1 and the other on track 2. While futzing around with strip silence today, I went to the undo list to undo all my cuts and strips, and got a bunch of error messages about the Audio window. So I shut down without saving, and now when I load the song, both audio files are the same conversant. The file names still say "subject 1" and "subject 2," but the "subject 2" file now looks and sounds like the subject 1 file. I have tried loading them into a new song and rebooting the computer, but the audio file is still wrong. Does anyone know a way I can get the original file back? I never deleted anything - the file just magically changed. If it's a problem with the header information (both files are BWAV) then maybe there is a really low-level audio analysis tool that can recreate the original? I'm stretching here, but don't want to have to repeat the experiment. Thanks, Gregory
