Very important music recording failed

Question

Hello experts!I am a university student. I helped my classmates in music composition class record their final project. However, one of the recording failed for some unknown reason (maybe because I changed the sample rate from 44100 to 48000 before recording). Now, I can barely hear the instruments but they are overlayed by very loud white noise. This recording is very important because we invited a flute player who was a very busy professor, and the performance was perfect. Is there any chance I can recover the recording from the broken recording file?Thank you!

Thanks for replying!
Here's a piece of the original file.

Have a good day!

The two things I can now tell you definitively about this are that it isn't an Audition fault, and also that there is no chance of recovering a usable recording from it, I'm afraid. Even if you boost the level, and apply loads of NR to it, you only end up with faint music in the background, and still plenty of noise.

This actually sounds like a hardware fault, before digitising.

Very unlikely I'm afraid. Also a lot of the noise from your picture could be hum or buzz from a poor connection. You would have to post a sample somewhere like Dropbox for us to listen to to make a full judgement but I wouldn't be very hopeful about the outcome.
