Wrong WAV save after a recording session

Hello,


This afternoon I had a professional come to my place to record a voice over on my mic.

Everything went great, and after he left, I even edited his first file. When came the moment to save the files, I save in WAV as usual. But for some reason that never happened before, the sampling was in set 8bit instead of 32bit. Then I closed Audition, and when I got back to it to finish the editing, I realized the mistake because there is a huge white noise on the tracks.

Do you know if there is a way to get back the original track before saving it, kind of a temp file somewhere, before the mistake ?

Otherwise, I'll just have to rerecord the whole voice over from the beginning.

Thanks in advance for your help !

Sébastien

    I'm afraid that once you've saved it, all temp files are gone and there's absolutely no way back (not that there was, even with the temp files) - you have to re-record.

    What I would suggest though is that next time, you record in Multi-track view - the files are written directly to disk and you have to specify the format first, so very little chance of an error.
