A whole afternoon of editing GONE!

[Joe25561220277w]

Hi team, 

I really don't know what happened this afternoon, but I spent the afternoon editing, exporting and going about my business. When I was sharing the files I'd edited, I was getting messages back from people to say the files wouldn't play. Audition didn't crash, or show any warnings. 

The .sesx file and the mp3 files that I exported are all absoutely unreadable. I've tried repairing them with all the usual services and they seem to be absolute toast. Trying to open them on Audition returns a 'dat?' error. If anyone has experienced similar, or even better could retrieve the data in the files, I'd be hugely grateful. 

I've attached the main edit below, in case anyone fancies having a go at fixing! 

(I can't upload below because it isn't even recognising it as an mp3!)

How exactly did you do the export? Was it directly from Audition to a remote location?

Thanks Steve, 

mp3 exports from a remote location, via VPN to the network drive at work. I've done this for the last 4 or 5 years without this issue - but I imagine you'd tell me that I should be exporting directly to a hard drive! Best practice! 

I totally get it and it's almost certainly on me, just frustrating when it's never happened before.

Well I'd say that you've either been very lucky or very unlucky. Personally, and based on what others have reported, I'd say lucky...
