corrupted file

Report · Dec 03, 2023

hi there, is there anyone who can help me?

I had an important interview with my host and I clearly remembered that I had already saved it completely. however, when I tried to open it the next day, the file only saved the very beginning part of the origin (the whole recording should be 1h but only 1 min. left!!)

here is the clue that I think might cause the problem: my C disk doesn't have enough storage to contain a huge volume recording but I didn't see the warning while I saved it.

I have tried any method that I could find on the website, ranging from downloading the transfer, using some software to retrieve the corrupted file to trying to find a backup on my computer. it is very weird, I'm sure that I have saved it completely according to the type of backup i saved but i can't open it since audition showed that it didn't support the form of the type stream

Was this recorded in multitrack view ?
If so email me the sesx file (info at aatranslator dot com dot au)
Hopefully your backups weren't in the cloud so you may find a couple of earlier backups - if so email those sesx files to me as well

unfortunately, it was recorded and saved in wave view,, by the way, the file seemed to be too big to be transferred through email,,, is there any solution or I can email you my file another way?

Off the top of my head an hour of mono audio recorded at 48k would be about 500+mb
A minute would be roughly 8mb
So are you saying you have a 500+mb file which only plays for 1 minute?
If so there are 2 possibilities
You have a minute of recorded data and 59 minutes of nothing OR you have an hour of recorded data but the header of the wav file has been corrupted to say that the end of the audio is only a minute in length
If it happens to be the latter then there is a SMALL chance that rewriting the header may give you the rest of the audio
You will need to send that to me via WeTransfer or Dropbox, etal then I will see if any sort of magic can be weaved - but no promises

I downloaded the file but there is no wav header detail at all - it can't be played not even for one minute

It looks more like a filled that has been zipped/compressed but I can't unzip it if that is the case
What is the size of the file on disk?
This one I downloaded is 3,999,960kb

for the question about the header detail, I suppose that it is because when I tried to do something to retrieve it I changed the extension of the name of this file.

for the other question, i found the file on my laptop by searching C:\Users\86189\AppData\Local\Temp\Adobe\Audition, I thought it might be the backup or some temporary saved file, not very sure whether it is compressed or not
