My Skype recording does not fully show up in Audition CC

[deannab11147820]

So for my podcast I interviewed someone on skype. At the end of the recording I played it back in Skype and the whole hour was there. Now when I saved it and opened it up in Audition CC, the audio stops after like 8 minutes. So basically for the first 8 minutes there is audio and waves and for the rest of the 52 minutes there is silence and no waves. I have no clue what I am doing wrong and I did convert it from an MP4 to and MP3. Here is a photo of what it looks like. Can I get some help?

How exactly did you make the recording? Some skype recorders have limitations (that you aren't always aware of until it's too late) unless you pay for them... on the face of it, this doesn't look like an Audition problem at all.

I called the person on voice call and Skype has a new option to record the conversation. So it was right through skype. Then I downloaded it onto my laptop and opened it in Audition.

Well Audition knows and shows that the audio file is 1 hour long. So it has opened it OK but, as you have found, the file is empty for the last 50 minutes. So something must have happened to the file when you did the conversion. What did you use to convert from .mp4 to .mp3? Also it seems odd that you didn't record the Skype interview to a standard audio format in the first place? Does your original .mp4 file still open and play OK back in Skype or any other media player?

it still plays fine in Skype and I used Audition to change it from an mp4 to an mp3.
