Wave form is present as a graph and absent in the spectral display but not sound

Hi guys,

 

I'm faced with a problem that has really bugged me down and I'm not sure how to solve it. I have an audio file and I have recorded it on two occasions but there is no sound except for a small part that I have recorded it two days ago. I can see the whole waveform but when I switch to spectral display I only see the part that I have recorded two days ago. I've checked the community here but couldn't find a solution to this problem. Tried several times to change the hardware but without any success. Here is the file uploaded on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d8D6hhtmIu66Fv812lAUlWJRfj2y-H6_/view?usp=sharing 

 

I hope someone will be able to help in this matter.

If I open your file, I get silence up to the point where you recorded. But that's all I see as well - none of that earlier waveform is visible. Since this is happening in Waveform view and there is inevitably a temp file involved, I'd suggest relocating your temp file to a different (ie not the default) location and trying again.

 

I should also point out that seeing a waveform is no indication that there's one there - the waveform you see on the screen has come from a .pkf file, not the waveform itself. If there isn't one present, then Audition will generate one automatically from the actual wavefom when you open a file. It is perfectly possible, especially if you re-record something using the same file name, for these files to get mixed up. Normally this is trapped out, but I believe that it may be possible to fool the system - so what is displayed on the screen doesn't represent what's in the actual waveform at all.

Hi Steve,

 

Thank you for the clarification. I guess it's lost somewhere else in my laptop and I don't seem to find it and the only viable option now is to re-record those missing parts.

 

Cheers!
