Need help with Audacity 2.1.3 OS X Yosemite

Hey this is only my second time using Audacity and I’m already having some issues. Over the weekend I recorded a podcast with some friends and now whenever I try to open the file (it’s saved to my desktop). It keeps telling me a debug report has been generated and when I click either cancel or okay the app shuts down. Is there any way to get my project back as well as prevent this situation in the future or is it a lost cause?

Thank you

This is what a project looks like. Do you have both parts and are they named the same?

Koz

Yes both names are the same

Yes both names are the same

It’s a little more complicated than that. They have to have the same name and they have to be in the same location or folder and the AUP file can’t be inside the _DATA folder.

They also have to have the original production name. Open the AUP file in TextEdit and read down the listing. It should look something like this.

That’s XML programming if anybody asks you. Read down until you hit projname=" . That name should match the AUP and _DATA names.

Koz

As well as Audacity offering to generate a debug report, the Mac system should also bring up a window where you can “send a report to Apple”. Select the first 50 or so lines in that dialog then copy and paste them into a message here. That will give us some idea of what when wrong.

In the meantime, are you trying to run Audacity from the DMG, or did you install it in Applications?

– Bill

How do I open it in text edit?

abort() called
Pure virtual function called!

We need more than that. There should be a line that says “Thread 0 crashed” or similar. We need what’s below that, down to the next “Thread” header.

You don’t need to make Audacity crash again. Go to the Utilities folder and open the Console application. Under “User Diagnostic Reports” there should be a line for each time Audacity crashed. Copy and paste from there.

Sorry I wasn’t more clear. What we need looks like this.

(This is from a crash on my machine. You can see that the wheels fall off at line 29)

Are you able to make a ZIP archive of the project and upload it somewhere (such as dropbox) so that we can try to reproduce the problem?
(some other free file sharing services are mentioned in this post: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/how-to-post-an-audio-sample/29851/1)

Sorry I’m not sure how to do that

Select both the AUP file and the _data folder. Right-click and choose “Compress 2 items”. A zip file named “archive.zip” will be created.

Choose a free hosting service from the list Steve provided, upload the archive file to that service, then post a message here telling us how to find it.

The AUP file is damaged but there is a way to recover the project (or most of it).

First, make a backup of the AUP file and _data folder by copying them to another location on your hard disk (for example, your Documents folder).

Open the Radio 4.aup file in TextEdit and look for these lines near the end of the file:

<waveblock start="2359296">
		<simp/var/audit/20171008143535.not_terminatedmin="-0.146148" max="0.240396" rms="0.011953"/>
</waveblock>

Delete those three lines and save the file.

Open the project in Audacity. You will get two warnings.
The first will be “Project check found faulty sequence tags”
Check the radio button for “Continue with repairs …” then click the OK button

The next will be “Warning - Orphan block files”
Leave the radio button “Continue without deleting …” checked then click the OK button.

Do View > Fit to Window then View > Fit Vertically to see the entire project.

Note that the left and right channels of the third track are different lengths.

However, the content of the left and right channels appears to be identical up to the point where the gap occurs
To fix this, click on the Track Dropdown Menu of the third track and select “Split Stereo to Mono”.
Now delete the shorter (lower) of the two mono tracks by clicking the “X” button in the track control panel.

Do File > Save Project As … and save it with a new name.

There may still be a gap in the third track, but I think this is the best we can do.

I’ve never seen an AUP file and _data folder damaged in this way. Can you remember what you were doing when you finished the recording and saved the project? Were you using a laptop? Did you close the lid while the project was saving?
– Bill

Here’s a repaired version of the project with as much data salvaged as possible: http://link.dropsend.com/wf/click?upn=M-2F99uep-2BHZK7hDmO4f-2FSJtZz5s7hz4S3W-2FIiTOzVczINB-2Bube2Sg5SkTskEskO1xAYC-2BTTHGhP8efQg1YuEd-2FA-3D-3D_OZr-2B0rhkYprMMRAdglAeFp0L48aAbKy0YFCCiV0i0i3LIB4Er5biw0yZrdi5wqRBz6Ly2P-2BTkWZnp9AtlanQBQ3KQD1qzm-2BEjTQ-2FDOIM4PK-2Bt1CLnEqekiOZsBOHm3tWORpPcwrJdBEsy-2BaGm-2Bn-2BICbVvu3akuXMb2hxHTaPGjdFYZmMZBJGZQq2GLeB3kgQKRyyhS2rGwL9ZDG4VgI0Xe-2BvQYw1gihQF-2FQ3Rvo3-2BSjKNv158IgQmByaQIJPreRDl-2BZSic-2BHjq0fwy5OQE9w8g-3D-3D

I’ve never seen corruption like this before either, so I’d also be interested to know how it happened.

Thank you so much for all of your help Bill and Steve I finally got it back! To be honest I have no idea what happened all I did was save the project and put it on my desktop. Is there anyway I can prevent this in the future?
