Re: Missing Block Files, can they be recovered?

Re: Problems with .aif/aiff files (Windows 7 OS)

Same issue for me. .AIF files are all static. Here's an example of the data from the file using MediaInfo.dll This is not the same issue, and Gale Andrews will not be able to reply or help you as he died in 2017. Topic locked.

no matter which file ends up being imported last that channel is always completely muffled

Re: Autosave Problem

The part about FFmpeg is a red herring. That only happens because the final check when trying to open a file and failing, says: "If all else fails, suggest FFmpeg". What would normally happen is that on pressing the "Recover Projects" button, the project would be recovered. That'...
