Thanks for letting me join, I’m new to a lot of this stuff so forgive me if I ask stupid questions.
Windows 10
Denon DN-300R recording device SD card
Church service
Recorded service could not open on any of my computers, then I saw that I could import Raw Data in audacity was able to down load.
I have worked for four hours on this recording and have gotten the music to sound like music but the speech sounds like a fast Donald duck.
This was the first time our new youth pastor preached so I am really trying to save this file any help would be appreciated.
This SD card has 10 - 12 recordings on it all before and after are fine. The complete system shut down just prior to this recording (by it’s self) no problems since. File to large to upload 369MB wav…Help
If you reduce the the playback sample-rate it will be sound less like a fast Donald-duck.
(That’s the digital-equivalent of playing audio tape slower, which affects both speed & pitch)
You can select the sample-rate in the import-raw dialogue window, e.g. try 22050Hz instead of 44100Hz.
From an uncorrupted recording from the same device you should be able to learn the format it uses,
e.g. via MediaInfo.

MediaInfo may not work on the corrupted file, but if it doesn’t you can check a good file to find the sample rate, number of channels, and bit depth (and hopefully it will be the same).
The playback speed will be affected by the sample rate and number of channels. If the bit depth (i.e. 16-bits) is wrong you’ll get noise/garbage and you can get garbage if the offset is wrong.

BTW - Although you had a problem, a dedicated recorder like that is almost always more reliable than a computer… Computers are the least reliable things we own and there are lots of ways to get something configured wrong.
And, if you are recording critical events where there’s no chance of “take two” it’s best to have a backup system recording in parallel.
