Help - It seems my .aup and my Data folder won’t communicate. (Mac - Mojave 10.14.6)
They are both in the same place, one beside the other.
This happened after a crash due to low memory.
It has been a long and arduous mixing process with lots of data and I need this! Please.
PLease help!!! Running Audacity 2.3.2

I can’t understand why it won’t load my Data Folder upon recovery. Please help!!!
The last couple of lines of the log indicate the problem:
22:09:11: Error: Could not parse file “/Users/serbancatona/Library/Application Support/audacity/AutoSave/Wirkungsquantum - 2020-04-03 18-17-02 N-785.autosave”.
Error: Could not load file: “/Users/serbancatona/Library/Application Support/audacity/AutoSave/Wirkungsquantum - 2020-04-03 18-17-02 N-785.autosave”
“Could not parse the file…” means that Audacity is not able to understand the data in that file. It is most likely because the autosave file is corrupt or incomplete.
How did the crash happen? What were you doing at the time of the crash? Did you shut down the computer while Audacity was running?
Running out of memory is a very bad thing for any program. It is likely that running out of memory will cause the autosave file to be incomplete. I expect it will be impossible to recover this project.
