COMPRESSED IT EXPORTED IT THEN SAVED IT.

If you used the original filename instead of making a new file and then closed Audacity, you’re stuck. Even if you saved a Project, Audacity Projects do not save UNDO.

Compression is one of the effects you can’t reverse.

Export a WAV (Microsoft) of the original live performance and put that in a safe place (thumb drive, special folder). Then beat up a copy.
