Hi – Hoping I can salvage an audio file I was recording as a mono track. I finished recording it in an as-yet-unsaved Project, and then accidentally Xed out the track without closing Audacity. Couldn’t figure out how to get the track back and Undo didn’t work. I saw in one of the Audacity folders there was a temporary project file that had the size and creation time I would expect of a file containing that data. I changed the weird extension to *.AUP and the project opened up successfully but still with no track.
So that’s where I’m at: I have a Project file that otherwise looks like an uncompressed audio file recorded when I recorded it (1+ GB), but with no visible tracks. Doesn’t this suggest the actual audio still exists in there somewhere? If so, any way to recover it? I saw one suggestion involving using the filelog online but unfortunately I’ve since closed the original instance of Audacity and that doesn’t seem to help.
It would be very helpful if I could recover this – thank you so much!
