I need help getting a corrupt .Aup file to find it’s data samples.
Audacity 1.3 Beta was used to record, as the computer used was windows xp and had no internet connection for some time.
I had the saved file open and playing, when my pc crashed, and the hard drive went into RAW format.
so automatic recovery was not an option.
I left everything untouched, and hooked it up as a slave drive, with a new master hard drive installed, I then used Yodot hard drive recovery to get my files back.
I had a audacity 2.0 on a usb, so I installed it on the new hard drive and loaded up my files, all files are intact, and copied exactly as they sat in the old hard drive, nothing re-named, nothing moved, and everything worked as far as retrieval, except 1 song.
It attempts to load, but has deformed wave lines and spots of silence through out, and if you try to play it, it will crash.
if you export it as a wav. it will not be music anymore… lets say it that way lol
I loaded up some of the samples out of the data folder, and they “SEEM” intact.
so I would imagine the samples are all ok, but the .Aup can’t load them correctly.
big issue is the tracks have been panned out in stereo for the hook, and background effects.
so piecing the mono samples together is not an option.
below is the report I receive when loading up my .Aup file.
