Project recovery (desperate)

Okay, so I have three unsaved project files that need recovering. The problem is, when I go to recover them, audacity stops responding. I was able to get them to recover once before, but audacity crashed before I could save them. I have since located the tmp and autosave files associated with them, and archived them to avoid anything happening to them.

The work I have in those files are irreplaceable and I really do need them back. I have the files, and simply need a method to extract what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why did the projects crash in the first place? Is your computer running out of power?

If it is an irreplaceable recording you should export a backup as WAV as soon as you stop recording.

Only the last modified tmp or autosave file should be relevant but whichever file you use it must be named “autosave”.

We can’t guarantee to help, but attach the the two most recent tmp or autosave files for each project. Please see here for how to attach files: https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/how-to-attach-files-to-forum-posts/24026/1 .
