Orphaned .au files

Post by Ray Bobo » Tue Jun 23, 2009 9:37 am

After over an hour of recording, I ended the session, but received a message saying a "project file" was not generated, but that the .au files were in a temp folder. Sure enough, over 800 .au files are in that folder. How do I get them together into one audio file? Is there a way to generate a project file that will look to that temp file and reconnect all those .au files into a single sound track for exporting?

I just found replies to previous inquiries. (A little slow on how this forum works; what can I say). The solution to my problem appears to be here:

You can say, "I understand this is a volunteer forum with elves all over the world. I think I'll help speed things along by answering a few hundred other people's questions myself!"

I personally thank all the Menehunes for what they do. But if I were to answer anyone's questions about this program (or possibly any computer program), things would only get worse for them. But, happily, things have gotten much better for me, thanks to the Recovery Program, which worked beautifully and reconnected all the orphaned .au files into one usable .wav file. Thank you very much.

Lol :D OK then, perhaps when you've gained a bit more experience with Audacity. You may be surprised just how quickly you are able to help other Audacity users.
