What files did Audacity 1.3.12 recover?

Post by akmiecik » Sat Feb 05, 2011 12:39 am

I am on a Vista machine and had Audacity crash right after a critical lecture I recorded.

The recovery of 1.3.12 produced a file with segments of silence.

I have about 630 .au files and, given and estimate of 6 seconds a piece, it looks like all the audio should be there for the entire lecture (although I have about 200 files in the 500k range that seem to have nothing recorded)

I tried the recover tool on the .au files. I put them all in one directory. Looking at the file system, I have an e00 over a d00, d01 and d02 folder.

If I could see what files the recovered .aup is using, perhaps I could find ones that it did not pickup and piece them in. Is there a way to say "list all the .au files the .aup is using" or, it that pretty much what I see in the folders and I am hosed due to the "nothing recorded' files

Any help would be swell, thanks.

Audacity 1.3.12 is pretty thorough with its automatic recovery and will generally recover everything that is recoverable. The down side of that is that if parts are missing then it's pretty certain that they are not recoverable. Do you have any idea what may have triggered the crash?
