Need urgent help finding a recording

Hi! I need urgent help finding a lost recording. I was recording but had to play pause after a minute. Then I continued recording for an hour. I checked multiple times during that hour that it was indeed recording and it was. However, when I went to export the file, I only have access to the minute before the pause. Please help!!

Hi Mcalaf

Did you save the original in Audacity’s own format - *.aup3?
Did export the recording as a *.wav?
Did you export as an mp3?

If you have the original recording try exporting again as a wav file.

I checked multiple times during that hour that it was indeed recording and it was.

How did you pause and resume and how did you check it was recording?

You can get stuck with all your indicators running and think you’re recording, but the only sure indicator is the larger of the time windows is advancing.

Press “P” to pause recording and “P” again to resume. Is that what you did?

I think if you press P and then R, Audacity doesn’t resume, or may start a new track under the first one. You still have all your work, but it’s in two tracks now instead of one. That can be fixed, but not if you closed Audacity.
