How to get an AUP file from the _data file

Post by Lucidious » Sat Jul 05, 2014 3:48 pm

So 2 AUP files lasting about an hour which were deleted by other people. Thankfully I still have the _data files for each of them. Other than piecing the audio files together is there anyway I can have Audacity automatically get the information from the _data folder?

Maybe not so thankfully.

If the shows were edited in any way, no. The work in the_DATA folders is permanently scrambled.

If they are two straight recordings, you might be able to use disaster recovery, but there's no guarantee that the left-right positioning of stereo sound will be correct.

Here is a direct link to the information for recovering an unedited recording:

@Koz: Please post that link where Audacity has not crashed (and so show won't show the Automatic Crash Recovery dialogue).
