[tylerstringer]

Thank you. I will try this Monday. Have a great weekend.

Okay, moved folders other than your list of 40 out of the Data folder but a curious difference remains, the sequence of the folders is different.
In my folder it reads d00, then next goes into d0a, d0b, etc until d01. On your list, the d0a, d0b, etc come after d09 and ends before d10.
And then in my folder directly after d01, it starts with d1a and goes through d1f and then goes do2 through d27 whereas your d1a - d1f is between d19 and d20.

When I try to open it, I get the faulty sequence error once again. After a long pause, it opens to the 25 + hour mark where the original file ended and the whole project is once again blank.

Any other ideas? Thank you.

I think this is only a question of how the directory is sorted.

When I try to open it, I get the faulty sequence error once again. After a long pause, it opens to the 25 + hour mark where the original file ended and the whole project is once again blank.

OK I think this could be because I did not adjust the "numsamples" value in lines 7 and 15374 which gives the total number of samples in each channel. It should total the "len" values for the total number of waveblocks in each channel. We now have 5120 waveblocks per channel and each channel has a "len" of 262144 samples, so multiplying the two values (5120 and 262144) gives us a "numsamples" value of 1342177280. Try that as per the attached.

I also figure the "h" value (horizontal position) of the project needs changing in line 3 of the AUP because it may currently lie after the end of the trimmed project, so I changed it to 0.0000000000 (the start of the project). I'm hoping the "zoom" value will still be OK and will probably fit the project to the window.

I will try this tomorrow... You are being incredibly helpful... Thank you.

8:27:17 is now a file! We have one-third of the file. Is there a way to get the other two thirds? The whole file is like 25+ hours. We promise to give you guys credit for the help and the software credit for recording the Guinness World Record breaking attempt! We are so thrilled today at this progress!

Good. If you have not already exported that audio to MP2 or MP3, please do so now.

I was always mildly optimistic you could recover an unedited, overlong recorded project by splitting the project into parts. This is better and quicker than recovering (in your case) 30 WAV files without using the AUP, and even then (probably) having the left and right channels transposed in places.

The method we are using here is however probably more difficult to do.

Anyway, we now need to make two more projects, and obviously the name of those two projects will need to be different (but as always their AUP and _data folder will have the same name).

Here are the steps. Create folders called (without quotes) "worldrecordpodcast2_data" and "worldrecordpodcast3_data".

In each folder, create an "e00" folder (e and two zeros)

Open "worldrecordpodcast2_data" then the "e00" folder inside that. In "e00", place the following 40 folders "d28" to "d4f" inclusive (don't worry if you cannot select them to copy all at once):

Code: Select all

d28
d29
d2a
d2b
d2c
d2d
d2e
d2f
d30
d31
d32
d33
d34
d35
d36
d37
d38
d39
d3a
d3b
d3c
d3d
d3e
d3f
d40
d41
d42
d43
d44
d45
d46
d47
d48
d49
d4a
d4b
d4c
d4d
d4e
d4f

Now right-click over that e00 folder you just added those 40 folders to, and choose "New Terminal at Folder". Alternatively, open a Terminal and cd to that folder. In the Terminal, type:

Code: Select all

 
ls -R -lrt > list2.txt

Now open "worldrecordpodcast3_data" then the "e00" folder inside that. In "e00", place the remaining 39 folders "d50" to "d76" inclusive:

Code: Select all

d50
d51
d52
d53
d54
d55
d56
d57
d58
d59
d5a
d5b
d5c
d5d
d5e
d5f
d60
d61
d62
d63
d64
d65
d66
d67
d68
d69
d6a
d6b
d6c
d6d
d6e
d6f
d70
d71
d72
d73
d74
d75
d76

In the Terminal, type:

Code: Select all

 
cd ..

to navigate to the next directory up, or:

Code: Select all

cd

to navigate to the root of your user folder. From there, cd to wherever "worldrecordpodcast3_data/e00" is (the e00 folder inside "worldrecordpodcast3_data"). Alternatively, quit the terminal, right-click over that e00 folder and choose "New Terminal at Folder".

In the Terminal, type:

Code: Select all

 
ls -R -lrt > list3.txt

Please attach list2.txt and list3.txt.

Ok I plan to do this but I have a morning appt so this may tomorrow afternoon here in Calif or perhaps the next day. Thank you so much for your help! This is really cool of you!

[tylerstringer]

By the way, I immediately exported an audio file before doing anything. I have learned my lesson on that score now

[tylerstringer]

Here is the list 2 txt file

[tylerstringer]

And here is the list 3 file. Thank you!
