Aud 2.3.0, Max OSX10.11.6, Recovering files

[DoctorOblivious]

Just recorded an hour long stereo file from 2 USB mics

How did you do that? Audacity generally only recognizes one "thing" to record from.

Aggregated the 2 USB mics, opened Audacity and recorded in a stereo recording

This is one Audacity Project or show.



They need to be sitting beside each other and have the same name. Double click the Project Manager AUP file and the Project should open.

What do I do in the future to avoid this? I assume just keep the data and aup files separate?

Normally when you save a project, it creates an "AUP" file and a "_data" folder, alongside each other. The "_data" folder contains the audio data, and the "AUP" file contains instructions that tell Audacity what to do with the data.

I'm guessing that you accidentally dragged the AUP file into the "_data" folder. To avoid the problem, don't do that
