Help !!!

[Gale Andrews]

If you don't get any success with what I'm explaining below, you can make a copy of the .aup file and e-mail it to me together with the complete error log saved as a text file. That might help further discussions. The address is gale_AT_audacityteam_DOT_org (replace _AT_ with "@" and _DOT_ with "." as for a normal e-mail address). This may be a good idea anyway because for one thing, I don't understand this line in your errors:

Code: Select all

 Warning: Bloc de fichier orphelin : (C:Documents and Settingssons Inde1er montage''_datae00d00e0000062.au)

The above suggests your _data folder is called 1er montage" and it can't be because " is illegal in file names on Windows. Is your _data folder called 1er montage?

If you send the log it would be easier if it was in English (click Edit > Preferences: Interface and change the language to English). To your questions:

How do I "check the aup to see where it suggests an .au file is" ?

Make a backup copy of the .aup then open the original in a text editor. You have at least eight folders "d01" to "d08" inside the "e00" folder in the _data folder. The fourth numeric character in the filename of the .au file (for example, 8 in e0008932.au) tells you that e0008932.au is in the "d08" folder (according to the .aup file). So if it was actually in the "d07" folder, moving it to the "d08" folder would restore it. I'm not saying that has happened but it could have done.

I also come across a lot of .auf files

If you have .auf files in the project, that means you imported a WAV or AIFF file into the project without copying that WAV/AIFF into the _data folder. Therefore the project depends for its audio on having that file available in the path you originally imported it from. The .aup file will give the path to the .auf file at "aliasfile=" to right of the name of each .auf file.

If you had made edits to that original audio but the aliasfile was missing, then the waveform would be silenced at that point. But you said the error log shows only orphans and missing data files, so I assume this isn't a problem.

Another thing you can do if you have a good text editor is to get it to count the number of instances of .au" in the .aup file. If you have the same number of .au files somewhere within the _data folder, then you just have to move them around until they are in the correct folders inside the _data folder.
