takev Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hi, I have had a few customers where an audio edit application would corrupt Boom Recorder audio files during import. Always make a copy of audio files before importing them into any application. The audio edit application would move the audio in the file to earlier as it created a shorter audio header. If the audio edit application would crash or the import would fail half way through this process, the audio file would get corrupt. The header would be incorrect and therefor audio applications are not able to read in the file anymore. Also the audio in the file would get chopped up half way through and the two audio segments may also have a different alignment. Therefor even when importing the file as raw audio could only retrieve half of the audio. My new Audio Rescue application would open a file. - If it is a wav file it may be able to get some information from the header. - You then select the sample format, sample rate and number of channels. - When you press rescue, the application will search through the complete file for audio segments and guess its alignment. You then get a choice to save each segment. The resulting audio files are really basic, none of the metadata that was in the original file is maintained. You can download the application here: http://www.vosgames.nl/downloads/ I hope this application will one day make someones day less rotten. P.S. This application is different from BR File Fixer, which would completely fix a corrupt Boom Recorder audio file due to a power failure or god forbid a crash with Boom Recorder.
