The following procedure should only be attempted on a Windows based PC SQ-Drive recordings can appear corrupted if USB media is removed too early or the system loses power whilst a recording is being made. In this situation you will typically find .WAV files in the multitrack or stereo record folder that report a length of 512/1K. Recovery of these files is not guaranteed, but can be attempted using the following process. Firstly, connect the USB device to your computer and find the device in Windows Explorer then After running error-check, the files should appear to be the correct size, but will still be corrupt and not load as .wav files as they are missing headers. Encoding: Signed 24-bit PCM The files should now load correctly and playback. Finally, they can be saved as independent WAV files: Go to File > Export Multiple. Choose “Other uncompressed files” as the Export Format, then click “options”, and choose Header: WAV (Microsoft), and Encoding “Signed 24 bit PCM” > Export. | |
