...and disaster struck
I believe I have committed the unpardonable sin and deleted a book narration I have been working on for 3 days (1 day recording and two days editing. I finished it late last night and rendered it over night. This morning I went to look to see if the render was fine. It appeared short for some reason, only 21 minutes instead of 58 minutes in the MP3 files. It played file but the file went to the end of the track and just stayed there at 21 minutes but the audio continued. A suspected somewhat was wrong. I checked reaper and it was there to rerender. So I went back to the MP3 files and DELETED the MP3 rendered version which was not correct and the 4 other small files reaper leaves along with it, a small project file, it's backup and, another small project files (called mp3) and it's backup, also with a mp3 extension.
When I went back to reaper to re-render the file. It was gone. I am going ballistic. Am I a wanker or what? I've looked everywhere. Is there another large backup file somewhere I can recoverer this from or not? At the beginning of the MP3 rendered files there are tons of numbered files, no names, but they are all short files. Normally, I will back up the files to a cd or dvd, after I have rendered them. Any thoughts...or could someone just kick me in the butt. Mitch Leopard/Atlanta
