  repairing a corrupted wav file

  Posted by David Payne on August 29, 2017 at 10:18 am

  Hi all.

  I have a wav file recorded on a tascam DR-10 that I think i might have corrupted by turning the device off too soon after pushing stop. The file plays in VLC but not in adobe premiere or windows media player.

  I have tried following a guide online using audacity to repair it but despite entering the correct details (bit rate etc) I just get static.

  Can anyone suggest a way of recovering the file?

  Here is the file should it be a quick easy job that anyone would like to attempt for my eternal thanks!!
