  Wav file is sounding really odd after being recovered from a corrupted SD card

  Hey,

  I stupidly pulled out an SD card from my mac as it was in the middle of uploading to WeTransfer. I inserted the card to try and upload the files again at a later date, however the car was not able to be read by the mac anymore.

  I used a data recovery programme to copy the corrupted data off the card and managed to open the file in Audacity by using the FILE>IMPORT RAW DATA option. The audio played back… YAY! However, it sounded sped up and distorted… BOOOO!

  I tried many different settings when importing into Audacity, however it either played back the same quality or just static.

  I know the file was recorded at 44.1 16bits using a Zoom H4n recorder. I’ve attached a clip of the recovered audio to this post. If anyone is able to have an idea of how to restore this type of corruption I’d really appreciate the suggestions!
