I’m looking into that now and have the disk image open in a hex editor.

The problem is I am having trouble determining where exactly the file begins in order to extract the data; once I locate it, there will be another problem — in four channel mode the recorder appears to write two stereo files from its buffer, interleaving the data, and I don’t know the exact process it uses to do this. If I did, I could potentially extract the two separate stereo files, and then read them in as raw data.

Any knowledge on how this works for this device or what specifically I should be looking for, ie indicators of which is which?

Thanks,

Hi Nick,

I am having a very similar problem to this, but was recording in four channel mode at the time which is causing a weird echoing / interleaving effect when I pull the audio into into Audacity or Audition.

Do you have any advice or suggestions for handling this? Do you know anyone who has successfully recovered an audio file which was recorded in four channel mode?

I can hear my talent speaking, so the chunks are there, but its distorted and looping at points; reconstruction manually would be very difficult currently.

Thanks,

Can someone please explain to me why the MacCaption software costs as much as a decent workstation? Almost all of my work is trafficked through an intermediary so I would only use such software to do favors, and have no interest in adding it as a service — I was considering purchasing it for a reasonable fee, but this is patently insane. It costs more than pretty much any other software only package, including Maya. I understand from the demo that the software appears pretty feature complete, but its simply not worth it and makes me think it would be worth it to simply hire a programmer to write me a Line 21 FCP plugin and sell that. It seems like there’d certainly be a market.
