Wavepad non destructive ?

[Pierre281]

Hello,

In Wavepad I have selected a portion of an audio file and deleted this portion, then I saved the project.

Then I quit wavepad and reopened it on this audio file, but now, how to do if I want to recover the deleted portion ?

Whenever you do an edit on a file, you should use 'save as' and give the edited file a new name, so as not to overwrite the original.

But the original file is always full (if I double click on the file on my desktop, it has not been overwrittened). 

 

Ok, inside Wavepad,  I have "save file as" with a new file name. Then I delete a portion of the file inside wavepad and save the project. 

Then I quit and reopen wavepad and now, if I want to see again the deleted portion, what should I do ?

I apologize for not knowing what to recommend.

I've used WavePad for many years, but never have saved a 'project.'

Once that you save the project this is not going to show you the delete part. in this case you woudl needto load the original Audio File, but make sure that you no overwrite the project.
