kathy125 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 My computer died while I was saving a 2-hour podcast. Is there any way to retrive the file?

djakober Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 K, I don't have an answer for you, but if you create a support ticket at WavePad Tech Support I am sure they can help if there is any decent solution. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebutters Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I'm getting this a lot too. I work a podcast regularly and it's a great piece of software but it keeps crashing when you try to edit near the end the the file (this is not the first time it has happened). I'm editing MP3's too so saving is a time-consuming hassle to save periodically. After 2-3 hour grind of editing, it's not something you want to see. It is reminiscent of writing essays in school/university days... Is there an auto-save feature? If there isn't, I would strongly urge you to implement one like MS Word. Feeling numb at the moment.

K the only obvious suggestion would be to work on smaller parts of the file find a convenient spot to cut then make a folder for it and number it/them accordingly I feel your pain...wish I had a better answer...but that's it.

I know the feeling...it was a while back but yeah, that sinking feeling of all that lost work...you wanna scream!!!! obviously work on copies or have copies, but like I told the other poster ya gotta work on smaller chunks , then stitch them back together and saving word brings back nightmares too....not from a crash, but an inadvertent bump to the wrong key lost all the previous typing and editing and naw, word saves way faster than audio files....no can do on audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
