Audio File Recovery - Showing Zero bytes on SD Card
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 10. 2021
- I was using the Zoom H4n at an event to record audio. It was on top the Dj's speaker and it rattled off and the impact of the zoom h4n hitting the ground caused it to power off rendering a 0 bytes file. This may also work if you were to pull an sd card out while still recording.
Programs you need:
Data Rescue- www.prosofteng.com/windows-da...
Audacity - www.audacityteam.org/download/
VLC (to see import setting) - www.videolan.org/vlc/
1. Use Data rescue to make a "clone" of the card with the audio file on it.
2. Create a disk image of the clone using Disk Utility.
3. Import the .dmg file you created into Audacity as a raw file
4. export recovered file - Zábava
you are a genius!!!!! save my day!!!thank you from Argentina
THANK YOU so much for this. You really helped me out.
This worked for me too! Thank you.
Thank you!!! You save my life!!!
really beneficial thanks
Thanks a lot!
If I want to do this on windows, do you have an alternative for disk utility?
thank you so much
🙌🏼
This is getting me close but different parts of the audio (on different attempts) are blown out when they pop up in Audacity - even sections that I have clean.
Hi there... for some reason, the Clone process makes the new USB card unreadable, on my mac, even if I tried at the second attempt to format the card before processing.
Do you think I can try to recover the 0 bytes data directly from my original H4N SD card? Thank you.
Does it work on the latest MacOS? I keep on getting errors
Hi! Thank you so much for this. Good news is that I could recover the 0 byte files.
But I recorded a DJ set in 4CH Mode and now the crowd sounds and the system sound have morphed into one, so every 2,887 seconds it switches and to split them takes 20 mins each 15 seconds :(
Do you have any tips how I could export both files separately?
Ahh man… that sucks… I really don’t know how you would do that… ahhhhh. At least it’s there but I feel for the time it may cost ya.
ohh no so you think I need to use a non-free solution?@@JRESHOW
Hi @venussnippel ... please what were your Import Raw settings in Audacity? I also recorded in 4CH Mode with a microphone connected in the first XLR input of my H4N, but all i get in Audacity is an intense white noise result.
I have tried doing this could you please help me, bro I have a H4N same situation happened to me i have a windows computer data recovery must be different than years ago cause the demo wont let me recover anything, I need help
Can we do the same for zero bytes mp3 files ?
ive tried until it failed to create new image on disk utility. anyone faced this? thanks.
what if the audio file is mp3?
will this work if I did a format to my card and lost the audio file?
Ewwwwe…. I’m not sure… have your recorded anything on it since? There is a way to recover if you haven’t yet… I think it might, not 100% sure..
@@JRESHOW No. I haven’t. As soon as I format ed the card I ejected it. It was by mistake and I deleted 1:15 min of audio from my Zoom H5 recorder. I tried Disk Drill and at least other 5 software and nothing
@@sevillagroupstudio I would try it.
Hi there, I have watched your video and as I am on windows and not MAC i cannot take a disc image and i cannot get the same data as you. i recorded on my Zoom H4N and the battery ran out. my file which is 40 mins long is zero bytes and i have spent 6 hours trying all the ways and means. i wonder if you can help me. can i send you the file? can you do it? i am so beside myself. i am in such a hurry and now i am distraught. you made this 2 years ago. are you even still on the utube. i will google you and find out. i am lara and i need HELP please xxxxx
same thing happened to me with the same recorder and i just keep getting weird feedback noise with some instances of bits of the audio playing (but VERY distorted / unusable) - i tried using 45 as the setting and it kind of worked for the files that still work, but for the zero byte files they're still unusable. i have no idea what to do either
does this work on windows?
Yes!
