Help!!

[Mad Hatter]

I recently had a hard drive with some rather large sessions on it crash. I got the data recovered off the drive by a professional data recovery service, but I am not having trouble reading the sessions. Every time I try to open and play a session, it says "Cannot complete request because of trouble parsing audio file _____________".

When I look at that audio file from the workspace browser, it says that "file Type" is "unkown". I opened the file with SoundHack, and it said that it is a headerless file. I am not very familiar with SoundHack, but does anyone know how I can re-write the header? I know the sample rate and bit depth of all the files, but I don't know how I could add this data to the header.

Does anyone know of another utility besides SoundHack that lets you alter headers?

Thanks,
Buck

It should be pretty easy with SoundHack. I've never used SoundHack but from what I've read in the manual, it should accomplish what you're looking for. Here is a link to the manual:

There is a small section for "header change." Good luck.
