I have sound forge 16. I recorded an audio file and I guess I closed the program without saving anything. When I reopened it, there was no option to recover anything. Is it lost forever?????
Hi @John-Carney.
Assuming you have Sound Forge Audio Studio 16, Open "Options> Preferences> General" to see where your recorded and 'Temp' files are being saved to. I believe the default is:
C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\MAGIX\SOUND FORGE Audio Studio\16.0\
The 'unsaved' file(s) 'may' be in there .. if SF is not set the clear them on close or done manually.
FWIW, To help prevent this from happening again, enable the "Confirm on Close" alert option in the 'Options> Preferences> General' settings menu.
btw, the AppData folder contains system files and is normally hidden.
I just upgraded to 16, so there is t much in there and NOTHING that looks like an audio file.
I just upgraded to 16,
Does that mean you recorded the audio on a previous version of SF or something else?
It would have a <.tmp> file extension.. If it is not there, try Recuva or another file recovery app,. If you just closed Sound Forge after recording it, and did not do any kind of editing on it .The data could have been overwritten as well either way.. it may be gone.
btw, your PC may be set not to display files with the <.tmp> extention as well.
