Topic: Repair a $&%^'d up WAV?

[Sloan Simpson]

I've got a file a friend sent me to see if I could fix.  He was recording with an R-09HR at a rowdy show and got bumped and the machine froze up I believe.  He got a new file started and it has no problems.  The first half of the show is a 280MB file that shows a 0 for sample rate when viewed w/ Windows "Properties"  Opening in both Wavelab and CDWave just shows a full-scale wave of static.

I'm assuming the music is there but the header is possibly screwed up?  Anyone got a quick/easy/free solution to fix this?  The friend/artists are anxious to use it for a bonus track or something along those lines. . .

And you might try opening it as RAW in an editor.  You may need to set an offset, taboot.  Thread around here somewhere about it...hmmm...
