Title: File recovery from SanDisk SDHC
Post by: shakescky on March 17, 2014, 02:31:14 PM
hello,

first time poster looking for some possible assistance with a mishap (and slight lack of judgment).

i was busted the other night recording at irving plaza. not even an AAA pass from the band i was seeing perform and approval from tour manager was good enough for them despite the first night at irving plaza i was busted, showed the pass and given the o.k. i was forced to delete my recording via edirol r09hr's format option in front of security. i continued recording the encore for the hell of it. i searched the forums earlier in the day to find some recovery programs that did not pull up what i was looking for at the time. i decided to use Recuva, which pulled up many deleted audio files from last year and also what i feel might be the two files i was forced to delete on the spot during the gig.

i have attached a file that shows my current situation: two files with an unknown random character file type. i tried renaming the extension to .wav, but no dice on importing to cdwav. the recorder is always set to 24/96 in case you're wondering the file recording settings.

thank you for any help you may have right now. i currently still on the road, so i will check in from time to time when i have internet access.

thank you for such an awesome site.

I wish you all the luck but after formating you should not have recorded anything else or done anything more to the card maybe there is still hope but usually thats not good to record more after formating.

I agree with beatkilla that because you recorded after formatting, the possibility of recovering the files diminishes.

I have tried R-tools R-Undelete before with great success on disks that have failed. On an accidentally formatted flash card, it was able to recover about 99% of the files. It seems to be able to recover things that other programs can't find.

How were you busted?  Not one, but 2 nights?  I've found a bunch of the NYC clubs want you to pay them $500 or more to record there.  The Mercury Lounge tried that on me once (full permission & pass from the band), so I just took down my stand & gear, then stealthed as a backup.  Shitty room anyway, can't believe they wanted to charge.
