We failed to finalize.

My band had the studio today. After many hours of blinding fury, we managed to finish recording all tracks. We burned the song from the ADAT to a CD-R Music CD, but it failed in the finalization. I still have the disk, but it is obviously unreadable. Is there any way to recover or save the data on the disk? We need this song.

Bump so someone can help Bones D:

Does the CD-R contain the failed file? or does it contain the source files?

[Bones4]

As far as we know, the actual song is on the disc. You can also tell by looking at the disk. However, the disk is being read as a blank disc. We know it's not blank.

To answer your question, I'm not entirely sure. I want to find what's on the disk.

That sucks. Try using a program used for recovering data on Harddrives on the CD, that might work.

Even a failed file should appear on the disk if it was written to it. It's possible the program didn't write anything to the disk since the file failed to compile.

Also, generally disks are burnt in real time so you'd still have had to burn the song onto the disk after compiling.

Basically, you're forgeted. Even if you do find the failed file you likely won't be able to reconstruct the source material. Better schedule another session.

The file was burned to the CD. But I agree with RW, your forgeted. Hope the studio didn't cost too much.

I found the file. It's 11 seconds of silence with one note in the middle.

Damn.
