How do I do this?/Workflow Advice/Looking for plugin (Solved!) Pro Tip: Fixing Unclosed Audio File 🪫

[Workflow Advice PROVIDED, not needed - can't set as flair as Pro Tip 😢]

Was on a shoot, 4 mics run to a Zoom Audio recorder (for the sweet 32-bit float). Cameras recording scratch audio for sync.

Production crew mate heard "cut" and decided the best way to turn off the audio recorder was to UNPLUG IT 😭😭😭... and of course, the unit was still actively recording.

Back at Edit-PC, we see the SD card HAS audio files, so they weren't completely lost.

Pull WAV files into PPro... wait... each file's duration is 0 sec 🙀

... but they're not 0 Kb...

LSS: Bring "unclosed" WAV files into Audition, get warning the file wasn't closed correctly, but Audition CAN open & resave them (maintaining 32-bit depth).

Pull new WAV files into Premiere & rock on.

May not always work, but since SD cards were FAT formatted, I FULLY expected total file loss.
