The actual recorded data is in temp file(s) on your hard disk. Depending on how you were doing your recording, it is possible - if you are really lucky - that you can get your recording (not the session) out of the temp files.

Find a large temp file from the correct time frame and try reading it as a raw PCM file - you will have to supply sample rate info, but you should know that.

If it comes up jumbled in little pieces, your pretty much screwed as the order stored blocks is not sequential.

Good luck!

zemlin has answered the question, but I'd like to make a request which I think a lot of people here would back me up on. Please do not capitalise every word - it makes it very hard to read.
