title: WAV file data recovery
body: <p>I have a situation where there is a corrupt WAV file from which I'm trying to recover data.</p>
  
  <p>My colleagues have sliced up the large WAV file into smaller WAV files with proper headers. This has produced some interesting results.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Sliced into 1MB segments we get these results:</strong> </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The first wave file segment is all noise.</li>
  <li>The second wave file segment is distorted.</li>
  <li>The third wave file segment is clear.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>This pattern is repeated for the entire length of the file (after it's been broken into smaller files).</p>
  
  <p><strong>For 20MB slices:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The first wave file segment is all noise.</li>
  <li>The second wave file segment is clear.</li>
  <li>The third wave file segment is distorted.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Again, this pattern is repeated for the entire length of the file (after it's been broken into smaller files).</p>
  
  <p>Would anyone know why this is occurring?</p>
