| Extract the final mixed track from a Tascam DAW backup disk image. | |
| Finds the audio start offset by detecting the end of the FAT region, then | |
| scans for silence gaps to locate track boundaries and extracts the last track | |
| (the stereo or mono mix) as a WAV file. | |
| Usage: | |
| python3 extract_mix.py <backup.bin> [output.wav] |
User: it looks like backup.bin may be from a tascam DAW in early 2000s. is there any way to recover this audio without access to the machine that created it?
Assistant: Let me start by examining the file to understand what we're working with.
(examined directory listing, README.md, backup.cue, hexdump.txt, convert.sh)
