Garageband seeing 16 bit wav files as 8 bit.

Question

Garageband seeing 16 bit wav files as 8 bit.

I am using Garage band 11. I have a session with speech and music. I came back to edit it and it would not open saying the audio was 8 bit. It was not it was wav and 44.1/16 bit. I opened the package contents and checked the wav files and they played fine. So how and why did Garageband suddenly see then as 8 bit?

I lost my whole session.

And ideas

GarageBand (Mac) '11

i don't know the "why," but all is not lost yet.

create a new project and drop the audio file into the timeline of the new project. if it really is a 44.1k 16-bit aiff file, then it should import into the new project.
