Re: Anyone use a Zoom H6 for audio recording
We're talking standard PCM wave files, the type you'd edit with your PC, having said that there are various standards of Wave files and the 24/96 type might be different but in any case the Zoom H6 - given that the SD card is formatted to FAT 32 - is going to have to split the file - whether that file format be Wave or anything else - at some point, using FAT32 a single file can be no longer than 4GB. Its quite possible of course that some recorders might use NTFS format but this is not the default for SD Cards and I doubt whether the Zoom H6 would use it.

Re: Anyone use a Zoom H6 for audio recording
It has to for several reasons. Firstly the standard wave file cannot be over 1.8GB in length. Second, the memory card is formatted to Fat 32 so - nmo matter what the file format used - files can't be any longer than 4GB using the Fat32 file format.

Re: Anyone use a Zoom H6 for audio recording
Hi! I don't have this recording device yet and their could be a few reasons why you're getting multiple files, my H1 did this also however with the H1 there was no way to get around this and I wasn't surprised given the price of the recorder so perhaps there is a setting that can be changed in the H6? I say perhaps because I honestly wouldn't be surprised if their wasn't, normally Wave files have limits of around 1.8GB anyway. So - given you have Goldwave - why not try a more practical approach. You have all your files - 3 of them you said containing your concernt - so why not just open up a new file in Goldwave and paste your files - in the order you need - into the new file, you can then save your work in whatever file format you like after editing or whatever, if you want to save your concert in a single file then I suggest at least FLAC for the master, that way you can make modifications and edits etc without losing any quality and you can always convert to other formats easily.
