Converting A 4-Channel File Pair To A Stereo File (4-Channel Mode Only) - Zoom Handy recorder H2 Operation Manual

Converting a 4-channel file
pair to a stereo file
(4-channel mode only)
You can convert a pair of stereo WAV files
recorded in 4-channel mode into a single
stereo WAV file.
This lets you adjust the front/rear/left/right
level balance using the 3D panning function
and then create a file that can be copied to a
computer and burned onto an audio CD.
NOTE
• When converting a pair of stereo WAV files
in this way, the quantization and sampling
frequency settings of the resulting file will be
the same as for the original files.
• For burning onto an audio CD, the source
normally needs to be a WAV file with 44.1
kHz sampling frequency and 16 bit
quantization. Therefore you should select
the 44.1 kHz/16bit recording mode when
making recordings that you want to
ultimately burn onto CD (→ p. 35).
