Stereo Recording (Stereo Link) - Zoom R8 Operation Manual

Stereo recording (stereo link)

Enable stereo links to treat two adjacent tracks (1/2, 3/4, 5/6 and 7/8) as stereo tracks.
When stereo link is set to ON, INPUT 1 and 2 can be used together for stereo input and recorded to a
stereo track. When recording to a stereo track, a stereo WAV file is created.

● Stereo link changes the setting from two
mono tracks to one stereo track.
● Whatever track number you choose, an
adjacent track will be linked. You cannot
change these combinations.
● To adjust the volume of a stereo track, use
the odd number fader. The even number
fader has no effect. Use the pan parameter
to adjust their relative volume balance.
● Stereo files can be assigned to stereo
linked tracks. The left channel is on the odd
track and the right is on the even track.
NOTE
● If stereo link is turned on for a track that
has a mono file assigned to it, that file
assignment will be canceled.
