Four-channel projects

* If you want to load these files onto your computer, make sure
that your waveform editing software supports four-channel
files.
Type Structure
STEREOx1 If there is only one stereo channel pair, a stereo WAV file will be created with a name
consisting of the project name and a .wav extension.
STEREOx2
If there are two stereo channel pairs, a folder will be created with a name consisting of
the project name plus an extension of .pjt. In that folder, stereo WAV files will be cre-
ated with names consisting of the channel number and a .wav extension.
Type Structure
4CH A four-channel WAV file will be created with a name consisting of the project name
and a .wav extension.

Limitations on file size

The R-44 can handle files up to 2 GB in size. If the file size reaches 2 GB during recording, the file is closed.
Then, a new file is created and recording continues. When you finish recording, these files appear as
separate projects.

About BWF

In “5 System Setup” (p. 69), under system settings, you can set Project File to BWF so that the files created
during recording and editing will be BWF files. BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) files contain information
about the recording time and recording device (EDIROL R-44) in addition to the data of a conventional
WAV file. The file can be used by waveform editing software that supports BWF.

Caution when copying files from your computer

Be aware of the following when copying files from your computer to the R-44’s SD memory card.
• The R-44 can play only linear PCM WAV files at sampling frequencies of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, or 192 kHz and
bit depths of 16 or 24 bits. It cannot play any other type of file.
• File and folder names containing double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) are not displayed correctly.
• Any files other than WAV files cannot be recognized by the R-44 and will not be displayed.
• Files beginning with “.” (dot) will not be displayed.
• You must not copy files larger than 2 GB into the R-44’s SD memory card. Doing so will make the R-44’s
operation unstable, and in the worst case might even damage the files in the SD memory card.
