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.

I never knew that a .wav file could not be more than 1.8gb in length

would be more than that.

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.

All 3 files have audio right? because if they do and you didn't
touch the recorder the whole time this suggests this somehow
and this is news to me it automagically splits files. If that's
the case peese out my friends I don't know. What I thought of
though is that remember this is a multy channal and multi track
recorder. So some how it could be that you armed the other XLRs
without meaning too. But na from what you just said I guess it
can split files after all.

Hi all.
I have a nice Zoom H6 digital hand recorder, and although it
is a lovely machine in terms of it's quality, it's a pig to
use if you are blind.
On Saturday, I recorded a 2 hour concert at my local village hall.
The Zoom created three files, not one file.
In Goldwave, for example, you can tick the box titled
Unbounded within settings so that you can record a file of any
length.
My zoom must have a similar function, but I cannot find it.
I don't want to end up with three files after only 2 hours of
recording. I only require one file.
Is there anyone who knows what I'm talking about and can help
me set up my Zoom to make a single file of any length.
Thanks very much.
Very best wishes.
Andy.
From Scotland with Love.
