Four-channel projects
* If you want to load such files into your computer, make sure
that your waveform editing software supports four-channel
files.
Type
Structure
STEREOx1
If there is only one channel, a stereo WAV file will be created with a name consisting
of the project name plus an extension of
.wav
.
STEREOx2
If there are two channels, a folder will be created with a name consisting of the project
name plus an extension of
.pjt
, and within that folder will be created stereo WAV files
with names consisting of the channel number plus an extension of
.wav
.

Limitations on file size
The R-4 can handle files up to 2 GB in size. If the file size reaches 2 GB during recording, the file will be
closed. Then, a new file will be created and recording will continue. When you finish recording, these files
will appear as separate projects.
About BWF
Each WAV file within a project is in BWF format. In addition to the conventional WAV data, the file
contains information about the recording time, recorder (EDIROL R-4), and marker data. Of course, these
files can be loaded into players or waveform editing software in the same way as conventional WAV files.
Caution when copying files from your computer
Please note the following cautions when copying files from your computer into the R-4’s internal hard disk.
• The R-4 can only record linear PCM WAV files at sampling frequencies of 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz and bit
depths of 16 or 24 bits. It cannot play back any other type of file.
• File names and folder names containing double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese) will not be displayed
correctly.
• Any files other than WAV files cannot be recognized by the R-4, and will be ignored.
• Files beginning with “.” (dot) will be ignored.
• You must not copy files larger than 2 GB into the R-4’s internal hard disk. Doing so will make the R-4’s
operation unstable, and in the worst case might even damage the files in the internal hard disk.
