•
This unit recognizes and groups up to 64 mono WAV files
together as a single take if they have file names in the
format “[name]_[2-digit channel number].wav”.
•
If the channel number has one
digit
, a “0” will be added to
the beginning of the number, resulting in “01” and “02”, for
example.
•
If the 2-digit channel number is “65” or higher in the name
of a WAV file, it will be recognized as a single take.
•
If the name of a WAV file does not have a 2-digit channel
number, it will be recognized as a single take.
