Thank you so much Karl! So it’s about 90 minutes of concert straight through, and I recorded it to 5 mono tracks on the R16. It was 3 amps and a stereo mic pair of overhead cardioids. I recorded to a 32 GB Transcend SD card and didn’t record anything else on it afterwards. Like I mentioned, when importing the raw data I can hear the entire concert, but with the interleave multitrack issue of course. I created an image of the card (DMG on mac) once I got it back to my office. So is there a way to provide you a smaller file instead of the full sd card image? Can I save the raw audio data out of Adobe Audition maybe as a smaller file so you don’t have to get the whole 32GB DMG image? Additionally, I recorded a 5 channel (same exact setup) test clip which was 30 seconds to have as a proper reference. Do you need that 32GB image as well or is there a way to provide you with that reference track smaller also? Feel free to contact me offline at ben@runawaypro.com. Thanks again!

Hi Karl,

I’ve got a “lost” Zoom (in my case the R16) 5 channel multitrack file that was recording a concert and was unplugged accidentally by one of the musicians. I’m able to recover a wav file using the import of raw data feature in both Audacity and Adobe Audition, but the file is interleaved since I recorded 5 channels. It sounds fine except for that. I’ve tried your suggestion of opening in a hex editor after comparing the data to a properly recorded 5 channel file, but this is super complex for me. Anyway, I’ve got a frantic client who is needing to know if recovery of this audio is even possible. Can you help? I’d be happy to pay you.

Just to follow up, Adobe know about this. I just got this response from my bug report:

Hey All,

Sorry for the troubles. We believe we have reproduced this issue and are working on getting it fixed. Please stay tuned.

I am also having P2 import problems on just about all my audio using premiere/prelude. Seems like Adobe isn’t recognizing certain spans. Like others here, it just flatlines after a while. My only fix to this point has been to go into the P2 Viewer Plus software and copying the clips from there into my local folders. Weird. This is so annoying!

Nope. Just reviving an old topic here. I had hoped this would be possible, and I personally feel that saying “4 channels” of input is false advertisement. But it’s not possible. I just got this deck after ordering it last September, and they obviously didn’t use the delayed delivery time to enable any extra software features. Stupid BCC seems to have taken their company over.
