    It's soooo good to watch old but gold youtube videos, where people used to be more sucinct, teaching things, without asking people to subscribe, or with NordVPN or Skillshare commercials, omg, KZread used to be such a better place before!! Thanks for your tutorial!

    Just got a new H4nPro Wednesday (9/25) for my birthday. Traded a Tascam DP-008EX toward it. Tascam was way harder to get files into the SD card than the Zoom. Moving a track from Stereo to MTR is a little involved but not too bad. You can also just start out recording the first 1/2 tracks in the MTR mode and then add your 1 or 2 tracks and effects as needed. Thanks for posting!

    yeah that should work why not just record all my practice takes onto MTR and save them as MTR then when I do finally get a take I really like I can by pass the process of transferring stereo files to MTR project 🤔

    ok there are so many steps🤐 I thought at first, why not JUST start a new MTR project, I practice songs over and over in stereo mode till I'm satisfied with one take then I move onto another song I what to perfect, but with this technique I can transfer my best take onto MTR then when I'm ready to put in the work I can begin the creative process of multi track recording, thanks 😁 I think I have plan 😃

    Brilliant, thanks a bunch. I bought my H4n yesterday and could not for my life add my 4-channel recording into a MTR project. I could not find how to do this in the manual either. Your video was just what I needed. That said, I believe it is kinda silly of Zoom not to allow me to browse the other directories from the MTR project menu. Not a very intuitive method of importing files to MTR. Anyway, I am indebted to you, thanks again! Edit: Ok, now that I know what to look for I found this part in the manual. You're the best :) Zs

I am also assuming one can bring in a BOUNCED track to the MTR and add two more tracks if needed. Am I correct?

    ZIF files are tiny (probably stands for Zoom Information Format), and is just for the recorder to use internally. The individual tracks of an MTR recording are stored as .wav files in the project folder, which can be opened and edited in the computer
