Hi,
Have recently purchased a new recorder where the WAV files get split at 2gb recording at 24/96.
How do I merge/join/combine the 2 files I have in audacity?
Sorry for the dumb question but I can't figure it out.
Cheers
Try opening them both in their own windows then on the first part do a Transport – Skip to end
Go to the second part and Edit – Select – All
Then Edit – Copy
Return to the first part and Edit Past
I've not used Audacity to do this with my recordings but It seems to work when I just tried it

Hi fellow tapers,
This is my first post, so hello to all.
I'm in a similar situation to motr. I've recently purchased a Roland R-05 recorder, and I'm trying to merge/join the files together. I recorded in 24/96 and the recording was split into 3 parts. I've followed Duncan's instructions, that seemed to have worked for motr, but I'm encountering a strange problem. After following the above instructions and waiting for the file to save, I'm left with a 4.61gb file that is only the first 18 mins 59 secs of the recording, the concert was 2 hours 15 mins.
I then went to the faq on Audacity and followed these instructions :-
How do I combine two files into one longer file?
Follow these steps to splice two files together:
1. Import both files into Audacity
2. Select the second one by clicking above the Mute/Solo buttons on its Track Control Panel
3. Choose Edit > Find Zero Crossings
4. Choose Edit > Remove Audio > Cut
5. Place the cursor at the end of the first track by clicking in it then pressing K
6. Choose Edit > Paste.
You can press the green "Play" button to hear the result, and use the File > Export... command to save it as an audio file.
This worked for the first 2 parts, but then when I tried to join part 3 the file I saved reverted back to the above mentioned 4.61gb file at 18 min 59 secs long. Very crazy, but I guess I'm making an error somewhere along the line.
Thanks in advance for any help. I'm feeling very frustrated at the moment.
