When I record dual channel on the F8 I'm getting a wav file with embedded L/R channels that I have to separate into two mono tracks in my NLE. Is there a setting where I can just get two separate mono tracks when dual recording is on? Thanks
The general answer to your question is that under the REC menu, you want to choose the mono WAV file format instead of poly WAV.
However, I don't really understand specifically what you're trying to do, but here are two answers. I think one of them addresses your question.

Are you asking how to make channels 1 and 2 and/or the L/R channels record as mono files? If so, I think the answer is the following menu selection...
REC > Rec to SD1 (or SD2) > Track1-8 + L/R(mono/stereo WAV)
You probably have the last item above set to Track 1-8 + L/R(poly WAV)

If your issue is simply that you don't want to record the L/R channels and you just want mono tracks for channels 1 and 2, then you'd need to set the unit up like this...
To keep the L/R channels from recording to your SD card, go into the menu and make the following selections.
REC > Rec to SD1 (or SD2) > Track1-8(mono/stereo WAV)
Instead of 'Tr1-8(mono/stereo WAV)', you have it set it to either 'Track1-8 + L/R (poly WAV)' or 'Track1-8 + L/R (mono/stereo WAV)'
