I recorded my school concert last night with my H6 Zoom recorder. I used the LR condensor attachment and two more mics connected with XLR cables. When I tried to open the files, it brings up these warnings:
LR Warnings:
Non-Audio data exceeds 100 MB and will not be read
Metadata was found in the file but it is corrupted and could not be read
Mono mic warnings
This file was recovered from an unfinished recording or an interrupted save
Metadata was found in the file but it is corrupted and could note be read
Link to the files in Google Drive
I found that I can still play the two mono recordings in audition, but not Premiere pro. I need help because I need to combine these recordings with video I have of the concert (the cameras don't have as good of audio)

update: I was able to fix the files for the mono recordings, but the LR is still not working

I suspect that your LR file is corrupted, having looked at it and failed to open it as a .RAW file, even using the correct parameters. It looks very much (confirmed by the mono file errors) as though the save wasn't completed correctly. That said, there's a YouTube video where in a moderately unsatisfactory manner, a chap managed to recover one. No, he doesn't know why...

At least your mono files open (with errors, but hey we'll take that). Open both files in Waveform view, and with Tr1, go to Edit>Convert Sample Type and select Channels to be stereo. Click on Advanced and cut the Right Mix percentage to zero. This will give you a stereo file with the left channel populated. Go to Edit>Enable Channels and remove the check from L (it will now go dark). Open the second file (Tr2) and use Ctrl-A to highlight all of it, and Ctrl-C to copy it. Now go back to the first file you created, put the cursor at the LHS of the track if it isn't there already, and use Ctrl-V to copy the second track to the RH channel. Now go back to Edit>Enable Channels and enable all channels. Save the result as a new file. I tried it on your files, and it appears to work fine.

New Update!
I found out how to fix it! Thank you SteveG. Although the video itself didn't solve the problem, I found a comment in that video that showed how to 'rebuild' the file with the H6 Zoom. I found that someone had killed the power before I could properly stop the recording. I found the file, went to 'Menu' -> 'Project Menu' -> 'Rebuild'. This fixed the problem and it plays like it should now. Thank you!
