I believe the standard track order for Quad is L, R, Ls, Rs, but I
can’t quote an authority for it.

<div class=""><p class="">Hi, All,</p>
I was asked to digitize a small collection of the early
work of of an electronic music composer from the 1960s
and 1970s. The person sponsoring the work would like to
know how to possibly distribute these recordings,
perhaps for sale, but is interested in preserving them
for as long as possible.
<p class="">The obvious suggestion is WAV files in a
trusted digital repository. I already have the sets of
4 mono WAV files at 192/24 that I made. The question
is "now what?"</p><p class="">One friend says he doesn't know much about
the mechanics, but his Oppo player will handle just
about any released quad he's found either on an
optical disc or on a thumb drive downloaded.</p><p class="">Are there any standards for formatting
multichannel WAV or FLAC files (both are capable of
this). The composer's standard was starting at rear
right (1) going clockwise to front right (4). My few
1970s recordings in quad were 1,2 and 3,4 for
front/rear--I think--though the one quarter track one
I did was perhaps LR LF RF RR to keep the front
channels away from the edges--I haven't seen that tape
for years, but I may still have it. I was fairly good
with metadata from the start.<br class="">
</p><p class="">Is there any ISO standard for 4.0
distribution?</p><p class="">Any help/suggestions on how to do the
"right" thing would be appreciated! I have spent time
searching, but I'm not finding the right keywords, I
guess.<br class="">
</p><p class="">Thanks!</p><p class="">Cheers,</p><p class="">Richard<br class="">
