 In this tutorial we will walk through combining multiple recording objects. Sometimes this occurs due to hardware
 settings (e.g. Intan software has a default setting of new files every 1 minute) or the experimenter decides to
 split their recording into multiple files for different experimental conditions. If the probe has not been moved,
