So yuo're telling me that the 36MB Stereo piano instrument when loaded into RAM will take only 3MB? PLEASE.. don't be fool... this is somewhat not possible for at least 2 reasons:
1) Lossless audio compression at 12:1 is pratically impossible, you can achieve 12:1 ratio with lossy compression algorithms like MP3 but you'll have a noticeable loss of quality in sound at these high ratios.
2) If this would be the case I could load many supersolo sounds on audya's RAM, instead when loading big files (like the stereo piano) I can barely load 2 or 3 of them before getting out of memory. I tried this on the Audya I had for experiments, so I know what I say...
Note that I tried os ver 1.0, but I don't think they added this "compression" to 1.1.
Do you want to prove it? Simple: make a video where you load the following 3 sounds together:
SUPERSOLO/STEREO_GRAND.INS
SUPERSOLO/POP_ALTO.INS
SUPERSOLO/POP_TENOR.INS
These together are around 96MB in size, if they would be compressed at 12:1 they would take 8MB and could be loaded together.
