Compressed Samples in S2.0 and SDX ?

I was wondering if the samples in S2.0 and the SDX expansion packs are using compressed data ?

I don’t mean the recording of the samples – I mean the actual sample data itself…

EG : The BFD Evil Drums pack is 69.4 GB whilst the SDX version is 35GB – which even to a dummy like myself would suggest a compression ratio of 2:1

Unless of course they reduced the level of the hits in the SDX version…

Anyway – maybe someone might have the inside track on this a be able to enlighten me…

Thanks…ajw

Yes. We have been using lossless compression in our sound libraries
since the release of EZdrummer 1.0. We even had it earlier than that
in Superior 1 but only in RAM not on disk. We call it TPC.

OK..Thanks for the reply….So is the compression ratio 2:1 ? EG : an SDX that shows 17 GB on the HD is really 34 GB of uncompressed sample data ? ajw

It is usually something around a factor of 3 for TPC 1.
