on average, how big are your projects?

what's the average megabyte size of your projects? ie, if you save your project in a folder, what is the size of your folder?

just curious

7 megs

i dont use projects

i jus save all seqs and songs then the programs individually

i dont really understand them and have never read about them

maybe ill try em out in 06

i think theres a vid on future pros

i work till almost all ramstorage is nearly full... never turn the machine off

damn man. you should do yourself a favor and watch that video.

usualy around 5-6 mb

interesting

that dude on the vid plugged his beat before doing anything to do with pj's lol

always less then 4 megs. i love to chop and use small samples. plus mono helps save sample space seeing how i only have the 16 meg internal memory

interesting.

makes me wonder if i'm keeping extra samples cuz my project folders end up being 30-40 megabytes. i feel like i'm using most of em though.

eh Ant, thanks for teh add too btw...umm mine are really small up to about 2-5M for samples, maybe 1M for drum hits..usually then add further instrumentation via real instrumenst or VSTi's on pC then chop em and throw em back into MPC and sequence...but yeah I like using small elements to create the total picture its a lotta fun..

small samples are sick. all my stuff is chopped REALLY small, all the melody samples are shredded like lettuce

i think it's also because i resample my sweeps and animation from the sp404, these lengthy wav files must take up a lot of space.

who knows, i'll have to browse to find the culprit.

peace

Yeah I usually end up with 30+ meg projects too. It's because I build programs first full of a lot of samples, and only end up using a few of them in the actual beats, so essentially I'm saving a bunch of superflous samples. It's sort of my new years resolution to change the way I build program files.. be more picky at the front end about what samples I put in there, etc.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with huge project files..

Yo Travel... lol i forgot about the smashed animal pic... havent seen it in a while. That ish is nuts... in a funny way.

my projects are seldom above 1-2 Mb.
Sometimes I wonder why I bothered buying the extra RAM extension!

the bird was trying to achieve a level of 128 on one of his mpc's pads!
