is this a bug or am i trippin?

i just discovered this.. i loaded a 124 mb. stereo wave sample into my mpc, then i converted it to mono and it was 59 mb i think.. i then made a new copy of it converted to 12 bit and then deleted the original one. Now it says i have insufficient memory, but i only have a 60 mb sample in it.. no more. Did i do something wrong or is it a bug ?

edit: oh and yes i have 128 mb ram in this mother..

i just tried to silence a section of the original sample and the mpc crashed

Why are you loding such Huge samples into your MP? I'd use a DAW for anything bigger than 32 Mb. I definitely had problems like that when I was overloading my old MPC 2k...

I dunno if that's a bug or not, but you are definitely trippin' for loading such a gigantic sample

what could you possiby need a 12 minute sample for? that's no longer really "Sampling" at that point

haha it was a record i had recorded into my computer... an 11 minute long jazz joint.. and i hadn't chopped it yet.. hahaha using 12 minute chops aint my style !

i loaded a 102 mb file recently, just cuz i had recorded 2/3rds of a record to put on my laptop to listen to but in doing so found a nice sample.

rather than opening audacity in my laptop i just grabbed the whole bastard, snipped out what i wanted and discarded the rest.

i don't think i've ever juggled 2 monster waves. i suggest breaking it down early into somewhat manageable pieces...sounds like a bug though, the "sleeping giant"

man... that does seem kind of large. what is the norm?

10 sec.

yeah you have to be out your mind loading those size files. OUT OF YOUR MIND!!!

yeah... I figured about 8 - 16 beats... for loops anyway...
