Viewing sample size / list ? |
 |
Hi all,
I'm just started messing around with Madtracker 2.
I noticed there's no way to view the size (in bytes) of a sample (eg; piano_C4.wav) which already is in the MT2 file.
Also there's no way to view the complete list of samples in the MT2 file either. I noticed this when, there are more than 1 sample for a instrument. I just thought being able to have an overview of the data of the file would be helpful.
For example, a sample that I use for only 2seconds in the whole song is taking up 5mb. Then I can reduce the sample quality since it's only used for 2 seconds, or do something appropriate.
So the question is : Is there a way to view the size of a sample , and also to view a list of all the samples ?
P.S : What about an overview of effects applied on each channel/track ? The current method I know of is to click on the up/down buttons to change the track number after opening the FX window. (FX icon nearer to the middle left of the screen). |

Why not just cut the excess of the sample off?

You can use the mixer for this. There you see the effects, routings and VSTs linked to each track.
Edit: Deleted some explanations which would make me look like a total fool in the light of Inge's reply. |

MT source files available if requested (maybe)

It's sort of a hidden feature (not really, but not many users will use it often), but between the icons for the pattern and icq view there is an icon for the built-in browser. It provides information about the exact patterns, instruments and samples inside the current mt2-file. |
