Svenne:
Skip this paragraph if you’re familiar with what Purge does. Purge removes all samples from memory and then, on the first play-though, reloads only the samples actually used . This will drastically reduce the used amount of memory.
To get some figures, I did a test on an “ordinary” 5 minute track I’m working on right now. For the bass part I use the Scarabee Rickenbacker library. When first loaded, this library gobbles up 431,72MB. After putting the track through the Purge procedure, the memory footprint had dropped to 15,60MB. That’s quite a difference, isn’t it?
Sounds really cool. But i wonder what happens when you re-open the project? Are all instrument samples loaded again? Or do i have to run through the project for sample detection again?
