Get to the Ch1 files...

HLAC is the ch files...

beg your pardon --- easily get to your CH1 files on disk...on the end user machine/roll-your-own installer

@Lindon oooh. surprising answer. You don't make monolith? Why? Is the sound quality worse?

[d.healey]

@Robert-Puza I could be wrong, but I think Lindon is conflating monoliths and HR archives.

[Robert Puza]

@d-healey Ok.

[Lindon]

@d-healey yep you could be right - but I dont use either-

@Robert-Puza - I find the monoliths to not fit my needs, its overly complex and not actually required and the HR archives also dont fit my needs - but I may be an outlier here as I built my own (simpler) expansion system....

[d.healey]

@Lindon Monoliths are losslessly compressed wav files. They are not tied to any installation system. I'm unaware of any reason not to use them for sample based instruments.

sorry yes Im getting confused - Its a confusing day - head in c++ code....that i dont understand, so ignore me...

[Robert Puza]

@Lindon In any case, I'm interested in your opinion... I haven't thought about it yet and haven't tried skipping the procedure of converting to monolith. I'll try it..

I cannot think of any reason why you would not use the HLAC monolith except for when you meed to distribute the wav files to be used in another context.

It‘s faster in both loading, playback, uses less memory and the file handling is easier because you don‘t need single files.

[Robert Puza]

@Christoph-Hart Okay. I understand. monolith is my friend.
