Sample Compression #48

Maybe you could include some kind of primitive compression method to help 
save RAM? (e.g. a check-box in the sample editor called "compress" and 
when you check or uncheck it a bar appears while it compresses the sample)

On MilkyTracker I compress my samples by halving their length (which doubles 
their speed) then setting the relative note to an octave higher. The sample 
sounds the same, but it is actually half as big as the original.

That's a good idea, but there's no way to do that in NitroTracker. You have to 
do it in an external program. Maybe instead you could have a button that 
resamples the sample to the specified pitch?

You're right, a very simple resampler would give us an easy way to compress 
samples.

Ah, I thought this was going to be an effect request, for waveform compression. 
 I would also like that sort of compression.
