Window Reference Delete uncompressed originals dialog box |

Deletes the original, uncompressed versions of all compressed Samples in your Session document. This means committing to your current Compression settings.
Uncompressed Samples can be very large. Once you've settled on a compression type for each of your Samples, you can use this command to shrink the size of your Session file by deleting the original, uncompressed version of all Samples for which you've selected a Compression type.
Note: Beatnik recommends extreme care when using this command. If you delete your only copies of the uncompressed Samples, and then later decide to change the compression technique, you'll have to first decompress the compressed copies, and then re-compress them. With most compression techniques, this will result in a significant loss of fidelity.
Two things to remember:
If you can afford the disk space, you should always keep your uncompressed original Samples in your Session document. Retaining the uncompressed originals preserves flexibility in the future, and once the originals are gone there's no way to recover the lost fidelity. The sizes of the uncompressed originals don't affect the size of your exported RMF files in any way. Shrinking the Session file by deleting the large original Samples won't make your RMF files any smaller.
