- With current mod formats, yes. You suggested an extra feature which is not
- present in current formats, AFAIK.
-
- Paraphrasing,
-
- I said, "Adding more channels to current mod formats might reduce the amount
- of sample data required, by removing the need for premixing."
-
- You replied, "You could also achieve this by augmenting the current mod format
- with commands for premixing."
-
- I said, "Yes, that would work too, and is equivalent to adding more channels
- in its reduction in sample usage."
-
- I fail to see what the problem is here.
