Is there any reason why 2 files with the exact same audio, automation, synths, EVERYTHING, would have different sizes? I have 2 copies of the same track, but they're different sizes.

About 70 MB difference. I can upload them when I get home, if you'd like (and if RT.com allows an attachment that big). And yes, they're on the same hard drive.

70MB is really nothing. So many possible reasons.

I noticed Reason makes file sizes fluctuate depending on the weather or moon cycles. By default it is 769 KB, make some changes and it is now 1025 KB, then after a while when you open same file again, it is back to 769 KB and vice versa. These are demo projects of mine with no external samples. So yeah, you ain't the only one, OP :D
