FLAC in Samplitude 10.2

Josh, in the new release of Samplitude, 10.2, FLAC files can be edited.  Is the editing done in native FLAC or is it decompressed on the fly and edited in WAV format, "under the sheets?"

It is a welcome addition.  Thanks for the work with Magix/Samplitude/Sequoia.  I hope you realized something worthwhile for your efforts in building the lossless compression standard.

Cheers

libFLAC doesn't itself support editing of the samples (only metadata), so I would guess it is decompressing first.

FLAC has to be edited at the frame level so some number of samples must usually be decoded.

I love that companies like Magix and Cakewalk has implented FLAC into their multitrack software. I wish more would do this.

A question though. If these software would record all the tracks directly to FLAC somehow would it affect the CPU a lot? Let's say it only uses -0 to minimize stress while recording? Regards
