does saving multiple .als files together DOUBLE space?!?!

So quick question, sorry if its been posted before did a quick search nothing came up.

Question is: I have a couple sliced up songs saved as a .ALS file, no biggie there. But now I want to combine 2 .ALS files into one .als file so would this double the memory space on my computer? thanks for the help

no, but nothing is foolproof to a talented fool.

.als files, clips etc only ever reference a single source file. so, if a sample is used in multiple clips or .als files it's not duplicated until you do a 'collect all and save' which will copy the sample into your project directory.

But "double posting" will definitively double space here...
