Changes in this lite version:
- removed 5 mic positions (1 close, 2 mids, 2 rooms) - 82% size reduction
- reduced bit depth from 24bit to 20bit - 40% size reduction

I took great care not to cause any audible difference with the second process. Below you can see original 24bit sample (velocity 14, C1, no pedal):

The 20bit dither removed only non-audio content (white noise), that occupied last 4 bits of every sample. As white noise is virtually incompressible through means of lossless compression algorithms, it takes a lot of space. Fortunately it's easily removed through rather simple trick (gain reduction on all samples by -24dB, then 24bit dither and gain compensation +24dB).

Through these means, I'm proud to present you release, that is 88% smaller than retail version of Hammersmith.
