Hi Ben !

Yes, the larger amount of my library is on CDs too,- but there are also 
many floppies around here.
I tried floppies (Refill Packer 4 accepts floppies !) and CDs w/ Refill 
Packer 4, and it works,- but I got some weird folder structure within 
the Refill w/ some CDs, resulting in some empty folders too.

Maybe I made a mistake, but I never found out how to load the result 
into Reasons samplers in one go and that way it works like in a Akai 
without time consuming editing.

Yes, I used that too for other soft samplers like Halion and it worked,- 
but I want to get rid of Halion (I have Kontakt too and it�s better).
But I got probs converting EMU CDs w/ CDXtract for Halion, had samples 
in different folders separated by velocity values/layers.
I have a over 500GB sample library here and did it for Halion,- it was 
endless work and I don�t want to do it again w/ CDXtract.

I also doubt, converting w/ CDXtract results in correct multi-sampling 
key mappings for Reason samplers, but only wav samples you have to remap 
then in Reason.
Not the work I�d prefer.

Pentium D or Core2Duo ?????

I just set up a DAW w/ a older Pentium D 945 3,4Ghz /FSB800/4MB cache 
and 4gigs of RAM,- will be finished today so I can start installations.
If it runs Record, for me it might be worth the upgrade.
I could install the Record demo, but I�m not sure it will give the real 
world results, so I hoped to get some true user info eventually.
>  My cousin said Record uses a usb key to authorize.
Yes ! But it works without the key after it�s authorized too AFAIK. The 
Propellerheads deal differnet w/ the authorisation and compard to the 
other systems like iLok/PACE, Syncrosoft and eLicencer.
With Reason 5, we�ll see the dongle too, I�m sure.
The question will be which upgrade one wants to pay,- the one for Record 
or the one for Reason.
I�m sure, the next free Record update updates Reason too if you already 
own Reason 4 and Record.

Well, that�s the way of work I did before too, using Cubase SX3 and I�m 
evaluating Reaper now and in addition.

I was satisfied w/ the stability of Reason 4 always, so my idea was/is, 
to set up both, Reason & Record, on a separate machine, do the 
recordings and export to anywhere for whatever I like to do what Record 
cannot do then.
In addition, Record seems to improve Reason for multi core processing.

So, I�d like to be able to use my Akai format sampling instruments (not 
just pure samples) in Reason,- just because it�s so stable and CPU friendly.
