Do you think the emax sounds better than the Emax II? I hear you about the external drives, I have my share of them, add to that the Emax II's internal drive and its a symphony.. I use a Powerbook when doing music now, so I turn my PC off and that helps, but can't turn off the Ext. drives. I'm interested in hearing your opinion on the sound difference between the two samplers.. saludos On May 31, 2005, at 6:39 PM, elmacaco wrote: > the emax II can't replace the emax IMO, my Emax's internal HD is > somewhat loud, but I have seen others that are very quiet.
