I also dumped EXS24 and went for Kontakt which I find far superior. EXS24 is
useless for big archives amongst other things. (Perhaps unless you know
exactly what you're looking for). Anyway, I'd say your hardware/soundcard
has the biggest impact on the sound quality of the soft sampler (Not talking
bouncing of course). And the EMU sampler I used to have, I don't miss at
all. I'm as soft as my under belly these days! Hans, there's a downloadable
demo of Kontakt on NI's pages. Give it a try, if you haven't already done
so.
