EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

This problem appears to be a G5 and possibly only dual 2 GHz G5 related.
Apart from those on this list reporting this problem I know a few others
with the same problem, all with dual 2Ghz macs.

It is not related to audio drivers as we all seem to have different audio
cards. RME, MOTU, Built in Mac Audio.
It is not related to disk speed or fragmentation.
My Samples are all on a separate 160GB SATA drive. As I have only had the
computer for only 3 weeks I know it is not fragmented yet.

As a few of us have noted the problem seems to be related to having virtual
memory enabled. Also, like Ned, Logic would crash when trying to turn
virtual memory off in EXS24. I had to trash my Logic preferences.

I had a job on the weekend creating a convincing orchestral score. Very
difficult with no streaming of samples.

I will send an email to emagic and hope they respond.
