Hi all, I'm wondering if there's a drum set for the exs that's not too expensive. I have "ns-kit free" and I like it very much for some things. I'm not happy at all with the stock kits. Aside from that I have RMX which I like for some things but when it come to using a midi file or just rolling your own, I need to have a good natural set of drums that will load into the exs. Today I see no end to loops, REX2 files and do see the value and usefulness in all of it but there are times when I just need to have a set on board of natural drums. The other day someone on the Logic list recommended "Scarbee"and they really impressed me. http://www.scarbee.com/products/sid/index.php I was ready to purchase until I found out that they (The users) are having problems with many things like load times in the Steinberg sampler, sorry I forgot the name. The only alternative is Kontakt 3 and it's $579.00USD just to be able to load the drums. I don't think so. The company has a great product and it's too bad because many users are being turned away because of that. For me, I like the old EXS. It's been friendly to me anyway. I also got the free sample tank with a sample disk of drums I purchased and I don't like those drums either. DFH seems to have a good solution for isolating drums for recording but again these drums seem to be geared to the hard hit family. I know it take a lot of resources to have a multi layered kit with many samples but there must be something in between. I'm doing fine on a 1.33 Mac with only 1 gig of ram because of the way I work. I never have a lot of plugins all running at once and have learned to be very economical. Sorry too rant on here but I've been searching for 10 months downloading demo's, listening on line, buying stuff that doesn't really do it etc. The thing I love about the EXS is the multi mode and the fact that you can mute all of the drums but the one that I'm passing through "worm hole" to an audio track for independence. Anyone got idea's? I don't post much but I read this forum along with the Logic forums every day now for about a year and find so much useful information here with the many knowledgeable users I thought I'd wine a little and see if there's hidden treasure that I've missed. Thanks in advance Wayne
