Greetings,
Anybody had any success using the EXS24 to record your VST and AU
instruments as EXS24 instruments?

I've experimented developing templates in the matrix, recording ES2
.wav files. using stripe silence, convert region to audio file.  I am
recording signals, but have trouble with strip silence creating usable
.wav files which have to be renamed with root key info in order to be
automapped in a new EXS24 instrument.  

Anybody doing this successfully.  Many problems here with:
1.  Getting uniform sample lengths for each note recorded
2.  developing the right Strip Silence template to cut the original
audio file into accurate regions
3.  Automatically cross-fading each region sample.
4 Big problem --the time it takes to rename each regions audio file
with root key info.

If somebody has s workable method, maybe they would be kind enough to
post it here, especially the templates you use.

Much appreciated,
J Marti
