Redmatica EXS manager

2007-03-14 by Donovan R.

I'm in the process of updating my home studio.  Consequently, I've  
imported my 16 CD Emu ESI library onto a drive (using CDXtract), plus  
I've gotten a couple of Apple Jam Packs, Keith Hunter Emerald, etc.   
When the Jam Pack World instruments got lumped in with the Jam Pack  
Symphony instruments by the default installer routine (as "Garage  
Band Insruments," with no distinction between Symphony and World), I  
got the idea that it would be useful to be able to manage my sample  
library with some help from software, so I got the highly touted  
Redmatica EXS manager and installed in on my MBP where I have 10.4.8  
and Logic 7.2.3.

I realize it's a very good thing to keep samples assoiciated to the  
correct instrument, which EXS manager seems to excel at, but I'm  
mainly interested at this time in being able to see instruments  
nicely filed away in a (to me) cogent filing system so I can find  
them easily.  I've done a read through of the manual, and I guess I  
could do some experiments to see which EXS Manager option of moving  
the samples and their instruments will best suit my needs.  However,  
I thought I would ask here first how others have moved around their  
EXS24 libraries using the Redmatica program.  Which settings did you  
use to accomplish this?  I'm a little leery of pulling the trigger on  
moving stuff, because there doesn't seem to be a way to restore  
things to the original locations.  Is there?

I've searched the archives for clues without finding any  
particulars.  Any tidbits appreciated. Thanks...
