EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Dave,

That's certainly the way to go if you plan to do any editing on the 
samples or instruments, which would affect previous songs that 
utilised them.

The only obvious drawback is space - you'll have 2 (or more) copies 
of stuff but hey....
As they say, data doesn't exist unless it's in 2 or more places!

If your data isn't altered, you can try putting alaiases in your song 
folder, just for reference.

Regards - Colin
