EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I think Rex files will be most useful as self-produced items in Logic 5. I
know what's required to get them to work exactly as I wish. I wouldn't
depend on many others to do that kind of work with as much attention to
detail. It's a lot like online sound libraries. Many of the kits (and even
raw groups of samples) have many, many milliseconds of dead air before the
attack. Even in my EXS builds from downloaded kits, it's been a lot of work.
Still, it's nothing compared to the days of building kits on my ASR-10. It
took days to build a kit I can now do in about 20 minutes, even with the
editing and normalization. It's like the saying goes, "If you want something
done right, you've got to do it yourself!" (unless of course your talking
Groove Control, right guys ;-)
