EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

This is an interesting point for me. I have been told by many akai listers
that loading a sampler up with CDROMs will kill any sound module. Well I can
honestly say that with over 100 CDROMS and my EXS24 and 360Mgs of RAM, I
never use the EXS24 for sounds. I use my 32Mgs Korg TR-Rack and my Nord Lead
2.
My call to all unbiased objective honest musicians:
Why don't samplers loaded with cdroms sound any good?
They are using 100's more Mgs per sound. CDROM's are stink. Little sound
modules are good. When I used my Akai CD3000XL I could use the excuse that
loading sounds up from CDROm was a fucking hassle but now with the EXS24
it's almost as easy as using a sound module. But not quite. Using my TR-Rack
with the sound names loaded into Logic is sooo easy.
I use Battery for drums because I love sampling my own hip hop vinyl, reggae
drums etc. It's wicked.
Why don't samplers live up to the promise? FRUSTRATION.
Do I need to go and spend a few thousand on a Roland JV5080 fully loaded to
satisfy my sounds cravings???
Please tell me I'm wrong!
Peace.
PS, I got Ultimate piano CDROM, 100's of megs, sound like SHIT. My TR-Rack
0.5 Mg piano is waay better???
