EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Murray,

Thanks for the get-a-PC-as-second-computer advice, 
but I won't.

I was wondering though, how do people who use both 
a Mac and a PC manage their work space? I mean, 
aren't we talking double computer keyboards, 
double mice (oh-oh, now which do I click now?), 
double monitors (that's not hard), double MIDI 
interfaces, double storage hierarchical issues 
(where does that ReCycled drum loop B MIDI file go 
again?), figuring out which computer is master, 
double fan noise, double bugs (!!)...

And then there's the whole issue of how one 
manages to, for eg, compose a piece that use 
strings from the Gigasampler, and a softsynth bass 
line from Absynth on their Mac, both triggered 
from the same Logic sequence, etc. It just seems 
so bloody complicated, no?

Why not just convince the company, in this case 
GigaStudio, to make a Mac version, or simply make 
EXS support the Giga format?

My less-than-3-per-cent-of-the-market 2 cents.
