Re: AKAI screwed up conversion

2000-11-29 by rpalagy@nyc.rr.com

Still haven't sent disc but found that my old 1991 Lightwave AKAI 
CD's load ok into EXS even though they seem not to be able to 
see every partition.  I would love Emagic to reply to this post as 
Dave Smith in U.S. says he has never heard about this problem 
and clearly I am not the only user with this problem!  Note that I 
am using a Sweetwater purchased version of EXS - NO "kracks".
