RE: [exs] Translator question

Hi,

It is faster is the obvious one when you run Translator.  However, it also
converts the samples/programs better IMHO.  

I have some Akai CD-Roms for example that have played back with clicks in the
samples (right in the loops) when converted via the exs-24 converter.  I convert
those same samples using Translator and there are no clicks (incidentally,
I don't get clicks on my hardware samplers either).

There are many people using CDXtract and I found that similar issues like the
clicks in loops exist there.  I tested CDXtract 3.6 prior to buying Translator.
 For me, I kind of like the interface of CDXtract better but Translator does
a better job of the translation for me.  That is why I went with it.

The other bonus is that I have some Roland CD-Roms as well as some E-mu CD-Roms
and Translator can translate those too.  Translator handles the Roland emphasis
curve (if you want it to - it is an option) and even simulates the alternate
looping styles that are unique to Roland samplers (ie forward and reverse).
