Re: [exs] Audio CD to WAV / AIFF converter (single sounds)

2001-02-28 by HELP@MusicProTools.com

Use Toast in conjunction with Peak or something similar. Peak can
auto-select "regions" and export them in bulk. Then they can be imported
into the EXS. There a several programs which do this sort of thing.
