EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

(Sorry to repost the whole thing)

Cyril, it's no secret that these huge libraries require multiple 
machines if you want to do a lot of stuff without bouncing. That's 
why Hans Zimmer has about a dozen Giga machines.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the Mac version just isn't ready yet, 
because there would be no point in them programming that library for 
EXS24 PC when it's about to go down the toilet. And if you need 
multiple machines, it makes a lot more sense to buy $600 PCs than 
$2500 Macs for the purpose!

Finally, I have a hard time complaining about the limits of single 
computers when I hear what the "new sampling" sounds like!
