Hi Ian,

There's good news. In Logic 6 with the new Project Manager, there is a great new feature. Under the main file menu there is a new command called "save as project". Logic can then save all the relevant files for your song in one location; including EXS instruments, samples, plugin settings, audio files, etc. It really is very intelligently laid out. You can even save unused audio to a spearate folder. And you have many options as to wether you "move" or "copy" each calss of file, etc. It's very elegant. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this on the LUG.

And FTR, I still haven't given up the ghost on my old SC ll card!! Softsamplecell may be cool. But EXS is waaay cooler.
