Re: [EXS] AKAI Smart Violins with exs

2003-05-01 by Anders Wollbeck

Kerry, thanks for the info but I tried Logic 5 and it does not work. 
My Logic 6 accepts other AKAI cdroms and the issue just concerns 
"Smart Violins" perhaps because of the audio racks. (I use Mac 9.2). 
Does anyone else know the "CD Extract workaround"? Is it possible to 
burn new AKAI CD roms and remove the audio tracks?

Anders
