>You know about EXS Manager, do you?

I used to run Logic on my PC but switched back to my Mac even before 
Apple purchased Emagic.  Before the switch back to the Mac, I was in 
fact using EXS Manager on the PC.  But it was a less-than-optimal 
solution.  Every time I would create a new EXS instrument (with new 
samples), I would have to either wait 15 minutes (!) for the EXS to 
scan my 50 GB library or run EXS Manager again.  God, what a drag.

The situation was so unworkable that I ended up buying a processor 
upgrade for my Mac just so I could run Logic on my Mac again.  I'm 
now a happy camper with the EXS on my 1GHz Mac.

Incidentally, on the Mac you don't need to perform any of 
this "resolving" samples BS.  It's still a bit slow to open the EXS 
Instrument flip menu when when your sound library grows beyond a few 
gigabytes, but at least the system is usable.  And now with the 
Project Manager in Logic 6, you can perform an EXS Manager -style 
scan as well if you really want to.
