[EXS][VSL] total annoyance

2003-08-02 by jrslam1

Has anyone received the VSL Performance Set for EXS yet? I got 
it yesterday and am thoroughly annoyed.  The file transfer and 
unstuff from DVD took somewhere between six and eight hours - 
no problem, that can go one disk at a time unattended, but 
here's the crunch.  When I went to Project Manager to resolve the 
somewhere around 90,000 sample file references, it was, 
according to VSL an "overnight process" that needen't be 
attended.  WRONG.  Every EXS program I tried (about six test 
progs.) had at least one duplicate sample from the Orchestral 
Cube, and of course, the program manager asks you which 
sample you would like to use.  You have to choose, hence, no 
unattended overnight sample resolve.  With the number of 
samples and resolutions, this looks like about a twelve hour 
carefully attended process.

Good luck to all who have bought this (not too carefully thought 
out for EXS) Performance Set.  If anybody has a workaround, 
please post it.  Oh yes, and Emagic has released Logic 6.1.1 
with the VSL implementation, but no Performance Tool is on the 
VSL site though they said on the box it would be.  It's still "In 
Developement."   This is after we paid in full for it three months 
ago.  Grrrrrrrrrr.   I'll save the bitch about several programs in
the 
Orchestral Cube with the wrong release samples for later.

Great, great library, but it needs some serious attention to a 
pretty major oversight. at least on my setup!
