Can you please email me a URL where I can find more
info on the manager?

Thanks

Yes. Yes. Organization of your sound library, deletion of duplicate samples, 
faster, stabler and more efficient than the project manager. Yes.

I have about 9000 exs instruments and about 86000 samples. I organized the 
sampler instruments by category, manually, then used exsmanager to organize 
the samples in an identical structure. I slimmed my samples down by about 
15000 by  sharing duplicates, and everything is easy to find. Its a 
wonderfully implemented piece of software. Too bad you missed the group buy. 
But its more than worth it even at full price.

I have a more modest set of samples (more in the 10G than the 100G
range).  Even so, I've recently become a fan of the Redmatica release.
 I even upgraded operating systems for this and one other reason (from
10.1 to 10.3).

Once installed and run for the first time, the most immediate benefit
was the loading time in EXS for samples.  I had already noticed an
annoying 10s or so delay when loading most samples into EXS.  After
running EXS manager, sample loading was nearly instantaneous.

I'm not yet convinced the sample duplication was alleviated or that
the file organization makes much more sense, but that may well be due
to my lack of knowledge of how to use the features.

Cheers,
Larry

I bought it too
It's a great product
After re-organisation the loading time is great ! :D

The re-organisation of you samples is great because in the same place you
can put your instrument and it's samples
So if you want to move or remove samples you don't have to worry.

The only thing you must be careful ; when you want to see/work/remove the
duplicates, you must use the slower options, if you check on only the
beginning of the sample you may have the same sample twice in one of your
lib but one may be longer than the other.

I could not recommend this program more if you have a sizeable sample libra=
ry. Mine 
is over 50GB, and it became a real pain in the butt waiting for sounds to l=
oad in and 
for the program to start (because every time Logic starts it performs the '=
refresh 
menu' function). 

Once I ran OSX Manager, things were back to normal - the loading time is pr=
etty 
much negligable. It's a real time-saver.

Cheers,

Damir
