EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Has anybody tried translating these discs with Translator or CDXtract? 
I'm thinking about buying them but would like to get a good translation 
into EXS format with them.

Either way, is anyone using these? What do you think of them?

Thanks.

I have VOTA (voices of the a....), and I had to translate it to EXS-24 with
translator.
Two thing you MUST know:

1-translation: it s a common problem with big file (not just VOTA); if a
file start on a disc and finish on another one, you won t be able to
decompress the file properly (mac thing; maybe panther or unstuff (unzip)
got it fix, never tried it). The only way out is to decompress it on a PC,
burn new CD and then translate. Annoying....

2-All the phrasing feature (write the word you want the choir to sing,
etc...) are giga ONLY; it s a separate application only avalaible on PC (if
it s now mac let me know !!!).


So, bottom line is that it s a good sounding library, but without the extra
features , it s not that different from other choir librairy. But it does
sound good....

That's good to know, I'll have to decompress it at work and bring it 
home.

Yeah, I saw that program as part of the soundsonline description. Yes 
it is still PC only, and on top of that it only runs in gigastudio. 
Bummer.

So is the sound worth the money over other choir libraries considering 
that the phrasing utility is worthless to us? Maybe I should look at 
getting a PC and the new gigastudio...

Thanks for the feedback.
