EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I've just transfered all my sounds onto a new machine (Mac Pro 2.33 
dual core), My old system was built up to Logic 7.2 off of upgrades 
from as early as Logic 5. My samples in the old system were kind of 
scattered due to the different ways that Logic dealt with samples thru 
the each revision. Anyway I'm doing a new clean install of 7.2 and 
having issues getting all my stuff to gel.  I had an Akai samples 
folder created from importing off of Sample CDs.  When making the 
transfer I realized i dont have the CD ROMs any more to reimport them 
into Logic, But I do have the .Aif files created by Logic on the 
import.  As a quick fick I went thru and made new instruments from all 
my .AIF drum samples from the Akai foler (mostly dance mega drums stuff)
When I created them they showed up in the EXS browser fine complete 
with all my subfolder organizations. After Coming back to the machine 
(after reboot) Only One (1 !!) of the drum kits shows up while the many 
other drum kit instruments were not to be scene.  All searches with 
project manager give me nothing. It sees everything there just fine but 
has many samples it can't place.  In the Finder all the instrument 
files are greyed out (not selectable) and are labeled just "Logic Pro 
File", while the one that shows up in EXS shows it as EXS instrument 
file.  All these instruments were created at the same time (in one 2 
hour session of fun! not) All samples are there, but the instrument 
files got messed up...

Anyone?


 PS  thanx for listening to my saga

This is a job for Redmatica's EXS Manager. There are few re-linking 
problems it can't solve, and it's lightning fast.

Just a thought... Is your drive full? If it is that would possibly 
corrupt your .exs files. (See thread on LUG).
