Here's an article that says the exs already does disk streaming of samples! Is this true? Can't find any mention of it on emagic's site... www.crmav.com/enews/emagic_logic_audio_4_7_important_news_for_exs24_owners_free_download.shtml

Garth/Rubber Chicken, Unfortunately, I don't recall what magazine it was. Perhaps they spoke out of turn, or without the proper knowledge. Perhaps I'm distributing misinformation... my apologies if it is so. I'm posting this response to the group, since it may help resolve the dispute. Thanks for your insite. -Jer
