EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I am about to get a titanium G4 and a large external firewire for tracking.  
I am also wanting to store my sample libraries and exs folders on the 
firewire drive.  Will the performance (maybe in terms of latency) of the exs 
suffer because the samples are on the firewire, or is it better for them to 
be on the internal drive (hopefully not!)

Thanks,

I don't know about the new firewire drives but here is what I've been 
told 6 months ago about them.

I own one but only for backup purposes and to store my sample libraries 
and folders.
As long as you only read from the FW drive, you won't have any problem.

But I've been told (though I didn't take the risk to try) that if you 
want to record directly on the FW, you might get some corrupted files. 
And this is where it seems odd but it, depending on the drive, it can be 
right at the beginning or after having recorded 16 tracks or so. However 
playing back is not a pb.

Here is how I do it on my PB G3:
I record all my stuff on the internal drive then once it it is recorded, 
I transfer it to my FW for editing and mixing.
Concerning my samples, no PB with the external FW, it works very well. 
No latency with the EMI 2-6 (I would recommend you this one for your 
soundcard).

Hope this helps,
Vincnent
