Fortunately, being a smaller partion, it didn't take too long. Does anyone know where exactly the index file is stored? I was surprised to see that it was over 70 megs big. -- Eli Krantzberg Nightshift Orchestra / Almat Productions http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com

No, I don't notice any distinct speed increase, but it wasn't a problem prior to indexing. My instruments load in a few seconds. One thing that indexing is sweet for though is being able to search by content all of my favourite saved tips from the LUG over the past years (and now this list).

Hmmm. I use Outlook Express for Mac and can search all my e-mails for content without the use of indexing. Why do you use this method versus using your e-mail client's internal search capability? I am an experienced Mac user and disabled indexing immediately upon setting up my system. The only time I could deal with the delay is while I'm asleep (when I should be backing up my drive).

I am too and also did the same. But now that I've tried it, it doesn't seem to cost any system performance. I figure I'll update the indexing manually when I feel like it, rather than schedule it for automatic updates. This way I can keep the scheduler extension disabled. -- Eli Krantzberg Nightshift Orchestra / Almat Productions http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com

Thanks, Eli. Good to here another seasoned opinion.

It's worth it for that alone! Indexing is great when looking for just about anything. I have files of Roland sample lists. If I want to find a mandolin or Tibetan voice, I can use a Contents search, locate the reference file, which points me at the correct CD to load. etc etc etc In general, I believe it pays to be organised.

Another reason I forgot to mention that I don't just use my email program is that I get the LUG in digest form. It isn't easy to save individual elements of the digest in an email program in the format it comes in. So once I am copying and pasting, I just prefer to take care of it myself outside the email software. It's easier to backup that way too. -- Eli Krantzberg Nightshift Orchestra / Almat Productions http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com

Emagic as showing (I don't know privately or publicly) the "streaming" stuff again at NAMM. They prefer not to call it "streaming" though - it's something like "virtual sampling" or similar. I'm really looking forward to L5 and what it'll bring to the table, and to EXS. I hope it comes soon. Note: Or "ESX," as most people call it. In fact, I sat through an entire meeting with Emagic people where one participant consistently (about 25 or so times) called it "ESX." Nobody corrected him. I was going to, but I just said "forget it." =) It doesn't surprise me - when people call for support, it's always "ESX." Garth Hjelte Sampler User

He said lists, not samples. I don't think the samples are on the drive (I could be mistaken).
