EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Will defraging my firewire drive, which contains all my exs samples, mess 
with previous logic songs knowing where the samples are, since defraging 
essentially rearranges the data right?

It does rearrange the data -- the specific set of clusters that make up
each file will be different in many cases -- but it doesn't change the
logical structure of your drive at all. The files will still be in the same
folders so Logic will find them just as it does now. Otherwise defrag
utilities would break everything.

No problems with that, just go ahead.
