Hi Sascha, everyone

I agree that it is wierd, but maybe its not that unusual - I have just had
the situation where a group who have recorded in my studio on several
occasions in the past, would like to come in again, but would like to do
some editing/mixing of the recorded material themselves, at home on their
own PC to save studio time (and of course, money). They also wanted to get
more involved in sampling - they were actually very impressed with LAWP 5.3
and the EXS, ES2, EVOC20 etc. last weekend, but of course can't buy it
outright. So, I can only recommend that, as far as sampling is concerned, we
work in Kontakt, which I bought through Native Instruments offer to EXS
users, (and whcih of course they can buy), and not enquire too closely as to
what version of logic they may have running.

Normally, I would be pretty uncooperative to someone in this situatuion, but
they have spent about 6,000 Euros recording with me over the past years, so
I am hardly going to turn around and refuse to give them any track material
on the suspicion that the versions of the programmes they are using might
not be legal. Logic for PC no longer being available makes this kind of hard
to deal with!

kind regards
