Re: [EXS] EXS 24 Sampler Instruments and Samples On Multiple External Drives Question

2005-02-03 by randwman

(I haven't read all the posts but...)
You can set in the' general prefs/global/project manager' where to search...
from the manual:
Search files using: The following search functions affected by the Search files using:  
preference only deal  with a case that should never happen. The case in question involves 
files that aren't in  the location that's been saved with the song or EXS instrument, when 
loading a song  or EXS instrument.  In the real world, however, you may occasionally and 
inadvertently move files on the  desktop, without using the Project Manager's copy and 
move functions. When opening a song or EXS24 instrument, Logic expects its audio files to 
be found in  the locations saved with the song or EXS file. Even in earlier versions (prior to 
6), Logic  didn't just offer a file selector box, in cases where files couldn't be found where 
they  should reside. In such instances, Logic would automatically search for the 
appropriate  files with the right names on all disks, in every folder. As you may already 
know, this  procedure could take a little while, especially with complex EXS instruments. 
This  behavior still is possible.
