EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Alvaro,

Your opinions are valid, but I'd wish you'd reduce your tone a few dB. You
come off a bit angrier and contemptuous than you need to. People will
respect your opinions more if you didn't articulate yourself in such a
cynical style. I too have made many custom kits. I am quite content with my
current arsenal which is made up almost entirely of kits that I designed
from scratch. I'm not desperate to spend hundreds on sample CDs either, but
I will when it's exactly the sound I need for a project. I urge you to
consider that Groove Control discs, however similar to other sample sets,
are still extremely professional in their makeup. Even the free downloads
offer pristine clarity. Yes, I too have found decent soundfont percussion
sets, etc., but it's pretty compelling to have racks of ready-made grooves
that sound better than if I hired a percussionist to come into my studio
(who I would have to pay at least $200 anyway). Many producers simply don't
have the time to spend day after day compiling groove kits and REX files.
Their time is better spent composing, which is what they get paid for. You
have to look at this issue from all sides. What is a rip-off to you is a
God-send to others. Please be considerate of all users. No one has shown any
malice toward you. In fact, from what I've seen, people have patiently tried
to help you, and with the best intentions. I hope that you stay a part of
this fantastic list, and that you come to value the diverse perspectives
herein. If you know great places to find SoundFonts not already mentioned on
this list, perhaps that's an example of one of many things you can
contribute. I look forward to any helpful tips you might be able to provide
to our list. Happy Holidays!

Best Wishes,
Jer Olsen
