Everything sample related is already on my sample drive, with an alias to the Sampler Instruments folder inside Logic. This works perfectly for EXS24 instruments and samples. But when I delete the original "DLS-Giga Samples" folder and create an alias to identically named folder on the sample drive, Logic ignores the alias and creates a new original in the Logic folder during the Giga conversion process. The converted files again end up in the Logic folder on my system drive and have to be manually moved to the sample drive. Am I still missing something? Sean
