I would finally be able to ditch my dreaded gigastudio computer. Dealing with film work, I switch to different logic files all the time for each film cue. I would love to just have a large template of my regularly used sounds stay loaded in the background, because the load times of today's huge sample libraries are getting out of hand, and using a dedicated PC computer with gigastudio and a sample template that I leave on ALL the time is the only solution. But my gigastudio computer is nothing but trouble, so I would love to throw it out the window and ONLY use the EXS for my sample needs, but I can't deal with waiting five minutes for my songs/cues to load so many times per day. I would loose over an hour a day just waiting. (and YES, I'm using EXS Manager) So, this two copies of Logic idea seems intriguing. I would love to hear from someone who successfully made this work out. I also want to BEG Emapple to add this feature in a future version. Thanks, Jason Jason-greenberg.com
