It's possible that your sampler instruments are not properly re-linked, so Logic is searching for the samples every time. You can use Logic's Project Manager (PM) for this, but you might grow old and grey while you wait. Take a look at EXSManager: www.redmatica.com It works HUNDREDS of times faster than PM. By properly re-linking your instruments, they should load much faster. Regards - Colin
