logic exs24 query

[<ding>]

yo people wandering if there a setting on logic to automatically find and load your exs24 instruments when opening a project

kind of a pain in the ass to find each one when you got a few used in a project

save as template

save as template

either u've misunderstood the question or i have. tho its true that it aint too clear from the OP's post.

anyway...

@ OP: if what u r asking is "isnt it possible to set logic up so I dont have to load all the exs instruments up again each time i close and re-open a project?" then the answer is...it should already be doing this automatically.

if its not then i guess u got a bug, or yr exs instruments are saved in the wrong place so logic cant find them.

this is prob a bad habit man, i make fresh basses, drums etc every time

oh, i see what u mean. then maybe jagermikester did understand and i got it wrong. i thought the OP meant that the exs kits already used in the project disappear after shutting and reopening logic and then have to be manually relocated.

but yeah, i make new drum kits etc. every time. never reuse exs instruments in another project. but if you really want 2 repeat yrself every track u make then do as suggested and save a song template with the exs kits in. but i wouldnt recommend it...

yo people sorry if i wasnt clear enough
yeh basically everytime i open up a project i am working on i have to find the exs instruments i am using and load them again

i think this is because as said above i am saving them in the wrong location

thanks for clearing things up

and yeh i dont use the same exs instruments everytime whoever mentioned that lol

then yeah, it aint normal. maybe try searching http://www.logicprohelp.com/ , most problems have already been answered on there, and if not then there's plenty of seriously knowledgable ppl who will sort it, i'm sure.

just copy the samples to ur project audio files location. i kept doing the same thing.

When you've made the instrument, save it to the EXS24 instrument directory instead of into your project...

So in EXS24 you go to

If I'm not mistaken it's... Edit >> Instrument >> Save instrument as...

HD >> Library >> Application Support >> Logic >> Sampler Instruments

This is if you want to use the same instruments in numerous projects

Advice regarding the sampler instruments audio files not being found, make sure that the 'copy external audio files to project' box is clicked when you start a new project. If not go all the way and click the EXS24 one!

Yeh man, but by default you save your logic project on start up, then you just keep clicking cmnd+S throughout working until a time comes to back it up to a save as lol
