Sample Cd's And Me...a Logic Scenario, help! Options

[tokyoroland]

Alright, so lately I have been bombarded with possibilites in getting professional quality sounds from going to the kvrvst and sonic control website.

I want to know how Logic (osx 5.3) coincides with Gigasampler, Gigastudio, you know the Giga format in general and how the exs24 fits in.

In order to use, like, Garritan, Spectrasonics, and mostly the good-quality but less expensive sample cd's.... will I need to get the exs24 AND the giga studio/sampler??? Will the exs24 be unessasary? or will the giga studio/sampler be unessesary?

Can all sample cd's be loaded into Logic on osx (10.1.5 for now)?

Why would I need the giga workstation if I already have Logic?

Will the exs24 do the job of the giga studio/sampler??

I just want to know the next step..... should I just get the exs24 and get sample cd's....do they need to be in Akai format?

I heard the new exs24mk11 can load giga formats.. is this true?

I am all lost and undone? Does anyone here understand me?

I hope I'm not confusing anyone greatly..

So, I don't need to make any samples of anything.

All I need to do is go into os9 and import my cd into the exs24? (will I need to put the cd into my 'sampler instruments' folder, and will I need to map the sounds with the exs24 editor?)

then good, this makes it a lot easier..

on another note.. does anyone know if the exs24 mk11 works under Logic 5.3 for osx (10.1.5)

I tried to contact emagic, but they aren't open until Jan.2nd, I believe.....

Becuase, I think that at the emagic website, it says that exs24mk11 will come with getting Logic 5.5...

and I couldn't seem to find a separate download..

I cant afford Jaguar yet!!!
