Tabla Samples

Anyone know of any good table sample sets? I'm definitely looking for one-shot samples (as opposed to loops), and preferrable for EXS24. Any ideas? I can't seems to find anything decent...

External Vs Internal Hard Drives

Is there a difference, performance-wise, between your standard internal serial ATA drive and your standard external Firewire drive? I'm assuming similar hard drive specs - I'm more concerned with how the bus effects performance. For example how well would a firewire drive handle a large sample library (5+ GB, at once), reading direct from disk, where it would have to seek out large amounts of info at once?

Line In In The Back Of My Dual G5 Power Mac

I'm having issues with the line in jack on th eback of my dual g5. I've bought three different desktop microphones with miniplugs, and none of them work with the line in port. I'm prettty sure the port works since I can plug my headphones into it and get a signal using the headphones as a mic. But three seperate computer mics have failed. I suppose that there is a chance that I happened to buy three bad micrphones from three different brands from three different stores, but I'm sure the answer is much simpler than that.... any ideas?

Matching Tempo Of Pre-recorded Material Logic 7

I have a great piece of audio that I'd like to write a track arround in Logic 7, but the tempo is all over the place.

I seem to remember from my days using Digital Performer that there was a way to import audio that was recorded without a click trick, and have the program create a tempo map to the audio file. The way this was accomplished was by hitting the space bar in time to the music as it played. DP interpretted the keystrokes into the variations in tempo.

Is there a way to do something similar in Logic 7? I've looked in the manual, but I'm not even sure what to look under...

Thanks

Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra

I checked out the demos online and really likes what I heard. Right now (until July 31st) they are offering a sale price of $1495, as opposed to the list price of about $3000. Is this sale for real? Is the price ever $3000? I ask because if the sale does actually run out at the end of the month, I'll purhase this sounds now before they become more expensive. Otherwise, I'll wait until a more convenient time...

Thanks!
