Exs24 Vs Kontakt, cant decide Options

[slowintrepid]

So yeah I'm a pretty heavy logic user and I'm starting to realize the beauty of the included Logic plug ins and Synths.

I've also been trying to learn to use kontakt really well.

I don't wanna have two samplers though because it seems redundant.

so here's my gripe


EXS24 appleized and rock solid with very little DSP usage.

Kontakt very powerfull sampler with alot of DSP usage and a bit of unstabiltiy compared to EXS24

also can I convert my kontakt samples to EXS or vis versa with CDXtract or similar?

If you use logic audio the esx24 is obviously better in sense of been intergraded.

Compatition has been the influence though that no 3rd party sampler would perform better on emagic's logic by all means if emagic wants to sell there products for apple.

the best over samplers are Kontact and or Mach 5 hands down, if kontact was the new esx24 intergrated into logic pro, im sure it would seem to perform as it does on PCs and cubase etc.but it will not at the moment becuase of the reasons i stated., programers dont just give away everything free., if they did everyone else would beat them at there game.

so use the esx24 if you have logic audio and get kontact if you want more features, but be prepared for porfamance limitations for kotnact as to logic since emagic will rutthlessly limit its performance to make the esx24 seem better, though it allready does everything but pitch shift by keys with time stretching to fit a layout, its terrible at that, you can not make instruments with out this feature which is in most hardware samplers.

i know it sounds cheap but thats the truth,
-from the users point of view;
--esx24 users are happy but there is allways room for new features,
i personally dont by those negative posts by esx24 users who claim that adding these "pitch and time" features may ruin the esx performance, sounds strange that anyone would say that when they new its possible to do with out limitations as it has been evidant allready with the state logic has been keeping up with now! who would say such crap obviously has a invested interests in profit for emagic or apple developing or is a pure geek limited to the possibilities of the current logic programing schemes.
BUT over all its about just how much money are they willing to get for it.

if only emagic would put some time into the esx24 instead of sceaming how to keep others behind they would not worry about compatition, but unfortunatly emagic wants tons of money (profit) for there sampler, not just 200% but 400+ % from developement for the esx24, and they did not bother to improve it since there dirty secret was selling it all to apple and including the esx24 with the package.

anyways, try them both if you can

good luck
