Has anybody else had problems sampling with Logic's ESX? When ever I try and sample any type of audio, ESX never "remembers" the sample upon restart. The first time I sample and create the instument all is fine. When I close the song and re-open it, all I get is a harsh white noise type of sound. The patch name is loaded in ESX but the sample is gone. It's really frustrating owning a sampler that doesn't sample!! I've followed the manual to a tee but I still can't get it to work. Thanks!!

No, not had this on the EXS24. What version are you using? What format sample files are you using? What happens if you convert the files to a different format? Have you tried running Porject Manager or EXS Manager on your instruments to check the paths of your samples?

I'm using Logic 7.1, so I have the latest version of EXS. I'm basically bringing in raw audio files (AIFF) into EXS. Doesn't ESX automatically convert them into into ESX files? Should I be doing something different? I've tried the project manager and to be honest I didn't know about the EXS manager. What is that? I can check that out tonight. Thanks for your help!

No, the EXS doesn't automatically do anything. Open the instrument editor, create a zone and load a sample into it. Save the instrument, and use the EXS browser to open it - you can now play it and hear what you are doing, add additional samples, layer things etc...
A recap - you create Sampler Instruments (*.exs) files which "point" to any necessary samples, and when you load the *.exs file into the EXS24, it loads all the referenced samples. It sounds to me like you aren't saving your edited instruments...
EXS Manager is a third party application that does similar things to the project manager, only a bit nicer to use.
