Please tell me where to install the horizon series files on the dvd.  I have placed the UnRarX file in my applications folder. 

Do I install files from the instruments folder or from the samples folder?  I have an Apple Leopard computer with Logic 8 and EXS.

Thanks Vanessa

Hi Vanessa 

Nice to meet you here! 

Even if I can't give you the answer - let me say hello! Hope you are well.

Hi Beat:  Doing very well. Just received a new Leopard with Logic 8.  Going through the installation pains.

Thanks Vanessa

the nature of EXS is a dual one - on one hand you have the raw samples and on the other hand the instruments (exs-files) - so you need to install both to the respective locations

1) download and install UnRarX (avoid stuffit expander since almost all versions are buggy)

2) verify and if needed repair permissions on your system volume using disk utility

3) set the destination for extracted files to a convenient location on one of your harddrives

4) extract the samples archives using either the menu dialog from UnRarX or with drag&drop directly from the DVD(s)

5) do the same with the sample instruments archives - place them in the respective folder for your logic version

6) optional: use EXS manager from redmatica to relink/resolve the instrument files

7) do not forget to install the performance tool for your respective platform (ppc or intel)

8) up to logic 7 make sure VSL is authorized on your XSkey

9) check the user area - sample libraries - library updates for corrections of the DVD content
