Lexicon reverb plugin mpx vs lxp pro#
This is the ultimate home recording and project studio plug-in package for creating professional, inspirational mixes within popular DAWs such as Pro Tools®, Logic®, Nuendo® or any other AAX, RTAS®, AudioUnit™, or VST® compatible host. The MPX Native Reverb Plug-in delivers the legendary Lexicon sound through a single polymorphic plug-in with seven different reverb types and over one hundred of the most versatile and finely crafted studio presets. Now that same distinctive, smooth, rich “Lexicon Sound” is available in a plug-in specifically designed to take any home or project studio to the next level. Out of your list I'd pick the Rumour first and the Lexicon MPX-1 second.For over 40 years Lexicon® has been considered the gold standard of digital reverb and effects processing. I also find them noisy, but they certainly have their believers. So for that reason I personally would avoid them. Not sure about that but I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was not possible to get parts anymore. As far as the PCM-70, that's a classic unit but getting quite old now and I don't believe that Lexicon services them anymore.
Lexicon reverb plugin mpx vs lxp series#
I think the LXP series sounds darker because it has a more limited bandwidth, or perhaps the converters sound different. But if you are chaining analog, then that doesn't apply.
My comment about the Rumour was simply that since it has SDPIF I/O you could use SPDIF I/O on your DAW if it has it, avoiding unnecessary conversions. If you are using them separately on individual tracks, then obviously they would each need conversion from the DAW.
If you are chaining those devices, you only need DA conversion into the first unit (from the DAW), and then AD conversion after the last unit into the DAW. I'm a virgin, and I care about my music, so I want it to be special.
So, here I am fighting my insanity on which unit to go with. I wonder the validity in those statments for a box you can pick up on Ebay for under $200? Could this be too good to be true? Hmmm. Somewhere it said the LRX 15 II is a lot "warmer" sounding than the MPX 1. I also read on a board that the Lexicon LRX 15 II has a preset called, "Dark Room" that can give even the 480 a run for its money. I've read the Rumour excels in the Plate departmment, it has excellent presets for both vocals and guitar and it's up there with the big boys like the PCM series. It also doesn't help the fact that I have always wanted a Lexicon since I was a kid, lol.įletcher mentioned that the PCM 70 version 2.2 had an excellent guitar preset called "tiled room".
I do know of a lot of pro recordings have used the Lexicon PCM series, so I can use that as a reference somewhat. I searched high and low for some mp3 samples, but found nothing. With not being able to A/B any of these units makes me feel like I'm walking in the dark with only other peoples reviews to guide me. Maybe the Rumour has better converters? I don't know. I have the Creative EMU 1820m which does have AD/DA converters, so I guess that is not an issue. I came across your review on the Rumour by the way which helps. I have done a lot of googling the past week researching these units. I realize this topis has been covered many, many times.
