11/7/2022 0 Comments Phoenix verb vs valhalla roomIf I were to purchase a reverb plug-in today it would be one or both of the Exponential Audio plugs. I think once you get into the realm of high end reverbs it becomes as much a matter of taste, or possibly ease of use (or even included presets?). ![]() I did not make a big effort to match parameters exactly because, well, because I already had the hardware and wasn't going to buy the plug-in, so I don't have any faith in that evaluation. The PCM plugin did not fare quite as well, I almost always preferred the hardware version. I thought the LXP was remarkably similar to my hardware, I could usually tell the difference, but I could not tell you which was which - or even which I liked better, they were slightly (slightly) different, especially for the LXP-5 patches. FTR, I've had the good fortune to use the hardware 480 and 300, and they sound great! I might even be tempted to say better, but that would be based on memory, and of course some bias that comes naturally from being in the same room as these revered devices! I also tried the demo versions of the Lexicon PCM and LXP plug-ins. although it is a lot more difficult to use (can you really have too many parameters?) I also liked the Relab LX480. Another one that fits with this group is the UA 224. You might say one works better on a specific project, or even track, but they are all wonderful sounding reverbs. in fact I don't think you can say that any one of the three sounds better. The Aether stuff comes close, and all of them come close to the hardware. but not often!Īs far as plug-in reverbs go, I'd have to agree with Mike, it's darned difficult to beat the Exponential Audio plug-ins. ![]() However, I only have one PCM-90, so unless I am printing I have to use it sparingly, and I have no problem substituting the LXP on certain tracks. This applies to mixes as well as solo'd tracks. There is no question, in my room, to my ears, that the PCM sounds WAY better than the LXP-1. I have an LXP-1, LXP-5, and PCM-90 in my rack. Keeping in mind that there are a LOT of factors in play here (personal taste, your ears, your monitoring environment, etc). ![]() With every new realease I hope they will return in their policy and show more respect to all the old users of 8.5.3 (that left now?). New hate with X1 and X2, but a lot of old love for Cakewalk, still. Good teachers and they 'judge' your work in a very positive way. I learned a lot about mastering and mixing by some SAE courses. #PHOENIX VERB VS VALHALLA ROOM 64 BIT#best regards, mike didap Can somebody tell me the difference in math quality between these three plugins from Lexicon? I know there should be no difference between PCM and LXP, beside the number of algorithmes, but MPX? MPX is really cheap, I saw that you can buy it online for about $ 65,- And who has experience with working in X2 with (one of) these plugins? I am talking about the 64 bit versions. I think you'll find out that it is on sale because it is a legacy product and they are just selling what they can with out regard for an ability to support it with further development or patches. ![]() Mike_mccue You might want to give Harman a call and ask them if they have anyone there who knows anything about the PCM, LXP, or MPX reverb VSTs that you can speak with.
