On the other hand, Windham Hill Records used a Lexicon 224 on all of their early 'new age' albums (George Winston, etc). Three years ago I nearly purchased that very 224 from Steven Miller (the engineer on all those records), but alas, he sold it out from under me... |
Ok, it was a EMT 250... one algorithm. I thought that ECM was Lexicon all the way.
Ahha, so WH used a 224? I heard difference from them anyway. ECM and WH. They're different music altogether in spite of using mostly acoustic instruments. I think that ECM one, EMT 250 must have been swapped out over at ECM (or Rainbow studios in Oslo) a long time ago. Although ECM started out in 1969 it sounds as if - almost - they were made for big ambient production from the start on, and when EMT 250 came around, it must've been their wet dream come through. I'll bet they're using Bricasti nowadays...
no seriously, they can use whatever. TC if they like. And also I think that - today - you can mimick the EMT250 algorithm inside any PC and software/convolution reverb anyway. Not to one hundred percent though, but damm near close. Get a decent one anyway, but without all the editing tweaks of a real EMT 250.
