Just a side note to anyone concerned with piracy for the reason that "kids" could have the same tools as pros... if you think your value or the value of your end product (sound, mix...) depends on the more expensive gear that others cannot afford, then I must say this is quite lame.

Yes, "kids" use Waves and other cracked tools, but they don't know how to use it. When they figure it out they usually go legit, buy licences and start charging their clients... There is some sort of "socialist" feel to it, involuntary altruism by the cracked software developers, but in the end - you are not exclusive because you own something, but because your KNOWLEDGE how to do something with those tools.

Big thumbsup to Lexicon for finally releasing a reverb that could end the meaningless ITB-OTB debates about digital reverbs. I always said in regard to digital reverbs - a code is a code is a code... If contemporary computers can chew it - great! There is no reason why plug-ins should be of lesser quality than a code inside a separate HW unit... It's been debated, I know, but Lexi could proove them HW digital reverb zealots wrong, finally.
