****ing great sound inserts on my mix dream has such a cool vibe dont know how it is vs the 480l but man sound really amazing just i am thinking what sample rate to put it does it mater if im doing it through the converters?

If you using the unit in analog mode don't worry.
enjoy.
yeah I compared the 96 to 480..your not missing anything

Round i was amazed sounded so lush yet has that 80s vibe yet modern any advice i was thinking of getting another unit since i use 2 reverb when i work

run in firewire mode it gives two reverbs won't need to buy another one it sounds good against 960l too

elambo Problem i can't becasue i use win xp on my Mac to run NUendo 4 unless they make drivers

Also i know the 480l was big is there a way to make the pcm96 sound like the 480 in someway so i get a idea more gritty i guess.

yeah get something w/ a different texture, a real plate or spring.
EMT,AKG..etc
or for not a lot of money get a Platesonics or coolsprings

Round what would you advice?

What sort of sound are you looking for?

depeche mode new wave synth vibe that is why the lex is great with the vintage design cl1 mk2 and my new ma5

For starters you might wanna check out some of the cheaper older harder grainy sounding Yamaha SPX's Roland SRV 2000's[both cheap,I got a bunch for free], the eventide Princeton 2016 reissue sounds cool or maybe an AMS RMX16[not cheap]
Some of the convos have the old stuff sampled too

there are alot of spx yamahas does it matter?

would you consider the cheap reverbs good? compared to the new lex

It's been hinted elsewhere on the forum that Lexicon will have new products at AES (October 4). You may want to delay your choice for a week to see what they (and others) show there.

you want the gritty hard in your face 12 bit thing go for the 90 or 50..
the 900 series is a bit smoother.
me personally I'll take the 50 and 90 for the over the top 80s thing
those sound where pretty over the top..go for the gusto!

completely different to the lush thing.
sometimes its fun to mix it up w/ cheap over the top cartoon weird stuff.
I don't always want everything to sound perfect...
its fun to fvck shit up toothumbsup

I am not encouraged. They don't even have the 96 working right yet and they are coming out with another product?

The problem was with FW mode, and not everyone had issues, and most of those who did found that the latest drivers fixed their issues. Mine works perfectly now.

I say bring it on Lexicon!

well i know firewire does not work on the window side i just use the unit

It would explain why they're slow to fix the FW problems if they've been working on another product. Companies only have a fixed number of engineers, and showing a product at AES would be important. Perhaps they'll be freed up to fix bugs once they show whatever they're going to show.

Since i can only use the the lex with one sterero do you think it is dumb to buy another lex pcm96 so when i want to use a flanger and shit like that

the 96 doesn't have any flanger effects.
I'd get something different

it does well from what i played around with delay choras flanger reverb.
But allways use two reverbs so that is my problem

then should my other reverb me the m7 maby its to real for me

Oh, but it does. Flanger, chorus, all sorts of delays. And who knows what else might turn up for it...

I feel like an idiot..your right,,I'm staring at the menu right now..just so locked working in the verb algos

Well worth the money spent that is why i was thinking of another one buy it.

I feel like an idiot when i play with the lex becasue i start to drool hahaha

YOU do! Care to share???

Yes,If you want great realistic real spaces,room algos this is the one to get.
