If you want Lexicon, then only PCM
Fair enuff. Maybe the MXP can do some gritty lo-fi, then? Guess I'll test it! :)
A well-behaved signature.

Yes, they are different, MXP was the cheapest line of products Lexicon had, LXP the middle one and PCM the top one

It's funny, I think the google AI response to my question acted like MXP was the premium product :D

There are many other, more suitable alternatives for lo-fi needs. Lexicon is not designed for lo-fi

In fact, there are also some other retailers that offer the same or sometimes even cheaper prices.
@Uncle E: will you offer this price in your shop too?

I can't decide between this bundle and Cinematic Rooms Pro. Which one would be better? I remember people complaining about some bugs in Lexicon plugins that were never fixed so it's almost like abandonware. Is it true?

Only by listening to yourself can you understand what is ''better'' :)
I have been using PCM for many years. With Windows + Cubase PRO.
I have not noticed any problems. You can also check out Hofa Reverb IQ

I mean... the Lexicon PCM algos are pretty widely regarded as the best in the world, regardless of entrants in the last decade or so. You'll find a lot of ammo on that side of the fence from some very respected members of the gearspace forum. It's legitimately the same (minus emulation of converters, analog stages, etc) algo-wise as having a PCM96, so, you effectively save yourself a cool $5k and then get a bunch of really nifty additional FX if you grab the total version....

I'm having a very hard time holding back pulling the trigger on it and I've spent WAY too much money on plugins as of late :(

If you want something Lexicon, it might be worth checking out Relab's products. They sound pretty close to me.

You CAN do it :tu: I've found so much value in exploring what software I already have.
This isn't what you think.

It doesn't seem like we'll be carrying it. I'll try. I think this is the first time they've been on sale in the last 2 years.
