[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 57164, member: 126"] re: X32 Discussion Can you have your software guys code a version that makes the entire X32 sound like a Neve or SSL console? :-) How close do you predict your models will be? A Lexicon reverb copy should be straightforward. To sound the same use the same reverb algorithms. It could actually be harder to cover a cheap spring. Legacy analog gear OTOH can have multiple, subtle non-linear internal relationships that define their signature sounds besides the obvious side-chain rectification, time constants, etc. Given enough computing power and bandwidth anything can be modeled, but what is practical in the context of a free desk plug-in? The LA-2A for example has numerous moving parts defining it's characteristic sound that will not be trivial to replicate. A common complaint of legacy mimics is that they only cover a few superficial characteristics, not the entire secret sauce. This is not impossible to do, but surely not easy. I gather from this you have a significant surplus of computing power available to use after meeting the needs of baseline operation? Good luck, at least your software engineers can't say they don't have anything to work on.. :-) JR [/QUOTE]
