Where can I hear some demos ?
-
I believe all his demos for VSL use this particular Lexicon.
However, keep in mind that there is a huge difference in price and sound between the MPX550 and boxes like the TC 6000 and Lexicon 960!
You can also find demos from Maarten here:

Personally I would rather buy a Mac with Altiverb or wait a few months until PC's deliver the same quality as Altiverb with GigaPulse and/or other convolvers with new impulse libraries.

Peter

Ah, I was confused, I thought you meant GigaPulse on Danny Elfman's score. [[;)]]
Bart worked on a featured pop song.

BTW, weird to see that even John Debney contributed some music to this movie.

Hey SyQuEsT,
You have bought this expensive box? Or rented one? Just curious [[;)]]
I am still considering to do a high-quality impulse sampling project of the TC 6000 and the Lex 960L.
I am still not sure though how much the modulation and randomisation algorithms contribute to the final sound. These aspects are hard, if not at all, to capture with impulses.
After reading technical papers from David Griesinger (main man behind the Lex) I get the impression that these boxes are actually better than sampled spaces, as they tend to give a perceptually more pleasing space, instead of a physically "correct" space. Let's not forget that our sensory systems are very "subjective" and not "objective".
Cheers,
Peter

The System 6000 is much more intuitive and easier to handle than the 960. It is simply the more recent concept. Soundwise, it is a matter of taste - some like the "kitsch"-factor of the Lexicons more, while others (like me) tend to prefer the puristic approach of the t.c.-algorithms.
Apart from that, it's quite understandable that both companies tend to badmouth convolution, as they put enormous efforts into the development of their algorithms. Nevertheless, I made the experience that as soon as it comes to virtual _RE_creation of an orchestral setting nothing beats the real thing. It's like the difference between re-synthesis and sampling.
