Definitely worth it....it's interesting to get this sort of feedback. I must be honest in saying that I have a Lexicon LXP-1, which I was going to sell, thinking that modern units would be better and more versitile. I may put that on hold for now!

Just wondering how the Lexicon MX range, for example, compare to plugin reverbs at present?

Yes, this one does seem good as a general home studio mic - the included foam wind sheild also helps simplify recording duties.

Thanks for the replies. How close can mics be matched in sound by using eq?

I came across a thread praising the Sure SM7B. Any users like to comment?

I don't know much about these mics, I'll go and check it out. Thanks

I am looking for a warm sounding mic to record vocals (male-soft sounding voice) and mic guitar cabs, maybe bass, in a very small home studio. Space is a problem so it will need to be a simple set up with no in between power supply. I'm not sure how many mics need power supplies? Obviously I...

Thanks for the replies - got a bit lost on the last few posts though:rolleyes: So will it sound different enough to make an improvement - bigger smoother vocal sound?:)

I have a UAD-1 card which can do most of the eq & compression but I am wondering if the channel strip will have a different quality more suited to tracking?

Well I actually have 'The Brick' preamp and I was wondering what sort of difference I would hear to my vocals through a channel strip like the oneQ, using a Groove Tubes 67 valve mic and an SM57? Thanks

Although I am looking for a new and hopefully smaller bass combo for my home studio my 100 watt Marshall with an sm57 mic 6-12 inches in front can sound really full. I have never obtained a good bass sound with plugin amp sims or D.I although the D.I can be down to the quality and price you pay...

Thanks for the tips :)

My post was mainly about recording vocals. I use it in hypercardoid mode which is obviously the best setting. I use the bass roll off on the mic which helps. Thanks for the comments - I will cut the gain on the preamp and try singing a bit louder. I found my SM57 to be ok on vocals for me...

I bought a Groove Tubes GT67 for my small home studio a few years ago (6x feet - not good on the acoustics either) , and although I think the GT67 sounds very nice, it just seems too sensitive for home studio use, picks up too much external sound and is just a hassle to use. I am unable to...

I'm in a very small room (8x6 feet). It's my office wher I work and it's full of shelves desks filing cabs - I can just about get in myself. My amps are tucked away under my drawing table. Sounds ok when I mic an amp but I down turn it up too loud as everything starts rattling.
