Gates

I have the Autocom,and it has gates whereas the Composer doesn't.
 
I ordered the AutoComm this morning. The price was too good to pass up.
 
Autocom vs. Multicom

I really want the Multicom, because it's 4 comps in 1, but on the other hand it doesn't have gates. How important is it to have gates for analog tape multitracking and how important is it to have gates as a part of a comp? Thanks.
 
Lexicon

I must agree with Mr ranchfield, low end Lexicons,
like the MPX 100 are not impressive. They are clear,
but many of the effects sound too fake and unrealistic.
I can get some decent delays from the unit if I just use a little, but chorus, pitch, halls, and etc sound like cartoon effects if ya know what I mean. My cheap 93'
Alesis Microverb unit sounds better ! Yes, we get what we pay for. - Anybody want to buy it ?
I'm going to unload it on ebay....
