I’m just wondering what some people think about this:
It’s obvious that a $6000 dollar Lexicon rack unit is going to have more control over sound then a small plug-in that one my use with Logic, or Sonar.
But as far as processing the sound (in regards to similarity and function)
Can a 24bit plug-in produce the same digital sound realness as a rack unit in general terms?
For example can the Lexicon Pantheon reverb plug in produce the same refractions and realness as the real deal being the actual unit? Is signal being calculated the same?
This also brings up the question about Guitar Pre amps: Lets say you were to install a Marshall pre amp plug in LogicAudio, would the guitar signal be processed the same as if the signal was going through a real Marshall head?
I know the speakers have to be taken into consideration but that’s not the point:
To ask my question in a different way: Are these expensive software plug-ins calculating algorithms the same way a Real rack would?
Thanks
