A blind test would be difficult as you need to see the vintage warm glow of the analog lava lamp as opposed to the clinical digital glow of the VST recreation. A master engineer with golden eyes is required.
The real test is between Pro Lava Lamp and Lava Lamp X1d.

Can't afford one because X2 is around the corner. Perhaps Benstat tapped Panup to add a LAVA LAMP screensaver into Sonar.

I think you'll find the UAD one is the most realistic, but you need the card with it.
Still no word on a Lava Lamp in the next Webinar. Cakes silence on this one is deafening! Conspiracy?

Three Lava Lamps in the Studio. They are my best sounding analog gear for sure.

Okay it's official, I finally have a lava lamp in my studio. It helps to concentrate on music while mixing, mastering, or just plain listening for problems....It works for me !!

Since I've moved house, my lava lamp now sits proudly on top of a rack of outboard gear and power supplies. My previous studio room was too cluttered that the lamp would have been in danger of getting knocked over so it always used to be kept away safely in a drawer.

Yes you can still use Sonar, but you'll miss out on watching the lava flow. It sort acts like a music video, it gives you a visual to watch.

When are the 64-bit lava lamps finally going to be released?
This is important!
I hear they're upgrading to 128bit soon.

Thanks for clearing it up ! Don´t know if I´m allowed to have both , a lava lamp and a rose quartz lamp in my studio ? I´m in conscience crises and have to make a decision.

it is intriguing the way lighting can enhance ones perception.
I use all soft bulbs in my studio. 2 rack lights with 4 bulbs a piece, low wattage.
I also have 2 - 40 watt bulbs above my console area. and 2 soft colored bulbs (light blue) so I can use regular light or colored light depending on the mood :-)

I knocked over and broke a lava lamp rearranging my studio last week.
What a freaking mess that was.
I need to Google what the oil is that they fill those things with.
I have no intention of replacing it!

Last night I turned out the lights, put on one of my synth jams, put it on loop, put on my headphones, and just stared at the Lava Lamp, fell asleep in my chair, woke up at 5:30AM. I was so relaxed. LOL
