Zo,
Got to agree. Lexicon dialed in right covers a lot of ground.
Another example of why I'm resisting PSP, as beautiful as it is.
Nice post by Larry somewhere about how if we don't already have the tools to do the job, more tools are useless and we have to rethink where we are in the creative process.
Another post from some warrior about how we get the initial rush of a new plug, use it a couple times, and it recedes into darkness while we chase the next latest, greatest credit card burn. We tend to retain no short term memory regarding what we have already forgotten we have. The pile continues to grow and we are made no better, maybe less for the accumulation.
Catch word in my primitive vocabulary is "excess".
Said before that the ancient rock n' roll masters had a tone control and a spring reverb, tremolo if living on the complex edge of technology. Only so much time in that transparent era to spin knobs around to refine the sound. Combined with high dollar per hour studio fees, you had to create music.
Not to bash modern technology, but are we getting lost away from the primary purpose we think we need this stuff for.
