I really must say that you’ve taught me a lot, and that Lexicon presentation was brilliant, as it’s one of the strangest reverbs on the market. I’ve known it by sight for years, as I’m a professional musician with many Warsaw Symphony Orchestras, so I’ve seen it hundreds of times in the studio whilst recording film scores. Now I’m working as a composer myself, and I really enjoy your presentations. Keep up the good work. All the best, and best regards from Warsaw!!!

I've watched a lot of product explanation videos, but yours is truly the best. Thank you so much for creating such a great video! :)<br>I've run into many plugins like this delay that are tricky to wrap my head around. <br>I'd be so grateful if you could create an explanation video for it as well—truly great videos like yours are surprisingly hard to come by! :)

I am so thankful that Arturia made a modern interface for the Lexicon 😅.

I’ve had this plug-in for several months and have not really used it. It was hard to figure out what all the buttons did but now you showed me so thank you! I think I will use it now.

Great video, clear and to the point. <br><br>I totally understand the appeal to emulate faithfully a classic piece of gear but that implies bringing back the terminology and the display limitations of the original (the Lexicon 224 was launched in 1978). I think this kind of plugin should include an option for a “modern” display, with better visualization. I believe most plugin users never used an actual Lexicon 224, so the excuse of “familiarity” doesn’t apply.<br><br>Anyway, a great sounding reverb, with an interface that clearly shows its age, and that is cryptic and confusing for most users today.<br><br>My 0.02. Cheers!

UA Lexicon 224 & 448 are the best sounding verbs I've ever used. (AND a great tutorial, thank you Sir)

I have the Arturia LX24...this UAD one, at $39 is a no brainer, and yeah, I didn't know about most of these controls. Thanks. Great video.
