I have a Steinway grand, a nice Fender guitar with a tube amp, and a Selmer saxophone too. I kind of grew up with the Lexicon 480L sound so maybe that's why? I use the Lexicon on the UAD card and it sounds awesome every time. For example, I can't stand a lot of reverbs people use - some quite well-known - and am mystified that they can tolerate listening to them. I don't agree that effects all sound the same.

Besides, when I change OS or hardware, they don't sting me for unnecessary upgrades or paid "maintenance" or something.

They can afford whatever they want, and UAD is what they chose. Plenty of Famous People use them too and some of those people have pretty good ears. I love the UAD sound and I always include some live elements, even if it's just me playing. Why is everybody (except José) trying to talk her out of this?Īdmittedly, if you're using only samples or pure electronic sounds, maybe the plugins matter less? IDK.
