During a day of downtime we spent a few hours recording a Lexicon 224XL Impulse Response Library with our hardware 224XL. They are handy to have around! We listened to the 224XL side by side the respective convolution reverb plugin and created some presets using a drum mix. Some a really, really close in sound. Others not so much due to the degree of chorusing which Convolution Reverberation cannot mimic. One or two of the impulses also failed to capture the near infinite decay of the Lexicon presets. All of these impulses are true stereo and were recorded at 24 bit, 96kHz using a Lynx Aurora 16.

From the moment it was unleashed on the audio industry in 1978, the original Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb — with its tactile, slider-based controller and famously lush reverb tail — almost single-handedly defined the sound of an entire era. The original Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb defined the sound of an entire era. This article focuses on the fundamentals of getting started with the UAD Lexicon 224 Digital Reverb Plug-in and includes tips unique to the Lexicon 224 to maximize its sonic potential. The original 224 digital reverb is arguably one of the most legendary digital reverbs in history, gracing thousands of hit records mixed by some of the top engineers in the business. This new FG-224 and 224XL expansion pack for VerbSuite Classics features full Fusion Captures of both the original 224 and the even more acclaimed 224XL units,.

Waves IR-1 & IR-L – Waves own convolution reverb plugin offers true stereo functionality and a lot of great included impulse responses. Unfortunately the 224XL isn’t on the list! We created these impulses separately using the sine sweep that Waves provides. One of the really annoying aspects of the IR-1 & IR-L is the lack of any real user preset function. We found a way to work around this, so please follow the installation instructions within the separate download archives – if anyone can confirm the PC installation part it would be much appreciated.

Avid Space – Originally created by Trillium Labs, its pretty common to trip over an instance of Avid Space if working in Protools. It was recently given a visual update and rebranded to Avid with the release of Protools 11. Unlike Waves IR-1, Space really have the user preset features of the plugin down to an art. It is possible to added any folder of impulses on your computer to the list. It is also possible to save ten snapshots of settings & IR files per preset saved within Protools. It will even allow you to embed the IR into the preset file. Amazing! The only slightly odd aspect of the plugin is that it seemingly lacks signal level on the processed sound when using any third party impulse responses. To get around this, we crank the output & wet level faders in the plugin.

Liquidsonic Reverberate – It is possibly one of the quiet achievers in the convolution reverb world. It offers incredible features like two convolution engines per plugin (they will even work with two true stereo impulses!) and chorus/modulation controls… all for a RIDICULOUS 50 quid! Or jump in for free with Reverberate LE. It will even run via a graphics card that supports CUDA.

First I wanted to buy the Lexicon 480L, but after demoing the 224, too, I decided to buy this one. For me it sounds smoother, more analog than the 480L. I use it to make rockmusic and it sounds well on vocals, drums, guitars, bass. Before that I used the Lexicon LXP Native Reverb bundle, but I don't need it anymore.
