My friend has a gift for understatement. Hahah... it seriously blows chunks. :vomit:

I wrestled with it for a while, adjusting it, hoping it would be passable for a "confidence" reverb when tracking vocals. I flat out gave up and and instead bought a used Lexicon MX200 hardware unit on Craigslist that has SPDIF in/out so I could hook it up to my 828es without having to give up precious analog I/O.

Good to know thanks! Guess I'm not missing anything there.

I've got a MX200 as well that still stands the test of time for it's quality. Been using it for other things (live PA setup stuff) but your idea sounds excellent.

Thanks for all your MotuNation work over the years!
