I have used the Omega in about 5 different DAW programs and it worked great with each one of them. Setting up the Omega is simple and it can really work in any of your programs that you use. I know that Omega is a older interface but I will take it any day over the Alpha (which is the newer one). The Omega’s preamp is not as quiet as the preamp on the Lexicon Alpha, but the latency is a lot lower on the Omega then it is on the Alpha. You can use this interface on your PC or your Mac computer and it cost less than 200 dollars. It does have MIDI in and MIDI out plus it comes with a copy of Cubase LE. It is a 8 channel USB interface that has 2 XLR mic preamps and 4 TRS inputs. The Lexicon Omega was on the first full portable bundles that I had for my laptop about 5 years ago. I like a little less noisy knobs manipulation. I particularly appreciate the input microphones and instrument input on the front panel. The price / quality ratio is simply excellent, given the number of available inputs.
Previously, I went out of my console directly into the line input of the sound card's internal computer. This is my first digital audio interface.

The interface has direct monitoring required.Ĭonnecting to a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6.Īutomatic recognition. Without beings connected to a computer, the interface can be simple mixer, each with its own input diposant volume knob.Īudio in Logic, I work with a buffer of 512 samples (24.4 msecs) but can drop below 10 msecs no problem for the interface. The interface allows you to record 4 of these 6 ways simultaneous inputs. This is not serious, but we need to know.
So that when my device is connected, the line input is inactive. The instrument input is in parallel to the input line 3. The two mic inputs have dbx preamp with phantom power, I believe transparent. With 2 mic inputs, entry instruments and 4 line inputs, the Lexicon Omega is perfect for my use. I was looking for a USB audio interface with digital microphone input 1, 1 instrument input and 2 line inputs.
