Easy to use Lexicon Omega Desktop Recording Studio
The Lexicon Omega is a clever device, very easy to use, even with other softwares than Cubase, that comes included with the package. I connected two Shure microphones to it, and the USB cable, using an Apple adapter USB > Apple connector, to my iPad 2. After a few tests, I got a quite nice piano recording quality, using the MultiTrack DAW app on the iPad . I have not yet tested all the possibilities the device offers, but from the experience I had so far, it is quite easy to use. Next test shall be with my MacBook using some other recording softwares. Anyway, I recomend it as an inexpensive way of making quick recordings, that can then be polished with some other softwares. And for about 145 dollars, it is a really good deal. The only restriction I could notice is not caused by the Lexicon Omega itself, but by the Apple adapter. Using the same MultiTrack DAW software on my iPhone 4, I got a message saying that the adapter is not compatible with the iPhone 4. So, I could not make a video with the quality The Lexicon Omega allows. That's a pity, and something Apple should take care. The solution was using the iRig Mic, thal also gives a good recording quality, but depending on the used software, does not offer the controls the reviewed device allows.

Burned twice by this stupid machine
I got burned twice by this thing. The volume knob was faulty (poor connection) on both units. Volume shorts out on one side and you'll get a static hiss as you turn the knob up. Think white noise on a TV. This is different than ground hum noise. I sent in my first unit to be repaired and it was noticeably better, for a few months that is, then went back to business as usual. The thing started to get really noisy (ground hum) after awhile too. Recording became a nightmare. So I bought another one, thinking since my 2004 model was older a new modern one would be better. Wrong. This new unit is brand new, and I get the volume knob static right out of the box. A few weeks later and the thing is only playing sound out of the left speaker in stereo mode. No matter what. Switch the mono knob on and you get sound through both speakers, but I can't record or playback in stereo. I reset the system and everything. Haven't even had the unit for more than 2 months. Quality control is a nightmare for this company. I read some people actually get decent working units, but I guess I wasn't one of the lucky ones. Spend the extra $100 and buy a Akai Professional EIE interface instead.

Great 4 track interface for the price!
This thing is now on sale for $150 and it records 4 tracks simultaneously - comes with Cubase too. What's not to like?I have had it for 4 months - works perfectly and has provided a great unit for my band (4 piece) to record all of our practices and create SOLID demos. If you are looking for something to record live off the floor OR want a solid unit for doing home recordings where drums might be involved (4 tracks again!) -- you cannot go wrong.I would HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone and already have a few friends looking to place an order -- especially for the price!!Best interface value out there right now in my opinion.

The sound quality is very good. One of the requirements I had was a DB/peak meter on the device, instead of in the software. This really helps remove clipping and distortion on the digital side, as you are controlling the peaks at a much better stage of the digital conversion chain.Installation of the software was a breeze, with one exception. When I first tried it out, I didn't really read the directions and left the device set as the main audio device in windows, and got no audio from it. You can't set it as your main sound device in windows (but you can in individual applications). I assume this is to keep the signal clean. I am using a relatively old system (athlon 750, 500m ram, 20G HD, usb 1.1) and was pleased that I had no issues with recording on this system yet (Except when the HD got full, then it started skipping on recording and playback. This was fixed easily on my end). So far I have recorded up to 8 stereo (16 mono) tracks with no issues in playback or recording.The included software is a huge bonus. I normally use Audacity and Cakewalk, but the real-time use of VST plug-ins in Cubase are nice. I'm still trying to figure out Cubase. When I first tried the lexicon reverb, I thought it sounded terrible. However, I discovered that in Cubase, the inserts default to 100% effect in the mix. When I corrected the wet/dry mix it sounded much better.As far as hardware goes, the unit seems solidly constructed. It is bigger than I expected from what I saw in the photos, but is not obnoxious considering the knobs and jacks that have to fit somewhere. It requires it's own power (separate from USB) but that is good because it reduces another source of line noise by separating the power line. It could be taken somewhere with a laptop (assuming there is a power supply) but I am not sure it was designed as a portable device. The knobs all seem solid and smooth. The jacks have a quality "snap" to them that makes them feel sturdy.My one complaint is that the device isn't intended to be set as the main sound device in windows. This means I had to send the sound card output to a mixer to hear media player or other windows functions at the same time as my audio inputs through the Omega. I can see why they did this to keep windows beeps and bells from ruining your recording but it is a slight annoyance when I want to practice to a CD using the computer. That said, it is a minor inconvenience and outside the scope of what the product was intended for (recording). There may even be a workaround that I am not aware of.All in all I am happy with it, and it is nice to know that there is still much more I can do with the software that I haven't figured out how to do yet. To me this means that my recordings will only get better as I learn the capabilities of this system.

Fonctionne sous Linux
Cela faisait longtemps que je cherchais un micro studio afin d'enrgistrer Guitare, basse, micro et clavier sur mon pc (sous Linux).Le Lexicon Omega répond parfaitement à mon besoin, permettant de connecter micros et instruments au travers de nombreux connecteurs.Un des gros points positifs est qu'il est supporté directement dans le kernel Linux (ici 4.4.1-gentoo)

Fantastic audio interface
This audio interface is great. Works a treat and is easy to set up and use.The included Cubase will give you everything you need to record multitrack music (if you need better than that you'll already know it). Cubase was a touch fidley to register but not too bad. And once it is all working it is great.You can also use this with iPads - get the camera connection kit and it just works.The only downsize is the size - mainly due to having physical knobs to control input level. Not a bother to me but you can get smaller interfaces if that matters to you.

Does the job and that's what I needed.
Having been betrayed by Mackie and their decision to stop supporting the Spike, I got the Lexicon out of necessity rather than choice. It does the job well enough, though. It's not as simple as the Spike, but it does more. Not as aesthetically pleasing either, looking as it does like a breeze block with knobs on. But it does more.
