it works fine for the first few months then it kills your computer. This murdered my macbook pro. i cant even hardly type on this mac becuase it distorted the button. it disconnects everytime i record. not worth the money at all.

PROS- Low Price. Decent Mic preamps and converters. Pantheon Reverb is high quality. Good signal routing features.
CONS- Cheap plastic casing. Limited applications – the Pantheon plug-in sounds good, but will ONLY WORK in the version of Cubase LE they ship – which is buggy. Big Letdown.
Also, the USB installer is buggy. From time to time I get a “Found New Hardware’ message and things stop working until I reboot to a previous configuration. HASSLE (sigh).
You get what you pay for. I only purchased this because at the time the EMU1820m was out of stock.
I’ve also got an Echo Layla interface (paid $700 new) from 1998 that still runs GREAT under WinXP, worth every penny.
Now if the Layla from 1998 will run flawlessly on XP, and one released last year will not, it’s obvious that the Lex was rushed into production, COMPROMISED all the way.
The Lexicon Omega is rubbish.

This is an all in one recording audio mixer that is very easy to use and lets the user think he is still using a tape recorder. The quality is excellent and operation is simple. If you don’t want multiple units and wires everywhere buy this device.

Easy to set up on the Mac. Works flawlessly and as expected.
Note: This item must be connected to a power outlet- there simply is NOT enough power in your USB socket on your Mac (or PC)

I have worked with this unit for far too long with too many computers. I have finally given up. Now I have to get this off my chest and hope to save some others who, like me, really hoped this was a great answer to recording at a great price. It’s not. It’s junk. I keep trying to believe that there is something I could do with this unit. But I can’t. It is cheaply built, it records badly, the drivers don’t install right, Cubase LE is worthless, the Pantheon ‘Verb is a joke (might be OK if you are doing some REALLY cheesy new age stuff, but even then it would be a thick wad of cheese fluff). There is nothing worth having in this package. Buy something else. Buy ANYTHING else. Buy a cheap hand held cassette recorder. At least you can record with it. Better yet, by a Zoom H4 and download audiocity and you will have the ultimate portable studio for home and live. I wish I did…
