I bought this sound card a little over a month ago for $379 but didn't realise it wasn't compatible with my PC (idiot!)
Its back in its box with the cd, all the paperwork and product codes.! This is a legitimate offer, I have reciept of purchase
This sound card is brilliant, it has the same setup as a top of the line mbox2 by Digidesign.(for a fraction of the price:mbox 2 = $1195 with pro tools Le) it has also twice the ammount of inputs for mics and midi than an mbox2 mini($495 with pro tools). so for $315 with cubase Le4, this is a bargain!
I have worked with pro tools and cubase and still prefer cubase. Alot of professional producers and engineers also prefer cubase, its such an easy proggrame to use
Here are some stats on what your'e getting:
The Lambda Desktop Recording Studio system includes everything needed for portable and professional recordings, including the Lambda Studio USB I/O mixer, Steinberg's Cubase LE multi-track PC and Mac OS X recording software as well as the Lexicon Pantheon reverb VST plug-in.
Now joining the Omega Studio is the new Lexicon Lambda Desktop Recording Studio, a bus-powered USB audio I/O mixer and MIDI interface that comes as a complete recording solution with Cubase LE and Pantheon VST Reverb plug-in. Based on the Omega Studio, the Lambda Studio features two XLR microphone inputs designed by dbx, with TRS inserts and switchable +48V phantom power. Rounding out the full complement of connectivity on the Lambda are two TRS balanced 1/4 in. line inputs, two TRS balanced line outputs, a 1/8 in. front-panel mounted high-power headphone output jack, a front-panel ultra-high-impedance instrument input, and MIDI input and output.
Conveniently powered directly from the USB bus, the Lambda Studio can stream four channels of 44.1 or 48 kHz audio at either 16- or 24-bit resolution to Mac or PC computers. Users can record two tracks at once from up to four input sources, as well as recording MIDI. The microphone and line inputs have individual level controls and peak meters, and are summed at the analog-to-digital bus. Mono / stereo monitoring is provided, as is Zero-latency Direct / Playback Monitoring, allowing for delay-free overdubs. A 2-channel, 4-segment LED bargraph meter indicates input level, and phantom power and USB LED indicators provide status information.
As with all the recording solutions from Lexicon Pro, the Lambda Studio and Omega Studio hardware can be used with almost any recording and sequencing software the user prefers.
Rounding out the Lambda Studio package, the acclaimed Pantheon VST reverb plug-in offers a wealth of factory programs drawing from the respected Lexicon heritage, controlled by an intuitive user interface with editable parameters.
With the Omega Studio, Lexicon set new standards for quality and capability in a USB-based audio recording system. Now with the Lambda Studio, Lexicon has taken that quality and power and made it accessible to musicians and recording enthusiasts at unprecedented price points.
