I just saw this. It looks like it is very straight forward. The fact that you can chain up to four together and store all the mixes makes it really attractive for live multi-person set ups. I'll have to go play with one. I'd love to hear from someone who has had a chance to be an early user.

You don't say And I just got a Lexicon Omega Studio... Guess I'll have to get a PlasticSmith mini Tower to match it.icedsushi wrote:I think they were "inspired" by the appearance of the mac mini.
Wonder if you could stack the mini and the Inspire, and that IOmega external drive. And anything else with the same form factor, of course.

Based on a week's use, sounds very nice. Actually now that I had a closer look at the Inspire specs, I have no regrets for getting the Omega.wazzlez wrote:And Cone, how do you like the Lexicon Omega? It seemed pretty impressive by the number of inputs and the price, but how are things like latency and sound quality?
I was seriously going for the Firebox, but the Omega has an extra pair of line inputs plus inserts and separate phantom power for the mic preamps and separate phantom power. USB 1.1 is enough for me, if I ever need to record more than four inputs at the same time, I'll get a FireWire interface.
Overall latency 7.0 ms at 44.1 kHz (3.0 out, 4.0 in), with a buffer size of 128 samples. I was thinking of running the RMAA tests next time I boot up my PC. On the Mac no noticeable noise. The preamps sound great to me (using an Audio-Technica Pro 31 mic).
Works just great with Live 5. Some cons though: no power switch, not bus powered, Lexicon Pantheon Reverb only works with Cubase LE.

I second that - can you seperate the headphone out and the RCA outs to two different signals?robin wrote:all i need to know is: is the headphone and stereo pair output separately routable in live?
if so this looks like a nice device.
That's critical!

can anyone answer this?
half a man walks with no shadow
i emailed presonus but had no reply yet.
so looking at the software to control this is does look like the headphone and master out are separately addressable. i also found a german site that suggested you could use the device with Traktor in this manner too.
....and i missed the bit about RIAA pre-amps for recording from a turntable.
if all the above works out i'm very tempted by one of these.
