Lexicon Alpha Digital Recording Interface

Works on Linux

This device works out-of-box on Ubuntu 16+. The stereo/mono switch is invaluable when monitoring mono sources like guitars and vocals. I haven't used it enough to have an opinion on the preamp, but it sounds much cleaner than my previous M-Audio interface. There is no phantom power that I can see, but I also haven't looked at the manual either. I have no idea what the bundled software is like, I just plugged it in a got started. I liked this interface so much I bought a second for a friend and installed it easily on a Dell laptop with Windows XP. Lexicon really captured the correct price-point with this item.Read full review

Disappointment

The software on this unit is hard to install and instructions are vague. The registration process for the item takes several steps and is overly complicated. Most companies have you click a button and it takes you to the website or uploads registration. This one has you chasing things down in hard to find places to copy and paste serial numbers etc. Try not to buy this unless you have a software engineering degree and enjoy challengesRead full review

Waste of money

Inputs do not work. Tried every tech trick in the book. Only the outputs are functional. The programs also fail to work. Cubase keys are not operational. Even Senheiser themselves could not help.

Great interface

I needed this for a newer macbook that no longer has line in capabilities for recording. This is perfect for controlling the input levels.

Excellent value

Good sound/converters at a really great price. Not the highest quality components, but you can't beat the value and ease of use. Would buy again, easily.

Noisy

When I use it with my iMac to record I cannot turn it up ( input or output ) because of white noise . Other than that it works as it should .

Everything I need.

Small personal recording could not be done at a better value. No phantom power though.

not user friendly

you have to be an engineer to record a song if you have a month or two to learn how to use i guess its ok
