Lexicon Omega Desktop Recording Studio is a completely integrated computer recording system that includes the Omega 8x4x2 USB I/O Mixer, Steinberg’s Cubase LE audio and MIDI recording software, and Lexicon’s Pantheon VST Reverb plug-in.

An 8-input, 4-Bus, 2-output USB I/O mixer with inserts, instrument input, MIDI I/O and complete metering and monitoring functions allows you to record up to 4 tracks at once and mix without additional mixing hardware.

The Lexicon Omega includes:

• 2 Female XLR inputs
• 2 1/4” TRS inputs
• 4 1/4” TRS line inputs
• 1 1/4” mono jack instrument input
• 2 1/4” TRS line outputs
• 1 1/4” stereo jack headphone output
• Phantom Power
• MIDI interface
• Mac and Windows Compatible
• USB connection
• Steinberg Cubase LE

The Lexicon Omega has input gain controls, four recording busses, and full monitoring features, in one portable I/O Mixer.

Lexicon's website doesn't say which recording programs the Omega will work with. You'd think this would be pretty valuable information to someone looking to buy this product. I don't understand why they don't make this information readily available?

The Lexicon Omega Desktop Recording Studio goes for around $299. But shop around, you'd be surprised how cheap you can find stuff now days.
