Members sub5ound Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Lexicon-Alpha-USB-Audio-Interface?sku=245507 My current band situation has me thinking about what my next musical evolution will be, and I think it's this. I can't spend alot of cash and I also plan on purchasing a guitar down the road, so I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on this little piece of equipment. I plan on recording basslines and then overdubbing with other instruments played by others or myself...maybe even some of you! What are some of the benefits/limits of these devices other than the obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 I'm sure that'd be fine but I'd probably go with something that has two inputs, you never know when you're going to need the extra one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with this statement. When you get a drum machine, you'll want two inputs. All part of the natural evolution of a project studio. EDIT: just looked at a different view. Stereo in/out. Guitar input, and mic input. This is a good basic recording box. Lexicon makes good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap, that was part of the plan...as soon as I found a power supply for my Roland. Any other units with the softwear and TWO inputs for a similar price? I thought it had an XLR in also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw your edit. So this unit would be ok with a drum machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Melville Posted February 14, 2010 Members Share Posted February 14, 2010 For about another 20 bucks you could get the M-Audio/Digidesign Pro Tools Recording Studio. I don't know anything about the interface, but the Pro Tools software is supposed to be designed so that a more advanced system can open up the LE and M-Powered projects. Meaning, you can record everything at home and then take it somewhere for mixing and mastering (or overdubbing, or to your friends house who has a LE setup for additional recording, etc.) In theory at least. I'm not sure how well it works in practice. Check it out here:http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/ProToolsRecordingStudio.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
