Lexicon Omega
Howdy Humbuckers
While I'm on the topic of giving bad reviews...Let me revisit the Lexicon Omega again. If you will recall, I purchased this to up the ante on my remote recording rig so that I could record 4 tracks simultaneously to my laptop for live records and such. My experience with the Omega has only gotten worse and I find something distasteful about it every time I use it.
Right now my biggest complaint is the noise floor. To put it bluntly, it sucks. Every recording I do with it has some kind of hum or buzz lying underneath that I have to use a denoiser to remove. I'm currently recording some teleseminars for internet marketing big-wig Ken McArthur and as if telephone recordings weren't bad enough, the Omega adds its own noise to make it worse.
So add that to the unusable hum this unit gives with phantom power engaged, and it's a pretty frustrating piece of gear. Which is too bad because if everything worked correctly, it would be a nice unit. Drop it to 2 stars out of 5.
Right now I'm listening to the sounds of the world through an open window on an unseasonably warm Philadelphia day. But soon I'll probably hear the sounds of my wife snoring while taking a nap next to me ;-)
Rock on

Your probably a idiot like your mother-in law thinks you are! You haven't got a clue on recording equipment.
I Have a Lexicon Omega and as a newbie, it works well for me. I simply followed instructions and then too, I spent some time, reading, researching, and speaking with Tech guys from Sweetwater, Lexicon Pro, yamaha etc. via online and telephone. You Tube also offers a world of advice and tips for newbies or any one for that matter who is trying to work the Omega.
You must be some kind of idiot for reeel. You wanna give me that Omega? I need one for my office downtown, Columbus, GA. I can gurantee you that as soon as I get it, it's gonnas work just fine with absolutely no noise.............do we have a deal or what?
