Introduction

INTROdUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Lexicon
Studio™. The Alpha Studio is a complete package of hardware and software that turns
your USB-equipped computer into a professional multitrack recording workstation.
Whether you use it for high-quality stereo location recording with a laptop computer,
or for multitrack overdubbing and mixing in a home studio desktop system, the Alpha
Studio hardware provides the professional-quality inputs and outputs, metering, and
level controls that computer sound cards or built-in audio connections lack.
So you can make full use of the Alpha Studio right away, we've included the popular
Steinberg
Cubase LE 4 offers integrated multi-track recording, editing and mixing of up to 48
audio tracks, 64 MIDI tracks, VST
port, and an array of additional features. Lexicon's Pantheon™ VST reverb plug-in
is a major feature of the Alpha Studio package, providing the lush Lexicon reverbs
that have been used on professional recordings for over thirty years. Alternatively, the
Lexicon Alpha Studio may be used as an interface with almost any other major audio
recording software you may have, such as Cakewalk
and many others.
