INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Lexicon
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
LE offers integrated multitrack audio and MIDI recording, editing, and mixing, VST
Instrument support, VST plug-in effects support, and an array of additional features.
The included Lexicon reverb plug-in is also 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 Steinberg Cubase
Cakewalk
