™
In this example we will show you how to record from a DAT player connected to the
Omega's S/PDIF In directly into the software. Simply connect a 75 Ohm coaxial RCA
cable from the DAT player's S/PDIF output to the Omega Studio's S/PDIF input.
1. Plug the S/PDIF output of your device into the S/PDIF
input of the Lexicon Omega.
2. Press the assign on the front of the Omega. You

using the S/PDIF input.

SECTION II - SUBMIXING ON THE OMEGA

The Lexicon Omega Studio has a total of 9 inputs
(2 mic, 4 line, 1 instrument and 2 digital) and 6
channels of USB audio (4 in and 2 out). This allows
you to record 4 separate simultaneous tracks at one
time. In some cases you may want to use more than
4 inputs. To do this you will need to mix some of the
inputs together on one USB bus. This is called submix-
ing since the audio is mixed before it is recorded.
Here is how this technique works on the Omega. When two sets of inputs are assigned
to the same USB bus assign, the 2 inputs on the right mix together and the 2 inputs on
the left mix together.
So if the USB Assigns for the Line inputs are all set to USB 1-2 (red LEDs on), Line 1 and
Line 3 would get recorded to the first track, and Line 2 and Line 4 would get recorded
to the second track. Inputs that are not assigned to USB 1-2 assign would be recorded
separately – for example, Mic 1 and Mic 2 could be assigned to USB 3-4.

SECTION III - RECORDING MIDI

The Lexicon Omega
tions as a MIDI USB interface. This allows you
to record MIDI data from a keyboard's
MIDI output into a MIDI track of Cubase,
and to play that MIDI data back from the
computer into a keyboard, sound module
or effects processor.
