Pretty Amazing

In the few months I have had the Omega, I have yet to be disappointed. I have done everything from record full songs to Voice Overs for a Radio Speech class. It is so easy to set, install, and operate. I'm not a huge fan of Cubase but for a free version it is not terrible. But the Omega will work with other programs such as Logic. I would definitely recommend this to someone who wants to record and is on a budget.

  Used in our Vocal Music Department

We needed a simple to use, inexpensive device for the Vocal Music Department in our K12 school to use. The teachers are not computer experts and don't want to be.

I set them up with this device and a laptop that I loaded Audacity on because of it's simple interface and ease of use. They are ecstatic with the setup and use it constantly.

A very good investment for our environment and purposes.

Easy to use, easy to setup, sounds excellent and is reliable.

I agree that an on/off switch would be a welcome addition, we just plug it into a power strip and switch it there.

Good for the price 
by Dave from Liberty, MO, February 2006

After much research I decided to purchase the Omega instead of jumping up into the price range of the Firepod. For this price range, the sound is great and it can record 4 analog inputs at once when almost everything else around $300 can only do 2. Wish it had an on/off switch - you have to unplug it to turn it off. But I like controlling and monitoring the levels from the unit as opposed to an on-screen interface. If you don't need to record more than 4 tracks at a time, I would recommend this unit.

Simple To Use 
by John from California, USA, February 2005

Omega is simple to use and has all the basic neccessities for intro digital recording. The item does have 1/4" outputs. The first review was in error. I actually don't use the pro Tracks software but Sonar and it interfaces well. Great value.

Good Interface for Money 
by Taylor Otwell from Hot Springs, AR, January 2005

I bought this Interface to have a affordable solution to track audio to my computer at a reasonable quality. I paired this interface up with a Studio Projects C1 and used Adobe Audition to do my multi-tracking. For the price I would say this is a pretty nice unit. The preamps are useable but not exciting, and I was able to get some decent vocal cuts out of this unit. In this price range, I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants a portable and easy way to get started in recording;however, if you want to get serious about your music, you will probably want to step up to something a little higher end.
