- added ASIO drivers.
- Cubase LE software will replace ProTracks Plus and Bias Deck.
- A VST version of Lexicon's Pantheon reverb plug-in is also included.
Omega Studio Hardware
Differentiating itself from standard computer I/O boxes which are typically
based on a patch-bay paradigm, the Omega 8x4x2 USB I/O mixer is based on a mixer
paradigm and includes input, output and mixing functions that support a variety
of tracking/monitoring applications while requiring no additional mixing
hardware.
The Omega I/O mixer provides 8 inputs which are assignable in pairs to any of
4 simultaneous record channels featuring ultra-transparent, high-resolution
analog to digital converters to capture your performance with pristine 24-bit
quality. Two of the inputs feature extremely low-noise dbx® mic-preamps with 48
volt phantom power and TRS insert points. Four TRS active balanced line inputs
accept up to +22dBu signals to allow interfacing to either unbalanced or
professional high-output level balanced equipment. Included is an S/PDIF input
combined with an additional DAC for zero-latency, direct monitoring of the
S/PDIF source to allow simultaneous tracking of analog and digital sources. A
high-impedance instrument input is conveniently accessible on the front panel.
The Omega I/O mixer provides a peak indicator for each analog input as well as
an assignable bar graph meter for signal level monitoring. By monitoring the
signal at the A/D converters, it avoids the problems with software-only level
monitoring that can miss clipping and ruin your track. The Omega I/O mixer also
includes a fully opto-isolated MIDI input to ensure that there is no annoying
ground loop hum or MIDI talk-through noise common with many I/O boxes and sound
cards. MIDI output has rock-solid synchronization to USB frame rate to support
applications requiring critical sync.
