Recording Multiple Channels At One Time - Section I

2 gain knob. Now let’s set the level of the keyboard and the guitar. On the front of the

Omega make sure the METER ASSIGN button is in the 3-4 position (Button is in).

Now play some loud notes on the keyboard and bring the level up on line 4 until you

are near clipping. Strum some chords of the guitar and bring up the line 3 gain until

you are just below clipping.

5. Turn Omega’s Monitor Mix control all the way to Direct, since you’re not over-

dubbing. Adjust headphone level with the Output Level control. Mic 1 and the guitar

will be in the left headphone, and Mic 2 and the keyboard will be in the right. If you

would rather hear everything in the center, press the Monitor switches (beneath the

USB Assign switches) in to the Mono position. But resist the temptation to turn down

levels on the front of the Omega to get a headphone mix – Levels have been properly

adjusted for the best signal-to-noise ratio on the tracks.

6. Now let’s start recording. Click on the RECORD

BUTTON

on Cubase’s Transport Control. Speak or

play an instrument into the microphone. When you are

finished recording press the STOP BUTTON

7. Turn the Omega’s Monitor Mix control clockwise to the Playback position. Now press

Cubase’s PLAYBACK

button to listen back to the tracks you have just recorded.

Adjust the overall listening volume with the Output level knob, and the playback

levels and pan positions of individual tracks with Cubase’s Mixer window.

D. RECORDING FROM S/PDIF

One of the key features of the Lexicon Omega Studio is its ability to monitor S/PDIF

in real time with no latency. This allows you to record directly from a device with the

S/PDIF digital output and listen while you are recording. S/PDIF is a digital signal

that carries a stereo signal on a single cable for left and right.
