Ardour and Lexicon Omega USB Interface: It works!

I don’t know how or why it works, but it does! I had connected my Lexicon Omega to my dell laptop with Ubuntu 7.04 installed to use a midi pipe organ program, and I recently decided to download and install Ardour. I just got it opened up and found that it appears that the recording inputs from the Lexicon Omega work as well as the MIDI inputs. I did not think this was possible before, so I’m pretty happy. Now I can record 4 track with my laptop and 8 track with my desktop! So anyway, just wanted to put this out there in case someone was curious. I can’t guarantee success like mine, but try it out, it might work.

Hi.
Very interesting.
Can you describe more in detail - your Lexicon Omega (type…?) and dell (hardware).

Thanks

Hi. That’s a great notice for me. I have one of those Lexicon Omega, I have just istalled ubuntu studio that comes with ardour. Would you please tell me how to configure the inputs to use the Omega? I’m starting my home recording studio.
Thanks

The Lexicon Omega is a USB

The Lexicon Omega is a USB interface supported by coreaudio in OSX and Linux. Alsa also has a driver, so it ’just works’. I
have been using Lexicon for years now with Linux and OSX and Win. Just bought another off e-bay… Great quality card for price range. If you don’t know how to configure your card to work, read the Ardour manual as well as get familiar with jackd (qjackctl). Any questions about this card can be e-mailed to me: stancliff-buxley at comcast dot net.

USB audio is soooo easy in linux now… .

BTW Thanks guys!
