Just completed the setup. It was pretty simple.
The difference in sound reproduction is pretty good, but what I love about it is the cleanness of the signal. The only word I can think of is pristine. Just that alone is a huge step up from the internal sound card in my computer.

Hello
I just purchased a Audio-Technica AT2035
and Lexicon Alpha Preamp/Interface whichever one
but when I try to record with records the right stereo only, and doesnt record in mono
So what could be my problem
I have a NADY SMPS phantom to power the mic btw

Please help in any way

Hey! Newbie here! I'm having trouble with an interface I recently bought for about a hundred dollars at a local music store. It fit all of my qualifications; I really just need an XLR cable for my Shure SM-57 (that I use purely for vocals) and a 1/4th inch cable for my guitar, bass and the box I use for drum mics (long story, not apart of this problem).

Hello and its good to be here!

The system runs well, and all so if I go direct through the laptop mic out, all is good, but I try and get sound though the Alpha via the headphone out to my main speakers, nothing, just plays though the little laptop speakers. All OTHER system sounds etc play just fine via the Alpha - GREAT! NOT!

Honestly, I hate jumping on a forum with my first post and immediately getting picked on for not knowing much about this, but i need some help with recording.

Just to start things off, here's my current setup:
-Custom Built PC (originally for games)
Phenom II x3 Processor @ 3.2GHz
8GB DDR3-1333 Crucial RAM
Using Cubase LE5 or Sonar 8

Hey there,
Kinda new to the whole recording process but ran into difficulty straight away.
I've set up the device, installed the drivers and Cubase LE4 that came with it. To begin with, the audio recordings were fine, they were audible and clear.

I recently purchased a Lexicon Alpha to do some home recording with. I've set it all up on my computer, checked everything out, read the manuals, gone to the website, EVERYTHING. I have it set up exactly the way it tells me to, although when I go to record, it doesn't record.

Anybody know what could be causing this?
