Despite the hiss, its a good solid beginner interface that you can use to get ideas down and do some amateur recording with, as well as throw in your backpack without worrying about it breaking

It's nice plastic but it does not compare with the full metal cases the more expensive interfaces have.

Overall, this isn't a horrible interface, however I would not suggest it for recording vocals

The interface itself is excellent

One of the best inexpensive and portable interface I've ever bought

I love this interface

If you can spare paying double that price that are better interface

Perfect interface for the price

This is the perfect cheap interface for anyone out there running MainStage

audio interfaces are expensive and this one is in my hot spot for a budget audio enthusiasts

This isn't the audio interface's fault, I don't think, because OSX was disabling power on the ports - however, I had other USB devices (a USB hard drive) that WOULD wake back up when coming out of sleep

This interface is awesome.

This is by far one of the most solid feeling entry level interfaces I've used to date.

I have however used the interface with Garage Band and it works great

Don't let some of the other review's stear you away from this amazingly priced interface.

but the interface itself is good :)

As of 7-5-16, this interface does not, and willl never work EVER again with Mac

Lexicon Alpha Desktop Recording Studio is a fantastic entry level interface for high quality home recording on your own computer.

this is a very basic interface but its been working flawlessly for me.

I've used fancier interfaces and it can be an absolute nightmare setting up

This is a great audio interface for my MacBook Pro

I've used this interface off and on throughout the past year and I love it

great interface

You can actually see/hear the blinking light on recorded tracks, so while the Alpha may not be the quietest/best interface it is miles above the Lightsnake which is just $20 less than the Alpha

This is the perfect cheap interface for anyone out there running MainStage

My last interface shot craps

I am also thinking about Avid interface

you are on a budget and want a good sounding audio interface buy this

This is in stark contrast to other (supposedly) "good" interfaces I've used where you run out of headroom almost a full decibel below reference 0db (or clip).

It is ok if you want a cheap, working USB interface, but it's not good for much

This interface really, really sucked

However, hardware is only as good as the interface they provide to use it with.

For the money, this is a great interface for the budding producer

Great audio interface

Other than that, it's a great interface!

I recommend this interface.

The Alpha is a great little interface

You're not purchasing some awesome, professional, 12-track interface

But this is still a great USB interface for anyone who absolutely cannot spend any more than $60.

I'm only one person, so this interface is perfect (especially for a beginner).

Best cost benefit audio interface around..

the perfect interface from my mixer to the computer

I spent more money for this Lexicon USB interface, thinking it would be less hassles than the $20 or $30 cheaper interfaces from other companies

:DThe Lexicon Alpha audio interface works as advertised using the well known ASIO4ALL universal device driver

The Cubase that comes with it, on the other hand, is a little problematic recognizing the interface

If I had money to burn I'd definitely go for something higher-end, but on my budget this box now works fine

, I'll probably get another, even though they're out of stock, seeing as I damaged mine.

OK, as far as basics go, the thing works as you'd expect any product in its class.
