Home recording HELP!!! Lexicon Alpha

[Top Jimmy]

(Not sure which forum this goes in)

I'm such a home studio newb it's embarassing.

Anyone used the Lexicon Alpha or a similar Lexicon gear and how the heck do you get it to output to your PC speakers. I hate wearing headphones when playing and i don't want to have to get separate speakers for the monitor outputs on the device.

I find it hard to believe that i can't listen via the software on the PC that works in conjunction with the unit.

Doesn't it have its own dedicated speaker outs? Or is that the problem, you don't want to use those, sorry for my confusion...

Yes they do but i don't want to have to either: A) buy new powered speakers or B) keep plugging and unplugging from the unit to my sound card, etc, etc.

I guess this should have gone in tips and clips but ahh well.

BTW, that Behringer V-Amp Pro is pretty darn good for the price.

I have the V amp also. Haven't used it much, but plan on spending time with it soon.

The best way to get the sound IS to invest in a decent set of monitors. You can pickup a cheap pair of Maudio for under $100. They plug in to the lecicon or whatever pre you are using. Its not that big of a deal its just one cable to unplug from the computer.
