I recently sold an effects pedal on Reverb, and now that the band is not playing for the foreseeable future and I have a lot of free time on my hands I figured I'd try my hand at home recording. I've been looking on Reverb at audio interfaces under $60 and the Lexicon Lambda caught my eye. I plan on running it on my old Win7 computer with either Cubase LE4 or Audacity as my DAW. Could anybody give me some reviews on the Lambda, pro and con? I'm certainly not looking to produce pro quality with this setup, just something I can use at home that won't cost an arm and a leg and will give me decent quality recordings.

I got the Omega which I like but they are a bit misleading, as the Lambda it is only 2 inputs (recording at the same time). having said that I think you would have better results with the Behringer UMC-22 ($40). The problem with the Lexicon interfaces are the drivers which haven't been updated in a very long time. You won't have that issue with the Behringer and the recording quality is very good for the price.

Here's a very honest review:

Yes be careful with those older interfaces, I had one of those a long time ago but the driver won't be updated. It is not stellar in quality but it probably works. I think you'll be better off shelling out $100 for a Focusrite Scarlett Solo3.

I've changed my mind about getting an older audio interface. I've got my eye on a PreSonus AudioBox USB 96, which comes in at $100, which also comes with Studio One Artist DAW. I'll be ordering it as soon as my $1200 government check comes in.
