EDIT: the software has been released to the Play Store as USB Audio Recorder PRO
You can see our Lexicon Omega in action here on our basic USB audio recorder app in development:
The driver will completely bypass Android including Android's incapable audio system. The advantages of USB audio and our driver are plenty:
- Finally you will have decent connectivity to your Android device: connect mics with XLR, line inputs, instrument levels inputs, depending on your USB device
- Playback and record in 16 or 24 bit
- Lower, but more important, predictable latency that can fully and automatically be compensated for
- Zero-latency monitoring on the devices that support it
- Control hardware level input gain on the devices that support it
- Multitrack recording capability
Requirements will be an Android 3.1 or higher device and the device must support USB 'host' mode. Most recent devices have 'host' mode luckily. If your device has a micro-USB port, you can connect to full-size USB using a so-called USB OTG cable. No rooting of your device is required.
Testers wanted:
If you are interested in a pre-release alpha version and meet the following requirements, please send an email to info AT audio-evolution.com:
- You have one or more Android devices that meet the requirements
