I recently heard that the Roland 2480s have really good, high quality mic preamp's but can't seem to find exactly what type of mic preamp's they have, or even if they are as great a quality as I've heard. Can anyone verify this? TIA

Hello everybody, i'm a bit new here, so please excuse my innate stupidity. i wonder if soimeone can help me on this:

Greetings,

I'm close to buying a Roland VS-2480, but I still have a few questions:

(1) Can I easily get the tracks I record using my PC/Win XP setup's MIDI sequencing software onto the VS-2480? (FYI: my Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum-eX sound card has coax & optical SPDIF I/O, firewire and line-level jacks.)

I have been using PT LE 6.2.1 on my g4 dual for the last 10mths. Well when it works it's great, when it starts acting up, Im at a loss. My MAC troubleshooting skills suck and besides frequently visiting the DUC forum for advice. My setup has pissed me off. I just us it to mix and recording my own projects (at home). So if I go with a Roland are my cpu crashing days over?

Hi,

Does anyone have any idea where I can get a manual for this box?

Thanks!

I've just gotten my new eBay Roland VM-3100 digital and RPC pci card (by m-audio) together and more or less running on my Mac G4, OS9. It's been a pretty steep climb for me. But I've discovered that I don't much care for the Emagic logic/rpc software that came with the package and I want to return to using Cubase VST/24.

Hi folks.

Today I will be receiving a brand spankin' new Roland SPD-S. This is a cool little percussion controller with onboard sounds and built-in ability to sample.

It also has expandability using a flash card. From what I understand you can bring in pre-recorded samples via the flash card.

I currently have a Mac G4 with an m-audio 2496 PCI card, two ART preamps and a Roland VM-3100Pro digital mixer ($200, eBay), which I use to give me two more inputs and preamps via the digital inputs on the 2496. Everything is fine, though the VM-3100 is way too obscure for me to do anything with it besides simple mixing.

I use the Roland 1680 hard disc recorder. I'm really considering moving to the Roland 2480..but I've been confused about the following:

I have been studying the art of recording for the past few years, I'm getting better at mixing/recording..and I read a lot about the subject.

When mixing down the CD-RW tracks to the master track the machine always stops recording at 7 minutes, 25 seconds..Is there a way to extend this record time?
