For some years I have been using a Roland VS2480. All of the digital pieces in my control room are synced by a Lucid clock; all audio equipment in the studio is on Equitech balanced power. I'd like to think that I've given the Roland converters the best opportunity to do their job. I don't...

They like good preamps. They hate compressors used in the analog line inputs. If you buy the expansion card they have a descent vocal room with reverb and a nice compressor. The tube modeling one isn't bad. I have yet to really get into all the features. The unit is like a maze. The...

Has anyone worked on a Roland VS Studio before? I have a VS-1680 and no matter how I mic any instrument or vocal the recorded sound is always uneven, boomy and has no definition (muddy bass / zero crack of the snare / no 's' sound on the vocals). I am using the onboard preamps. When...

I'm planning on buying a Roland VS-1824CD but I first need to know how well this machine works with sampled loops. Does anyone know if it works similar to Acid or more specifically, can you cut and paste the loop and have the ability to change the bpm without changing the pitch? Or are you aware...

Does anybody here use this DAW ? Discuss.

I'm looking for opinions on which would be a preferred setup. I am currently using a Roland VS-1680 now and would like to upgrade to either the new VS-2480DVD or possibly going the PC DAW route with a Mackie Onyx 1640 including the firewire card which comes with Tracktion (Mackie's software) or...

Greetings, I have an old project packed to disc from a VS1880 that I sold a couple of years ago. Now I am wanting to unpack this project and finish it using a newer studio. However, even if I borrow a VS1880 from a friend, I noticed it doesn't export to WAV. Anyone have any advice how I...

I'm wanting to get back into digital recording and am wondering which path to take. I know how quickly digital technology progresses, so I wonder what today's equivalent of the VS-1880 would be in other brands. I know Roland makes the VS-2000CD now and that looks a lot like the 1880 I used to...

I write and record original moderate rock music and want to know which MTOOLKIT works best for others? Do you have to use a tool kit to get a stereoed mastered CD? :? Sometimes I feel like my songs sounded better before I mastered them using the MTOOLKIT. :(
