[afcollective]

I have had my VS2480 since since 2004/5 and use it exclusively for recording and it has never let me down whether at home or on the road.I have recorded a fair few CD's with the Roland it is easy to learn.. Use the mouse and VGA monitor for ease of use AUTOMIX IS AWESOME

[s2who]

yeah your wise to stick with an interface however this machine is awsome for mobile it sets up super fast with lots of user interface(knobs) so it wastes little time +i find this to be way more stable,no shut downs no freeze ups...

[Audiowithalex]
