I now own two VS-2000 recorders and this is how I record my commercially available music. I got my second recorder for $450 and it had the vga output installed. I also purchased a vsr880 for $100. If I see a VS2480 or 2400 for a low price I am getting that next mainly because I would then be able to record in 24bit 44.1khz and have 24 tracks once all are linked up. I am not a computer user and I have lots of hardware.
@IanCanefire the makers took an educated guess that most people would have home Hi Fi CD recorders to save their final 2 track mixes to. Standard stuff like cassette recorders and DAT's that came and went quickly. All of this home entertainment or Stereo & Hi Fi equipment is yet another standard of RCA -20 db impedance Not compatible with Pro Audio / PA gear at 0 to -10 db Lastly most XLR balanced gear Super clean signal flow Unity Gain is +4 db higher output. use RCA to feed home stereo gear
Been using two of these for years, never had a problem with them, even with thousands of edits in a single project. Also, you can now hook it up with the PC and use the PC Hard Drive for recording with a product called VirDIS.
I've never had down-time with the Roland VS2480. The sound it killer! 56bit vs.32bit in PC. They keep me in business!
Phenomenal. I own the VS-2000 it's great. I only have one gripe (it is easy to work around) the RCA monitor outs. That's not pro. The work around is to use the master out. The RCA outs give my monitors a slight buzz. (which does not show up in the tracks recorded but it's annoying) VS2480 is cheap now I see them for $500. Stable and sound great. These units interconnect too.Two 2480's give you 16 tracks of 24bit 96khz if use 16bit 44.1 then you have 48 tracks! for less than $1000.
