DubAura DubAura Space Cadet Registered: 07/09/20 Posts: 7	So, back in ‘99 I purchased a VS1680. I was really happy with it. I’m not sure what happened but I leaned towards DAWS more in the following years. ACID MUSIC, CUBASE and more recently REAPER. I have been giifted with processors a plenty to aid my production. But, here i am in hind sight longing for the spontaneity that I had tracking on that 1680. I have gotten so lost in production possibilities since, that I have completely forgotten about the song. And so, with that in mind, I have bought a VS2480 in what appears to be very good condition for what I would consider a very reasonable price. The audio quality may not quite be on par with my PC’’s audio interfaces, but I’m hopeful to enjoy the end result regardless. Happy tracking!

I initially got lost in the weeds using the cut and paste stuff to assemble complex mixes. Eventually figured it out. Hopefully the "Roland" method is consistent across different VS machines. Enjoy! _________________________ It's all just ones and zeroes. Mark W in mid-MO some music here: soundcloud bandcamp spotify

You can stay in the zone so to speak. I've found that when using DAW's that I loose the magic that I wanted to track.

My first Roland was the 880, which I found to be a bear to master. And frankly never did. After the 1680s, I moved up to the 2000, which for me is the VS that best suits my recording needs. It’s also a fabulous machine, and is still going strong after 17 years! _________________________ /LarryG
