Wtf is a PRS
Ok this may or may not fit in this section but I'm sure if its the wrong place im sure someone will slap me on the wrist and move it.

But.

Currently i have laid low on recording cause my last few go rounds really got me down. I enjoy it. I get great satisfaction from doing it. More the mixing and messing around aspect of things. But what i really would like to change is my get up.

As it is now i have a Roland VS880EX that i use to record drums and some vocals and whatever else. I just find it more reliable then my laptop (which I'M running Sonar4 on plus a myriad of other software) With The VS880EX there is not audio dropouts, crashes, nasty clipping disk errors and all that garbage. For this reason i love it to death and have been VERY reluctant to get rid of it.

Why do i want to get rid of it? Becasue getting the stuff off the VS880EX to my laptop to mix and mess around with is a MAJOR PAIN IN THE ASS! I,ve tried countless methods to get from said Roland unit to laptop, and short of re-recording everything track by single stupid track, i haven't found a decent way yet. AND, i cant find the CD burner i need for it. cause that would just be way to easy.

NOTE: not saying I'm genius, i'm sure there is a very simple way to get them off.... i just haven't found it. nor has anyone else i've asked!

So I've started looking into things similar to the VS880EX in reliability, portability, ease of use etc...

BUT!

can i easily pluck the tracks from the unit via USB, flash, SD cards whatever, so i can plunk the wavs into my DAW of choice.

I have looked at some of the BOSS stuff and it looks great but id like to know right from other users mouths (fingers in this forums case) if such a heavenly piece of hardware exists; and do the users of said hardware like what they have?

Can anyone out there point me in the right direction ?

Im not overly fussy. Ideally id like to have the ability to simultaneously record 8 tracks at once. Money is of course a factor, i'm sure other things come to mind but i just need to back on the recording train.
 
Ill have to check that out too. But i'm really feeling strongly on just getting a piece of equipment that i don't need to refer to fancy mechanics and tweaks just to get my work off of it.

Unless of of course its not terribly mind numbing.

Err, did you read the link?

There's no "getting a piece of equipment" involved
 
I did click on the link, and it took me to a page of about 20 or more threads of which i have to read through....

Not that theres anything wrong with reading seriously, i might read something in there i haven't read elsewhere and could help me. i might not?

I just would much prefer to have something thats a bit more user/time friendly. which i think was the general jist of my first message.

Your help is appreciated!
 
The gist of it is, with certain roland devices, these guys at that forum have made an extremely easy way to use it with your DAW. Im not sure your model is covered, but Im sure it says over there. Then you wouldnt have to buy anything and just get on with it
