intune, if you're seriously interested in Roland VS recorders, do yourself a favor and visit 'vsplanet.com' I own a VS-840EX and have found the vsplanet to be the best resource available. Pat

Does anyone have an idea (or the idea) how the Beatles got that great stereo miking effect on some of their lead vocals. It always sounded like it was two part harmony but when you listen, its the same voice, same take just a stereo field with an effect on at least one channel. I recently saw...

Dragon, I apologize in advance if this question is answered in one of your FAQs. Can someone provide a rundown of blank CDRW and CDR specs? I just bought a Philips CDR765 and would like to mix and master down to the Philips. I am unsure of the type of media I need to use. I presume I mix down...

If you have an external drive, couldn't you save the song to disk, login to the internet with your computer and transfer the file via ftp, download it to the other 880's external drive and then select it? I don't have an external hard drive so I'm not sure if a computer can "see" the Roland...
