i want to record live to the roland vs 880ex with my band. (using all 8 tracks at once) But the 880 only allows 6 analog inputs and two digital. i don't understand this. what can i even plug into the digital inputs (besides a drum machine which we don't use)? i really wanted to mic 2...

ok so is it better to go from my roland vs-880ex to computer, then burn to cdr, OR just purchase the custom VS serious cdr from roland and do it that way. the computer option seems way cheaper, but is there an inherent advantage to using roland's own cdr for mixing down and making multiple cd...

no question here, just paying my respect to this fine machine. it has eliminated the greedy record company from our lives. it is freedom!

i want to record vocals to my 4 track cassette and everyone tells me to use a compressor with the mike. Now i have a toneworks ax3000g guitar effects processor. my question is, can i just mic my vocals into that and use the bulit in "compressor", or would that mess it up?...also, what oder do i...
