Thanks so much for the explanations and suggestions! I will do this backup ASAP and reinitialize the drive. So the Plextor CD-RW WILL work with the 880EX? I thought the Roland burner was the only compatible one (which, BTW, I think stinks!)...?!!

Thanks so much for the info, Jim - I appreciate it! Jacki

Thanks so much for the explanation, Jim! That makes sense to me now. I have been using MT1 because it just "sounded better"! I have it recording to a 3-gig internal hard drive on the Roland VS 880 (an updated hard drive that got installed by Roland since the old one crashed)... The only...

Hi, Everyone - Just wondering what the difference is between recording in MT1 or MT2 format and which would sound best? Thanks! Jacki

Hi, Everyone... I have a VS-880 and need to lay down an electric guitar track with distortion during part of the song and chorus during another part. Is there a way to do this straight into the 880? If not, is it safe to record from the amplifier itself? Do amps usually have outputs that...

Thanks!

Hi, Everyone! I've been using my VS-880 V-expanded for about a week now and just love it so far! I'm now trying to remember if it's possible to bounce all 8 tracks down to just 1 on this model? When I was researching before I bought the recorder, I read so many different specs and know that...

Thanks for the response, virtual.ray! I also wanted to just double-verify that the Roland CDR WILL work with a Mac with SCSI... I've gotten conflicting answers from different places - Musician's Friend just said: "The VSCDRII will write to cdrw, and cdr media. It is specific for the Roland VS...

Hi, Ryan! Thanks for the further explanation of all this! I'm getting closer to making my decision now... Okay, what does "s/pdif" mean?! Is this just the standard audio ins/outs from my computer? I have a PowerMac G3/300, BTW, that does have stereo ins/outs. Would doing it this way cause...

Hi, Ryan! Thanks so much for the response... This does help quite a bit in my decision making! For my purposes, which are mainly just making personal CD's of my own music to give out to people and possibly make mp3's to put on my web site, it sounds like the V-Expanded 880 might be all I'd...

I'm considering purchasing a used VS-880 that's been "V-expanded" and just wondered if there's any difference between this machine and the new "VS-880EX" - ? Are all the same effects on both machines? Do both allow SCSI connections? Midi connections? Thanks! Jacki :)

Thanks so much for the response! I really appreciate it... I've been reading and reading all day about CD burners and my eyes are crossed! One thing I'm curious about is why is the Roland's burner so much more expensive than some of the "computer-based" burners I'm seeing? Is there really a...

I'm considering purchasing a used VS-CDR - the older model - and just wondered if someone could let me know what the differences are between this older one and the newer VS-CDRII that's out? My main questions are: 1. Will this CDR work with the VS-880EX's special CD format? 2. Does "Toast"...

Hi, Everyone - I'm considering purchasing a VS-880EX, but someone just told me that regular microphones won't work by just plugging them into the machine like I do on my Yamaha cassette 4-track recorder.... I'm new to digital recording (just now trying to make the switch) - and have never heard...

Hi, Everyone - I'm new to this forum, so bear with me! I'm looking to purchase a digital 8-track recorder and a CD burner to be able to record original music and then master to CD. I currently have a Macintosh G3 and MOTU's Performer software (not "Digital Performer" - but the regular MIDI...
