I own a roland vs1680. It records in 24bit digital audio. I am planning to record my bands album soon. So far, I have been using the built in CDR thingo that changes it 16 bit and dithers, etc...

For the first time (cause its my first REAL album), I plan to actually send a premaster to professional mastering facility rather than using the onboard mastering tools of the VS. I would like a way to keep it in 24 bit undithered format.... DAT tapes are 16 so forget that. The CDR function rips the 24 bit format to crap...

What media can I use to make a 2track 24-bit premaster to send out?

I have a DIO 2448 which is a sound card with a digital in... I didnt hook it up yet, but Im hoping that I could use the digital outs of the VS1680 to write directly to my PC's harddisk. Can I find an app that writes 24-bit audio? I heard Alesis MasterLink can do this.. help! Any advice is appreciated.

Try this...

Go to http://www.goldwave.com and download GoldWave. It will allow you to record at 24 bits.

Good luck. And remember to burn DATA CDR's with your computers burning software, otherwise stuff it going to get truncated to 16 bit.
