I have an older vs-880 and did not get the roland burner with it. I have been going into my computer via a soundblaster64 then into a phillips cd burner. (I'm planning to buy a soundblaster live)My question is...Can i go from the roland to the SB live, to the cd burner and keep it digital? If so, what do I use as the output from the roland. There's only a single digital output...thanks..
 
You answered your own question. Use the digital out on the 880, into the digital in on the SBLive, then burn a disc from your PC. That's exactly how I've been doing it for the last two years. I mixdown to a pair of stereo tracks on the PC this way. When you hook it up you will be recording a stereo track into whatever .wav editor you use.
 
There are 2 soundblaster lives. 1 model only has dig out. You want the better one with both
 
I'm using a 75ohm video cable with gold connectors, and it works fine. You can find these at Radio Shack and possibly even somewhere like Walmart in the TV/VCR section.

Hi Jon.
Im new to this page and very glad to find it. Re: your quote about burning a CD from your computer, are you using a CD writer thats a part of your computer,or are you using a stand alone piece of home stereo equipment? Does one have any advantage over the other? I believe the home stereo option only has analog audio inputs, so you obviously would be recording in real time. But when you record to a computers' CD writer, can it be done as a "data dump" requiring only a few minutes time?

Thanks!
 
Hi Broken Window,
Data back-up from VS-recorders can only be done with a few dedicated CDRW burners that the Roland VS-software supports.
More about thess can be found at:

Feel free to visit a dedicated site on Roland VS-recorders at: < http://www.VSplanet.com >
That site was down for a week, but up again to stay (I hope).
