boom box recordings
I've been using computer hardware. After an old friend let me hear some of his music and told me how he recorded it, I am swaying toward a Roland digital workstation. I was amazed. I asked him if he mastered his tracks somewhere, and his response was a no.

So, I was looking at the VS-2400cd, because it is in my price range. Any other brands worth a hoot (yamaha, korg, etc...)? Any hidden limitations with this unit?
During mixing do you use the monitor outputs for playback or the master outputs?

thanks, Garrett
 
I have owned the VS2400 for a couple of years. I like it a lot. Even though it comes with a manual the size of a phone book, it's pretty easy to get started with. Make sure to buy a monitor for it, all functions are much easier to see and edit (like comp software) with one. I guess a limitation might be inputs (8) or no plug in access like with a computer. Although if you can find a SI-24,that would give you an extra 8 inputs. But with 250 effects, and expansion boards that take some 3rd party plug ins, it might not matter to you. It has never given me any trouble and I use it quite a bit. The 40 gig hard drive has never been half full and I have had up to 3 CD's worth of music on it. I use the master outs.

thanks for the advice, do you having anything I could listen to?
 
I say the VS-2000 cause it has USB which the other recorders doesnt have. So u can easily transfer all your work over with the snap of a finger. What i do is when other artist use software to record their music and they bring it to me to mix it i basically can transfer there recording session over to the VS-2000 via the USB.(the audio tracks that is) Without USB i would have to get all their audio tracks burned to a cd then load one by one to the VS. The VS-2000 has a software that u can use with your PC it allows you to place audio on tracks so when it loads up in the VS-2000 its on the track u specified. The VS-2000 stock doesnt come with VGA but if u buy it second hand then its more than likely to have it. I love my vs-2000 and i was gonna sale it awhile back due to finiacial situations but i figured out a solution and i aint neva lettin my baby go.
 
Although I'm very new to recording, I bought a VS2400 and like it quite alot. As I slowly learn, I am happy I got a machine with so much capability.

I use the monitor outputs.
 
i owned a vs2400 for a while and found it to have a lot of limitiations with editing functions. simple things such as cutting and pasting were very limited and it didnt allow you to hook up to usb should you want to go to a computer. i owned it for about a year but didnt necessarily spend as much time with it as i should have so my oppinion should be taken as a grain of sand.

once i upgraded it to a digi002 i noticed a whole world of differences and i would never go back
