Details
Rip and Burn
The first thing you’ll notice about the Roland VS-2480CD workstation
is the addition of an internal CD-RW drive. This slimline drive makes it more
convenient than ever to back up data and burn music discs. And with the new
CD Capture function, you can import audio directly from CD—even parts
of a track simply by specifying the In and Out regions.
80GB Hard Drive Standard
Thanks to some creative engineering, Roland is now able to ship the VS
2480CD with
an 80GB internal hard drive—that’s more recording space than
any other workstation on the market! Record an entire album (or two, or three…)
without having to worry about running out of time. And even if you manage to
fill up the drive, you can always back up to CD-RW.
Enhanced Version 2 Software
With Version 2 software pre-installed, you’ll be able to take full advantage
of the Roland VS 2480CD’s mouse control when using an external VGA monitor.
Control track faders and knobs, set dynamics and EQ curves, change mixer routings
and cut-and-paste objects with “drag-and-drop” ease. There’s
even waveform-based editing. This upgraded software truly bridges the gap between
hardware- and software-based DAWs.
A Monster of a Studio
The Roland VS2480CD gives you all the same great features
of the immensely popular VS-2480 workstation, including 24 tracks of 24-bit
recording, 384 Virtual Tracks and a 64-channel automated digital mixer with
17 motorized faders. The VS-2480CD’s two stereo 24-bit effects processors
provide everything from COSM Mic and Speaker Modeling to a Mastering Tool Kit.
And with R-BUS expandability, you can add 16 additional channels of analog
or digital I/O.
