Roland VS-2480CD Overview:
Roland VS 2480CD 24 Track 24 Bit Digital Studio Workstation w/CD
Whether you're just getting into hard disk recording or looking to upgrade an earlier V-Studio, here's a workstation worthy of the name. The VS-2480 24-Track Digital Studio Workstation is the first self-contained recorder that offers 24-track/24-bit digital recording with 64-channel digital mixing, onboard effects processing, and CD burning. This revolutionary workstation also boasts 17 motorized faders, a VGA monitor output, plus mouse and ASCII keyboard inputs - taking the V-Studio concept to an entirely new level. Despite the incredible capabilities of the 2480, operations are surprisingly intuitive using the built-in display and software screens. And with its VGA output, your computer monitor becomes an extension of the DAW, offering ultra-ergonomic work surfaces.

Roland VS-2480CD Details:
Rip and Burn
The first thing you'll notice about the VS-2480CD workstation is the addition of an internal CD-R/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 particular parts of a track.
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 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 VS-2480CD 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.
