Details
Rip and Burn
The first thing you’ll notice about the 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 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.
