When 16 Tracks Aren't Enough

Let's face it: 16 tracks are great, but 24 tracks

are even better. With the VS-2400CD, you can record

and play back up to 24 tracks in pristine 24-bit

sound. That's enough room for an individually miked

drum set, along with guitar, bass and plenty of

vocals. And with 384 Virtual Tracks, you'll never

have to settle for just one take. And for those who

want the ultimate in sound quality, the VS-2400CD

supports multitrack recording at 96kHz.

*At sampling rates of 96kHz, maximum 8-track

recording is possible.

Flexible 48-Channel Mixing w/ Motorized Faders

More than just a recorder, the VS-2400CD is a

full-blown 48-channel digital mixer. These channels

consist of the 16-channel Input mixer, 24-channel

Track mixer and eight effect returns. How do you

keep them all straight? That's where the 13

motorized faders come in. Just select which

channels you want to mix and the faders instantly

snap to the proper position. It couldn't be easier!

Works Like the Popular VS-2480

Ask any VS-2480 owner and they'll likely tell you

what a pleasure it is to use. That's because the

operating system is based on years of knowledge

gained from products dating back to the original

VS-880. And now this same easy-to-use interface

can be found in the VS-2400CD. Just follow the

graphic icons to quickly navigate menus, while

taking advantage of intuitive drag-and-drop editing

using the mouse. You can even connect an optional

VGA monitor for true software-style control.

New RSS 3-D Panning and Onboard Effects

A new RSS Panning function provides dedicated 3-D

panning without complicated editing. Using this

function, you can create a 3-D sound field with up

to six mono sources and write it into the Automix.

The VS-2400CD also sports dedicated 4-band EQ and

dynamics on 32 channels, plus two stereo effects

processors with 36 high-quality Roland/BOSS

algorithms. These include everything from reverb

and delay to Lo-Fi and vocoder effects, plus guitar

amp modeling, mic modeling and mastering tools. Two

additional stereo effects can be added via an

optional VS8F-2 Effects Expansion Board.

Burns CDs and the Competition

With a low-profile CD burner built-in, the VS-2400CD

has everything you need to take your song from idea

to completion. First mix down your tracks (along with

any live inputs) to an open pair of tracks. Then add

the final touch using the Mastering Tool Kit with

multi-band compression and burn your 2-track master

to CD. The CD-RW drive can also be used to import.

WAV files directly into a song - great for loading

loops from sampling CDs!

Expandable I/O and V-LINK

If you need additional inputs, simply connect using

the 8-channel R-BUS port. For example, the VS-2400CD

can be connected with another VS-2400CD, VS-2480 or

even to a computer with the RPC-1 R-BUS Interface

Card. This allows you to expand input channels and

recording tracks, or exchange eight channels of

2-way audio and MIDI data between your V-Studio

and a PC. And with V-LINK, musicians can trigger

video clips by creating MIDI events on any of the

VS-2400CD's recording tracks, or use the V-Fader

function to control video parameters such as color

balance and brightness.
