24 Tracks of Recording Heaven

Frustrated with the limited capabilities of a 16-track digital recorder? Then it’s time to step up to full 24-track recording. Think about it. With 24 tracks, you’ll have room for individually miked drums and plenty of vocals. And with 384 Virtual Tracks, there’s always room to try new ideas.

Pristine 24-bit/96kHz Sound Quality

How does the VS-2400CD sound? In a word, phenomenal—thanks to its true 24-bit A/D converters. These top-quality converters capture all the warmth of your inputs and provide better headroom for recording. And if you want the absolute finest sound quality, the VS-2400CD even supports recording at 96kHz*.

*At sampling rates of 96kHz, maximum 8-track recording is possible.

	repeatable CD burning.
MT1 (Multitrack 1)	Recording time is approximately two times longer than M16 while preserving sound quality.
	Suitable when doing many track bounces.
MT2 (Multitrack 2)	Provides more recording time than MT1 while preserving sound quality.
LIV (Live 1)	Provides more recording time than MT2. Suitable when there is little disk space left or for lengthy

A Full-Featured Digital Mixer

Impressive 48-Channel/20-Bus Design:

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. A variety of busses, including eight direct paths, eight aux busses, and stereo main and monitor busses, let you route signal anywhere.

Expandable I/O via R-BUS:

Thanks to its R-BUS interface, the VS-2400CD can be expanded with up to eight channels of analog or digital I/O. Use R-BUS to connect an additional VS-2400CD, VS-2480CD or even Roland’s SI-24 Studio Interface–adding another eight analog input channels.

Premium Analog Components:

A digital mixer can only sound as good as its analog components. That’s why Roland used the same premium circuits found on the flagship VS-2480CD. These carefully selected components have been praised for their warm sound, so you get nothing

but the best.

Automated Mixing at Your Fingertips

13 Motorized Faders: If you’ve ever had to work on multiple projects at once, you know the importance of motorized faders. Imagine being able to press a button and watch as your entire mix is instantly recalled! These faders also come in handy when moving between the VS-2400CD’s Input mixer, Track mixer and effect returns.

Create and Store Multiple Automixes: Professional engineers will tell you that automation is key to good mixing. Fortunately, the VS-2400CD lets you create multiple automixes for controlling important mixing parameters like track level, panning, effects sends and more.

New RSS surround Panning: The VS-2400CD is the first V-Studio to feature RSS surround Panning. Using this function, you can position a sound anywhere in a 360 degree field simply by turning a knob. The result is a surround sound mix using conventional 2-way speakers (5.1 mixing is also available).
