Roland VS-2480CD 24-track 24-bit Digital Studio Workstation w/CD

The first DAW to offer really serious mixing and editing power!

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.
