Great Video, I just went back with a simple set up, Fostex Mr16, Behringer 10 ch. mixer and Triton Le. I use the effects on the Fostex. Its only 16 bit, but that's good enough for soundtracks for my videos. Keep it up. Cheers .
bro... shaky camera and pretty bad sounds out of the DFAM....and u dont even really say the sq64 is useful whatsoever compared to DFAM internal sequencer....
@d3maccus if you don't like the camera quality or the sound. I suggest not watching the video. As far as why the korg 64 sequencer is better than dfam sequencer. My bad, I should have known some people needs to be told that 64 steps is better than 8
@@biggrime I didn't criticize quality or type of camera, but the shaky camera is just total noob bro come on you have thousands of subs....and that kinda stuff is going to make people stop watching your stuff... its also really not enjoyable, and gives the viewer vertigo...and i think you know that... Im sorry about the harsh sounds comment, as the DFAM is rugged in general. I understand the 64 has more steps, but from what you're playing.... with that instrument, it doesn't seem necessary or like it really sounds different. so im a bit confused when you say its amazing and "you're just barely scratching the surface". Its good to be positive and enthusiastic, but it felt a little false engagement-batey. Im sorry for the attitude I was exhausted and deep diving into 64 for a while and was excited to find a video of it paired with some MOOG I own and I am met with EXTREMELY low effort production is all! Lastly, Im sure you are a nice person and talented musician and I love your synth passion so rock on and Ill check out some more of your stuff. (im not saying that you care or want me to though ahha)
sampling isn't cheating its a core part of hip hop, buying packs is different anyone can buy and use them, but then again its about how you chop it up record digging is a different thing
You mean like a factory reset? 1. Press and hold SHIFT and then press UTILITY 2. Use the arrows or TIME/VALUE dial to navigate to #18 Prmlni Press F6 (Prmlni) 3. 4. Use the Time/Value dial to select MIXER/UTILITY, MIXER, or UTILITY, depending on what you want to reset 5. Press F5 (OK) 6. A confirmation screen will appear 7. Press ENTER/YES to proceed with the reset
How has the workflow been with the sq64?..... I have been watching some videos about it and it seems more in depth and that's what I'm looking for....I think I'm going to get one
Mine just came in the mail today....it's such an awesome machine I'm definitely going to enjoy this synth....thanks again for sharing your creativity @@biggrime
the good thing of the mouse is , its very cheap to buy a new one when it broke. but the sliders and buttons on your vs are not easy to fix or find replacement for them, and of course its expensive to repair . i use always my mouse on my MV 8000 .
You have a point. That is like telling a driver of a Toyota Supra with big turbo. Drive in a way that the turbos won't spool up. It's cheaper not to use them.
Hi. I'm on day three of trying to work my new VS-2480 and i'm having trouble with the routing. Can you please describe to me how to route up my guitar? I have plugged the guitar into the Hi-Z input on channel 16 and want to record in stereo on tracks 1 & 2. I can see the signal of the sound going into the machine but no sound is being recorded and I hear nothing through my headphones. If you could get back to me it would be a great help, cheers.
I bought a VS-2480CD brand new in 2005 and kept it until 2016, when I reluctantly had to sell it due to financial issues. I loved it with the add-on VGA monitor, and the ability to master directly to audio CD inside the unit was cool. As I recall, one of the downsides was only having 2 onboard FX cards, so you had to be choosy about what to do with them.
great vid. I still use old digital multitrack reocrders for the same reason...couldn't afford em when they dropped, but now machines like the roland VS series, Yamaha 4416, akai dps and korg d3200 can be found for $100 - $200. Reliable, great sound and more focused than the endless options in a DAW. Glad u got your hands on one.
Dam that's messed up. They were not cheap by any means. You can get pretty ow especially compared to back then. Always tell people it all depends on what you use to now and what you looking to get out of it.
Presonus makes a interface called V-fire that you can use to connect to computer. In my setup I do not hook it up to a computer. I use the VS-2480 as the "computer" For me the whole point of using the VS-2480 is to get away from the computer. The monitor is connected to the vs-2480 and displays what's on the VS2480
I bought mine when it came out. I used it as a 16 track recorder for full live band recordings. I ran a 16 channel snake to my garage and this unit was parked in an upstairs bedroom. Just the drum kit had 8 mics and the other 8 were for instrument mics. I also bought the breakout box that allows you to export your tracks to a DAW. Unfortunately they didn't upgrade the firmware to be able to use the 2480 as a live interface for a DAW. That would've been a huge game changer. I still have it but my needs have changed to where I get more out of a 2x2 interface and VSTi for Superior Drummer, Amplitube 5 for guitars/bass. The beauty of computer recording is that you can hear the track wet but record it dry. That allows unlimited tweaking on your effects without having to record over. Recording wet is set in stone. If I was going to live track bands again I would use my 2480 in a heartbeat. It is a portable powerhouse.
@raysmusic49 run the factory test first. Cold boot holding F1 + Page key on desk and it will boot I to factory test where he can check for HDD as well as test the Faders, lights and DSP chips (which indicate the dry capacitor error and no audio type issues)
Cool bro ! But i'm trying to find a french tutorial ! I buy today a vs2400cd for 200 euros in a realy perfect state , i'm abble to read a little bit english , but to ear and understand it's a bit complicate for me ! thank's for your vidéo , l'm from Belgium ...
That's really cool. My setup is much different now. At the time of the video. I didn't have the VS-2480 long. I was still figuring out how I was going to use it. Here's a example on how I use it now. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Oads_XVdcQM.htmlsi=OOZUzC2HqdxE4Cds
Thanks for posting this. I bought the 2480 when it came out, and used it for several years. I haven't used it for quite a while, but your video has inspired me to revisit it. I belong to a FB Roland VS 2480 group, and on there they speak about the capacitors drying out and needing to be replaced. I'm hoping once I power it back up that I don't encounter any problems like that.
This is so cool. 👍These really are timeless classics. 👌 And I am more referring to the line of VS recorders Roland made. I know the VS-2480 is a wonderful machine. But there’s also the VS-1680, or the VS-2400. And the one that I own, which is the last of that series of recorders. The VS-2000cd, which came out in 2003. It is the only one that has a USB connection. Which, in theory could be cool right? Yeah, and that’s it… in theory. But it’s only for transferring audio/ Projects off of the HD, just to make room. There is some software to convert that. If you don’t have that then there’s nothing you can do with it on a laptop or pc. You can potentially screw those up too if you try to open them on a pc. Then they might not open anymore on the VS. Great right?! 🙄 So much for that thing, that appeared to be so handy. 😎 But for the rest of it, it’s really still a very good recorder, editor and mastering machine. 👌 And I say that without any bias whatsoever. 😄🤣 Anyway… Thanks for this VS-2480 appreciation video, it’s great. Have a nice day y’all. 👍🙂
