Digital Recording 1 

Great help this in getting to grips with the basics of the digital mixer. Thank you.

I have one of these that I used to know how to operate. Gonna fire it up again. Thanks for the tips.

Hey Nolan hows it going man I have the roland vs-1824 you helped me out a lot with the recording and stuff. My ques. is how do you setup the mic and vocals on it don't get it ? I have the manual and it does not show me man. please help me !!!!!!! thanks bro.

Very helpful thanks!!!

thank you brother

Is that a dr5 beside unit? Tip to take 2 tr drums to multi. to maximize bit depth ratio. Take drum song/patterns turn all seq instruments down except kick. Set recorder push play on seq. Manually turn down kick turn up snare and do the same with all percussion etc. It's best to launch each part by ear and timing than midi. This gives the drums max volume per track and resolution. A 5 min 2 tr will take about 30 min as you re record the tracks but it'll sound so much better.

cool video.

your welcom, I have posted videos for basic mixdown (more in depth to come), and things to know like shift lock, foot pedel, internal effect. Will be posting more.

Hey Nolan, Thanks for the tutorials, good stuff! I have the VS 1680 and can't seem to figure out what I have to do to record my tracks to CD Burner, any ideas?

Peace be to you, I use a Yamaha aw2400 with Waves module ygdai y96k. Yrs ago during 2000's used Akai DPS 12 with ebm2. The Akai was chosen for delta sigma algorithm 32 bit floating point I refused the compression based recorders. Does this do waves non compressed? Zadokite

Sorry for the late reply I'm not looking at this much lately. The -12 is highlighted because you should be at least up to that level for the inputs. Best is inbetween -12 and -4.

17 and 18 are mix down track and carry all your mixdowns with many virtual tracks. haven't looked at the lately.

Hi Joe, There are adapters that go from XLR to 1/4 inch jack. that might be a way to go. they should be at most music stores. I got mine at Starving Musician.

Nolan, I'm at a loss my SCSI won't acknowledge my cd back ups for remixing..would you have a clue what went wrong? thanks!

@BASHINGTHEWORLD Do you have a sound card on your computer that has RCA output. If so get an RCA to Standard 1/4" jack and connect them to input channel 3 and 4. Make sure that you also hook up the computer and the VS1880 by MIDI so that you can keep the timing right. If you want to separate tracks this will be important as you will have to play them one by one.

Yes, that is correct.

Here via recommended feed today, I suppose since I went searching for this item on eBay the other day

so whats that whole thing about not recording onto 17/18? im thinking about getting one of these , can i truly mix 9 stereo tracks or 18 monos? at one time

hello I have a vs-1680 is this the same?

although on the jack the one I have goes from 1/4 inch female to XLR male and you would need the other way around.

HEY NOLAN, I AM USING 7 DRUM MICS, BUT THEY ARE ALL XLR JACKS, NOT 1/4 INCH INPUTS, AND ON THE BACK OF MY ROLAND 1824, THERE ARE ONLY 2 INPUTS FOR XLR, THE REST ARE 1/4 INCH, CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO RECORD THE DRUMS, AS FAR AS INPUTING ALL 7 MICS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

hi, how does it switch on? in your video you click something at the back and the lights come on. how did you do that as i have tried this many times and nothing happens. I've had the machine for about 2 years now and have so many ideas that i want to record but every time i do what you did at the back of the unit nothing happens. in the box came.... 1. the unit 2. the user manual 3.a lead with a plug at the end 4. a quick start guide 5. bubble wrap

Would this Mixer function as a "DAW" control surface; can it interfase into a PC, and be recognized with a DAW software running on Win 7?

Would love to get hold of the tutorial dvd for the VS-1680. Any leads any-one?

Hi, a few questions. Can you use this for live playing? And can you connect it to a pc to multitrack drums separately??

Why is the bass swaying?

I recently acquired a VS 1680. Quite new to this. The internal Disk came with that was bustard so I tried two IDE laptop 2.5 HDDs (one after the other) fits perfectly but after boot up there is an error message " IDE UnFormat 8.4GB " Please help me to solve this. Thanks you!

HEY NOLAN, I HAVE THE 1824, MY MANE PURPOSE IS TO RECORD SONGS WITHOUT DRUMS, I AM A DRUMMER, AND I WANT TO LOAD SONGS IN THE MACHINE, THAT DON'T HAVE DRUMS, AND THEN RECORD DRUMS TO THAT TRACK, I AM HAVING PROBLEMS, PLAYING THE TRACK AFTER I HAVE IMPORTED IT INTO THE MACHINE, ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRIECIATED!

Իսկ կարող եք ասել? այս սարքը ինչպես համակարգիչի հետ համագործակցել և համակցել

hi sir how can i export my tracks to laptop? i want my tracks mix and mastering in laptop not on that device..

@dalushenal, You should find someone that cares about what you say.

good stuff...burning cd just like a breeze

@bonusbmusic So 17 & 18 are mix down tracks. When you use the mastering room the default is to mix down on 17 & 18 vTrack 15 or something like that. You can have multiple mix downs by switching you vTracks in the mastering room (CD-RW then F1). You can record on 17 & 18 vTrack 1, but you can not include them in the mix down.

LMAO @19MadMike95

"1,236"

huh? this is like learning chinese

These things are great sound, but so much BS, give me a multi-track real to real and get that tune recorded quickly with great sound

I totally can understand why you went from 49K views from Part 1 to 5K to Part 2.......you talk in tech-speak....assuming everyone has the same level of recording expertise as you.....this is not what you do on a part 1 tutorial....I had no idea what you were saying 95% of the time.......sorry.....this was terrible.....

Look I don't know what you're doing I did everything you did and nothing freaking nothing this has been posted 10 years ago how the f*** is it supposed to work I tried it and nothing happen I try to freaking get audio playing for my freaking inputs but nothing going out to any of the devices

9 minutes of my life wasted..bore
