ROLAND VS 1680 - 01 - Introduction (HD)

[@EagleWoman777]

I just received a VS-1680 as a gift. I have been recoding, and producing for many years. This particular system, though "obsolete", i.e. discontinued, it is a great system. For a sample of the sounds you can get, please see my video, "ANCESTRAL" on my channel. The song was recorded, mixed, and mastered with the VS-1680, and the quality is amazing. I've been having great troubles figuring the system out... and being a woman, the tears of frustration fell like rain! LOL.Mukesh, you are a great teacher. Thank you!

[@sonimukeshg1]

Thanks Taina. I fully agree that vs 1680 has amazing sound recording quality. You can download all 4 of my vs1680 videos for future ref. cheers, Mukesh

[@synthiaforsythe5509]

I;ve had mine for 18 years and it still works perfectly. What a piece of gear!!!

[@ToddCWiggins]

what did you pay for yours?

[@christopherdunn317]

Me too ! but i have the vs-880, IBM laptop hard drives built tough .

[@frodev728]

I sold mine 14 years ago and used the money to get a weighted-key midi controller keyboard. Best decision I could have made. It was a beast in it’s time though.

[@DennisCharretteakaDenChea]

So this is the way to go.THERE are so many other units out there. In the day I Loved the cassette 4/8 Trks FOSTEX . I can find the Roland for $200/175... They went for $3000k .........Thoughts Thanks

[@SMAFilmskashmir]

[@legeartis78]

you can tempo-sync to any daw but you cannot export audio, only realtime audio

[@papa.alfredo]

Hi there, thank you sop much for nice video, how about the fan in the back, is it loud? I listen to some hiz noise inside your voice narration, has the fan something to do with this? Please, give me a fast answer, I am planning to buy one of these, many greetings from Germany, Alfredo

[@sonimukeshg1]

Roland VS 1680 records clean. The video was made in computer that's why you hear the noise of computer fan. Cheers.

[@sonimukeshg1]

I shall recommend you to use VS2000 or more updated model for better features

[@michelleonify]

Hi Mukesh, I'm having trouble recording tracks to CD burner. Manual talks about mixdowns and Mastering but makes it very confusing to carry out. Do you have any advice?

[@morrisman64]

Thank u for taking time out to post this for your viewers

[@Samstraysongs]

EXCELLENCE AT IT'S BEST, A FINE INSTRUCTOR!

[@COMREdesign]

Hi, I recently got this unit as a classic mixer. Works perfect but have only one FX card. Can I insert multiple effects to channels? Lets say a reverb to vocal channel and Chorus to guitar channel from one card? TIA

[@AndrewAllen-so1sf]

Yes

[@plumsterer]

Hi, if you are still around the KZbin scene, I have query, I have recorded 4 tracks on my 1680, I see the tracks during playback, I just cannot hear them.............. I assume I have a button pressed somewhere, but I just don't know where to look to get the sound from the phones. Help!!!!! please.

[@guestaccount-x1f]

I bought 1680 records great but I can't hardly hear it through playback Is their certain speakers, you need am I recording to low, l hope someone Reads this and can help. Thank you

[@aadams4367]

Great instructional videos. Very good presentation. Thanks a million. Any more?

[@sonimukeshg1]

Thanks Adams! I now use Roland VS2000. I found it difficult to use so I made the videos for everyone.

[@mjen427]

Mukesh please come back I miss you everyday never leave us again

[@taikoking1]

Thanks again for your video. It makes it so much easier to work things out with this recorder. You also seem to make very nice music with it as well.

[@laracrock]

and where do i place this pin stariotti' when i purchase this.' the Rolland mixer i have was a gift' but it came with out a hard drive. i don't have much knowledge about the mixer' but once i get a hard drive to access it' i'll able to learn it.

[@ghjrtuip]

Thank you for making these video's. I only own the vs for a few days

[@danielortizdecaracas]

the noise sound in this video is the VS1680??

[@sonimukeshg1]

No I recorded this from a camera.

[@nealixd.3011]

These are fairly inexpensive to buy used now, but still a very capable device. Back in the day, circa the turn of the century, they were THE hot item and cost about $3,000! You can find them now for 200-300 dollars. Many are in pristine condition, having seen little actual use.

[@bar.robinsonparker7073]

Hello sir please sir how do I contact it with my computer interface

[@sonimukeshg1]

By mic input. I had stopped using it several years ago. I now use Roland vs 2000, which generates a wav file which can be used to mix etc. Cheers

[@bar.robinsonparker7073]

@@sonimukeshg1 sir how much do you have that one

[@jeromeraymundo8255]

Hi, i'm interested in getting a vs 1680 being sold for a really cheap price. The only issue is that the backlight for the lcd screen doesn't work anymore. Would it actually still be usable without the backlight? Like, will i actually still be able to see the things on the screen without it? I'd like to hear from anyone who have experienced this situation.

[@EagleWoman777]

+Jerome Raymundo Are you still having problems despite the contrast button located top right of the screen?

[@jeromeraymundo8255]

+Taina Amayi I ended up not buying it. I'll probably just try to get one next time, without the issues.

[@EagleWoman777]

+Jerome Raymundo Good idea, my friend

[@tonytraxx757]

thank god we have pro tools and computers daws now and i never had to use this shit. when i started these were still being sold at guitar center around 99-02 but in that time frame computer recording had started taking off and i'm glad , the manuals were hard as hell to understand and youtube was not much help because there was no youtube

[@peterwilson9165]

[@connorstevenson5399]

why did you delete your singing

[@IvanFabilaVega]

hey man thanks a lot i have a question, can you do multitracking on this machine??

[@sonimukeshg1]

yes you can.

[@IvanFabilaVega]

really?so basically works like a reel to reel 1/4 inch tape machine? so the numbers of tracks im able to multitrack in this case would be all of the inputs? The thing is i was going to buy a reel to reel machine but i guess this is cheaper and easrier to star with and still give that sweet analog white noise, can ou give any advise on what to buy better?

[@sonimukeshg1]

I now have vs2000 which can be connected to pc via usb and has CD burning capabilities. You can buy a second hand vs2000 in few extra dollars.

[@frodev728]

Ivan Fabila yes it records multitracking, that’s the whole purposed of it’s existence, but it’s all digital so you won’t get the analog sound you’re after.

[@gydur]

Does it have a n internal hard disk?

[@frodev728]

G.O. Dahlie yes

[@papa.alfredo]

Again, you are talking about audio and this video has a lot of hizz noise inside the audio, you must check your videos before uploading, thanks for the video
