Roland VS-2480 and the VirDis upgrade for Win7 (32 and 64 bit)
I use a VS-2480 for initial tracking of drums and scratch tracks. It just works 100% of the time with no pops crackles noise....But it's been a Pita to get those files onto the computer for overdubs and mixing. However Bill Casey of VirDis is selling a PCI and PCI-E card and scsi emulation software that looks creates a virtual disc on the PC that the VS-2480 can communicate with. It has just been upgraded to work with Win 7 in 32 and 64 bit platforms. It makes getting files from the VS-2480 onto the computer so simple. If your Vs-2480 has been gathering dust in your studio this may be the software/hardware that will bring it back into use. Please check out

Bandlab Platinum and every other toy I can get my hands on...and yes I'm way in debt over this obsession...
