Experience w/product: I own it

Reviewer's Background: Active Musician Record Music

Reviewer's Play Style: Classical, Jazz, Blues, and Rock

In the past I used Line 6 gear to record music. I own a Pod XT live and a Studio UX2. I also use an Alesis Firewire 12 mixer, but it only works with my XP Computer. It does not work with my vista 64 Machine. my vista laptop does not have firewire.

I was looking for something that had USB 2.0 and had the ability to record more than two tracks at a time. I used Sonar 8 Producer Edition. I know they have good customer support. So I decided to try this product. I bought it from musicians friend last week. and I have been running test ever since. This is what I found

First the positives. It has better latency than my line 6 and Alesis gear. This is because my line 6 gear is USB 1.0. It also seems to do a better job recording a sound wave at different sample rates. It works on every machine I have with no problems. This is a complete setup that comes with all the software you will need. Sonar VS has a easy to understand interface. It even has some features that are not found in Sonar's Producer Edition. While the V Studio is plugged into the computer it will allow you to record up to 8 tracks that can be routed through 6 different outputs. I have got the best sounding recordings ever using this device.

Now for the negitives. I am not that impressed with the stand alone wave recorder. When it is unpluged from the machine you can record onto a SD card. I put an 8 gig card into the reader and tried it. even though you can use all 8 inputs to record a track remotely without a computer. You can only record one mono or one stereo track at a time. I could only get it to let me listen to one previously recorded track while I over dubed. When I imported the tracks on to the computer from the VS100 it switch the VS100 into card reader mode which allowed you to use it as a stand alone card reader. The only problem with that is in that mode it switches off the vs100 as a recording device. I had to study the manual to figure out how to change it back. The learning curve on this thing is kind of high. They could of put together a better manual. Sonar Producer has a lot more features that I wish were included with VS Sonar. I like the vs interface better in VS Sonar.

all in all I am getting the highest quality recordings of my life with this thing. Even with the wave recorder the recording quality is high, and the hardware is reliable. That is why I gave a 5.0 on the quality rating
