Been using two of these for years, never had a problem with them, even with thousands of edits in a single project. Also, you can now hook it up with the PC and use the PC Hard Drive for recording with a product called VirDIS. I've never had down-time with the Roland VS2480. The sound it killer! 56bit vs.32bit in PC. They keep me in business!
Phenomenal. I own the VS-2000 it's great. I only have one gripe (it is easy to work around) the RCA monitor outs. That's not pro. The work around is to use the master out. The RCA outs give my monitors a slight buzz. (which does not show up in the tracks recorded but it's annoying) VS2480 is cheap now I see them for $500. Stable and sound great. These units interconnect too.Two 2480's give you 16 tracks of 24bit 96khz if use 16bit 44.1 then you have 48 tracks! for less than $1000.
I now own two VS-2000 recorders and this is how I record my commercially available music. I got my second recorder for $450 and it had the vga output installed. I also purchased a vsr880 for $100. If I see a VS2480 or 2400 for a low price I am getting that next mainly because I would then be able to record in 24bit 44.1khz and have 24 tracks once all are linked up. I am not a computer user and I have lots of hardware.
I own a vs-2400cd.I rather record with this unit than a computer based software because it is user friendly and has a great sound. This unit seems to have a digitised anolog sound.. great if you like a recording that has a live sound to it. I know people that uses Pro Tools, they tell me that they wish they had a Roland VS 2400 CD.
I thought it was possible to create samples on the VS2000 like you can with a Boss SP505 but I can't figure out how to do that. Do you know if this is possible?
Can somebody help me out here. I thought that while recording, the level of the faders dont impact the signal...merely the volume. It's always been like that on my Zoom hd16cd.
I have this beautiful machine (VS-2400CD) but haven't been able to use it for years because the auto faders go crazy all the time. Here in the UK they tell me it cannot be serviced because it contains materials banned by the European Union! Has anyone here come across the wayward faders problem and if so do you know a remedy?

IanCanefire how do you store all the music from your 2000 and where?
