Of all the small studios, the Rolands are for far the best!  They can have
the option of using a form of audio compression, and it sounds great to my
ears! ( nothing like MP3, at ANY rate")  the only problem is that you will
notice
 the comression after bouncing tracks a lot.

I do beacause my 1680 is only 16 tracks, but enough for my projects....
So you might use the non-compressed format, but I beleive, at expense of
half the tracks...

I will be using the AUX signal of the A6 to an ART Dual MP tube preamp
for "rounding" the sound, and then to a Lexicon MPX500, then digital to the
VS.
(Using the Lexicon 24 bit A/D ).
The A6 mains with FX all wet will go directly to the VS as to have a
reference
between the two results....  a final test for the "wedge" ( very easy to
overload )

The VS has very good digital A/D and internal FX, all in the digital domain,
so the
mixes are very clean. But using ONLY the Roland FX can have a very familiar
feel....

The internal Roland FX are very, very clean, and since all the sends and
returns
are internal in the digital domain, no overloads!

I love analogue, but digital has it's place in recording....
