Cakewalk V-Studio 20
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010
The V-Studio series from Cakewalk/Roland has thus far aimed to provide a complete production environment, but the new VS-20 has a far simpler remit: it’s for guitarists who want to get into software recording but crave the simplicity of yesteryear’s standalone hardware recorders. The package consists of the VS-20 hardware and PC-only Guitar Tracks 4 software, and it’s billed as being ‘netbook ready’, hence we used a Samsung NC10 netbook for this review. At 30cm wide, the VS-20 hardware is about 5cm wider than your average netbook. It feels good if not exactly rugged, but it’ll surely last if you’re sensible with it. The I/O ports are on the left and right sides, to facilitate plonking the device right in front of your laptop. “The built-in mics are perfect for capturing fleeting ideas.” On the left, you’ve got a USB port; stereo out on RCA jacks; and 1/4″ jacks for dual footswitch, expression pedal (for wah/volume) and headphones. On the other side, you’ll find a high-impedance 1/4″ input for guitar/bass; stereo line in on 1/4″ jacks; and an XLR mic input with phantom power. It’s got a pair of built-in stereo mics, too. Guitar Tracks lets you record up to 32 tracks of audio and has two main screens. The Track view is your typical DAW arranger, with features like snap to grid, clip fades, track freeze, etc. Console yourself The other screen, Console view, corresponds to the VS-20’s controls. The channel levels can be controlled with the VS-20’s faders, using the ‘track group’ buttons to access them in banks of eight. Tracks can be armed via the Track Select buttons, and there’s a transport strip too. You can record volume automation using the VS-20’s faders (and manually draw in curves for other parameters, including those of plug-ins)
Round-up: 15 pairs of headphones for musicians
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010
Whether you’re a DJ, someone who likes to make music away from their studio or just appreciate listening to good quality audio, a decent pair of headphones is a must. However, your requirements from a set of cans will be dictated by what you’re going to use them for.

What you need, then, is a round-up of headphones from some of the best-renowned manufacturers in the market, with reviews that tell you their strengths and weaknesses and discuss their suitability for different musical disciplines. Read on for just such a round-up – we’ve listed the cans in ascending price order so you can quickly find a pair that suits your needs and budget.
