Roland RPCSI24 Studio Package Pro with Motorized Faders Customer Review
I dont see a need for replacing this gear for a while. For a home project Studio it is perfect. I have had other way more expensive units(VS series) and the learing curve and interface I never likes. This gives you great hands on mixing with automation, plugins and editing and with the Logic Audio software, it had a great PC interface for ease of use.
Sound
The sound is clean and pure. Ofcourse it can be only as good as what you put into it.
Features
This is a great starter system. It has all the tools you need to start with and more. Automation works great and it has set up for 5.1 surround mixing which is awesome. The plugins are good and eay to use.
Quality
So far all is working well, the faders I worry about, but only time will tell about them.
Value
Great price at this time. I have been through many differnt setups for recording and this on worked great out of the box.
Manufacturer Support
Havent had any need for support. But from what I can tell by reading about other users it is good.
The Wow Factor
I have been working to build a small home project studio for sometime. I have had many setups. I always had a problem getting gear to work with each other and it always set me back as far as being productive. Plus I always was wanting to ass more gear to get more features I could use. With this it had all I needed.

"The Roland Studio Pro package - Great Sound, Great Value, Little bit of a learning curve."
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
I really like the sound quality and the level of integration between the software and hardware. The thing just works and is really intuitive once you get the hang of the software. The learning curve on the software is the only real drawback. If you are willing to put some time in to learning the software I don't think you will be disappointed.
Sound
You get exactly the sound you put into it. Clear and precise.
Features
The Hi-Z input is great for recording Bass directly in to the recorder. You can process things afterward with the software effects which are quite good for the price. The control interface operates really well. It makes recording takes and mixes fast and efficient.
Quality
The equipment seems well built. The control interface is attractive and sturdy. The buttons and sliders are well made.
Value
I don't think there is a better piece of recording equipment with the same features and quality for the money.
Manufacturer Support
I was only sent a license for the Mac version of the software. I needed the PC version. The program is supposed to work with both. I finally registered the software and received a license after contacting e-magic tech support. They were pretty fast and helpful, but both licenses should have been included in the first place.
The Wow Factor
I don't think there is a lot of appeal in recording equipment. It should work, sound good, and not break. It does all of this and still looks pretty cool.

Worked ok for about two months, then I started started having problems with it and still cannot get it to work.
Value
Well if it worked it would be worth it but for last few months its been an expensive piece of plastic that sits next to my MAC.
