SONAR V-Studio 700 REAC

Introduction

Striving to create the ideal music production environment, Cakewalk and Roland have built the ultimate DAW system integrated with high-end tools.

Used in conjunction with the RSS V-Mixing System or RSS Digital Snakes, the REAC Edition of the V-Studio 700 provides the most comprehensive live recording, mixing, mastering and delivery solution available. REAC driver technology enables users to record up to 40 channels of audio from an RSS V-Mixing System or RSS Digital Snake directly into a PC using a single Ethernet cable.

vstudio_inuse Cakewalk and Roland selected only the very best components in designing SONAR V-STUDIO 700. At the heart of the system is SONAR 8 Producer, the leading DAW in the market today. SONAR 8 Producer gives you everything you need for recording, composing, editing, mixing, and mastering. Cakewalk’s flagship instruments, Dimension Pro (included in SONAR 8 Producer) and Rapture, are also part of the software package.

The software is intelligently matched with state-of-the-art hardware that meets Roland’s high standards of quality and reliability. It includes the VS-700C V-STUDIO Console multifunction control surface and VS-700R V-STUDIO 18/24 I/O audio interface which has an integrated Roland Fantom VS hardware synthesizer based on the world-renowned Fantom synthesizer.

Taken as a whole, SONAR V-STUDIO 700 offers the “tactile feel” of working in a traditional studio, but in a way that takes advantage of everything modern technology has to offer. The system represents the best that software and hardware have to offer with amazing control, integration, and sound quality.
