4—Setting Up and Basic Operations
74 www.RolandUS.com Roland VS-2400CD Owner’s Manual
Adjusting Your Listening Level
If you’re listening to the VS-2400CD through monitor speakers, the
MONITOR knob to the left of the display sets your listening level. You’ll
generally want to keep this at the 0dB position (3 o’clock). Of course, you
can always turn the MONITOR knob to raise or lower the listening level as
needed—the 0dB position serves as a good starting point. Adjust your
DS-90A/DS-50A INPUT LEVEL or monitor-speaker amplifier level settings
so that the VS-2400CD is producing sound at a desirable level.
If you’re using headphones, the setting of the MONITOR knob establishes the basic
monitoring level, so set it to its 0dB position. To adjust your headphones’ volume, turn
the PHONES knob. Start with the knob turned all the way counter-clockwise, and
slowly turn it clockwise to reach the desired listening level.
Playing the Factory Demos
As shipped from the factory, your VS-2400CD has a few demonstration songs—
”demos”—stored as projects on its internal hard drive. When you power up the
VS-2400CD, the “Promises” project is loaded into the VS-2400CD, all of its settings are
restored, and its track channel faders move to their last-saved positions.
“Chemistry”
This section assumes you’ve just powered up the VS-2400CD and the demo project
“Chemistry” is loaded. If this isn’t the case, load “Chemistry” —see “Loading a Project”
on Page 91. (The track sheets included in the VS-2400CD box contain demo details.)
Bring Down the MASTER Fader
To make sure the demo isn’t too loud, first bring the MASTER fader all the way down.
The MASTER fader controls the level of the MASTER mix bus that’s routed to the
MONITOR bus (see “What’s a Bus?” on Page 57). Since the MONITOR bus is supplying
audio to the MONITOR and PHONES jacks—and to the digital output connected to
DS-90Aor DS-50A Digital Reference Monitors—moving the MASTER fader adjusts
your listening level.
If you’ve connected a speaker system directly to the VS-2400CD and would like
separate control of your speakers and headphones, route the MASTER outputs to the
PHONES jack on the EZ ROUTING OUTPUT ASSIGN screen (see Steps 1-3 in “If
You’re Using DS-Series Monitors” on Page 73). The MONITOR knob will control only
the speakers, and the PHONES knob will control the headphone level.
In the factory demos, the MASTER bus is routed to the PHONES jack, so the PHONES
knob independently controls the level produced by the headphone jack.
Use of the demonstration songs supplied with this product for any purpose other than
private, personal enjoyment without the permission of the copyright holder is

To save changes you’ve made to a demo, make a copy of the demo (Page 97). The demos
loaded at the factory are write-protected (Page 95) and therefore not editable.
