Easy Recording and Producing for Guitarists!

Hey guitarists, your song ideas deserve to be heard! And now with the powerful and affordable Cakewalk V-Studio 20 available, it's easier than ever to record and share your songs with the world. Just what is this all-in-one dream machine? The V-Studio 20 combines BOSS's legendaryvstudio guitar and vocal effects with an easy-to-use recording interface that's packed with hands-on control. Just connect the V-Studio 20 to your PC via USB and load up the included Guitar Tracks 4 recording software; you'll be ready to go. You can use the two built-in microphones to capture your ideas right away, so you don't have to plug in anything. But when you're ready to use your own microphones, the V-Studio 20 gives you the connections you need to make pro recordings in your bedroom.





The key to the V-Studio 20 is its musician-friendly design. Both the unit itself and its software control panel feature simple and intuitive layouts. You'll be up recording, sketching out ideas, and producing immediately — without the learning curve! When you're tracking vocals, you'll love the fact that the V-Studio 20 offers built-in latency-free COSM DSP for adding harmony, real-time pitch correction, compression, reverb, and more. You can have a fully produced, radio-ready vocal track by using just the V-Studio 20 and its built-in effects.

For nailing studio-essential guitar tones, the V-Studio 20 also has the effects you need. And there's a hi-Z instrument input for plugging your guitar straight in. You can jam through BOSS-powered DSP effects for amp simulation and then tweak the four different pedal modules, covering all the essentials: compression, overdrive/distortion, chorus/modulation, and delay. All in all, you'll find 36 genuine BOSS effects inside the Cakewalk V-Studio 20, plus 50 presets to help you get started as fast as possible.

Last but not least, the Cakewalk V-Studio 20 offers a hands-on control surface. So, once you've recorded your ideas into the included Guitar Tracks 4 software (or your favorite PC music-recording program), you can get your hands on real sliders and knobs to mix everything — just as they do in pro studios. There are a total of eight sliders and eight Track Select buttons, so it's easy to navigate through the tracks you've recorded. The Track Group button lets you quickly skip through up to 32 tracks of recorded music. And whenever you want to record a new track, you can use the onboard controls to start recording, stop recording, and control playback.

What other extras does the Cakewalk V-Studio 20 include? The included Guitar Tracks software sports a suite of 11 effects for polishing your tracks. Plus, you get the Roland TTS-1 synthesizer and a whopping 1GB of loops, songs, and backing tracks — everything you need to inspire ideas, then record them!

Together this is a great recording tool I'm a Roland and Cakewalk person you can be sure when they put something out it will do the job.The unit is small not too bulky so it's out of the way and the s... read more [+]oftware is great for a PC.If you ever want to record with not much equipment this is it,on the road or in your home studio.The effects are great,for guitar players like myself the effects board looks like my Boss ME70 so switching to different effects is easy.This can record more than just guitar you can record anything you want on it.The vocals come out very good
Note:Have a good PC,MIC,Headphones, and some good Studio Monitors so you can hear the true sound of this unit.I let a well known artist hear what I recorded on it and he was blown away. close [-]

Just received this item a couple days ago and fell instantly in love with it. This is the perfect solution for a low budget home studio, especially if your using sonar. It integrates instantly and per... read more [+]fectly within sonar. And for the price you get an amazing amount of personal recording power. Hi-z line for the guitar, phantom powered mic input, stereo onboard condensors for foolin around and output for direct monitoring. For me this seems to be the perfect way to get started in recording with no hassle. Also there are nice boss effects for guitars and vocals, lightens up the load on your daw a lot. The only reason it did not get 5 stars is because it is constructed like a t.v. remote so be careful with this little guy. And little it is, it leaves almost no footprint in your work area. For someone needing a solution for home computer recording this is it, if you need something to drag around to gigs upgrade to something that can take a punch. close [-]

I haven't explored the recording aspect of this unit yet, but I have really enjoyed the loops and guitar effects that I can use for guitar practice. Very cool.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
