VS-Planet: http://www.vsplanet.com

VS-Planet is an international online community dedicated to helping its members learn and master Roland's VS line of digital audio workstations. Now into its sixth year with over 13,000 registered members , VS-Planet is the world's largest online VS user group . The community's goal is to provide a one-stop resource for VS musicians and home recordists to learn and get help with their recording problems. This forum-based site hopes to flatten the learning curve by providing numerous resources for VS users to collaborate and exchange ideas with other VS users from around the world!

In addition to being a technical resource, another goal of VS-Planet is to foster artist development and provide an avenue for artists to get their music into the hands and ears of the public. To that end, VS-Planet Radio (VSPR) is an online radio station that features the music of the independent artists of VS-Planet. In addition, VS-Planet provides full-service artist benefits, such as publishing and distribution. The VS-Planet Music Center is an online music store, featuring the best deals on pro audio gear, including Roland VS workstations, third-party plug-ins, accessories, and more.
