Full Description
View Full DescriptionPodcast and live-streams made easy!
The Mixcast 4 allows you to create professional sounding podcasts and live streams without the need for advanced technical knowledge. It features a range of tools to achieve this including ‘Auto-Mix’ which is perfect for those just starting out. With Auto Mix activated, the Mixcast will set the optimal levels for each microphone and set the mic priorities for you. This takes the stress out of podcasting, providing the perfect mix for you every time.
A five-inch colour touch screen display allows you to easily navigate between settings and controls. The intuitive menus make it easy to follow your settings and control different parameters.
New firmware update - Version 1.20
Featuring a whole host of upgrades, enhancements and new features; the new and improved firmware (V.120) take your Mixcast 4 to the next level. By popular demand, Tascam has introduced input gain control for USB, Bluetooth and 3.5mm AUX inputs. This means you can now control all the levels of your inputs for maximum reign over your volumes.
Helping to prevent audio feedback, the new firmware also includes a new ‘automatic mute’ on the monitor output when mic inputs are active. This helps to eliminate any feedback you can incur when using nearfield monitors. Other improvements include an updated audio level display which now measures sound in dB (decibels) as opposed to the red/green visual indicators. Audio ducking control has also been enhanced. You can now apply ducking control to sound pads, so when they are triggered the music/mic inputs are automatically lowered for a cohesive sound. You can now also access individual channel settings quickly and efficiently using the front panel channel buttons.
Incorporate custom jingles and sound FX
Featuring eight trigger pads complete with eight customisable banks, the Mixcast 4 allows you to incorporate your own jingles, sound effects and other audio files at the touch of a button. The Mixcast comes pre-loaded with a range of preset sound effects but you can easily customise the pads to trigger your own custom sounds. Not only that, but you can also use the sounds pads to trigger audio effects such as voice transformers, reverb and more for instant, real-time results.
Stream music via Bluetooth or AUX input
Want to spice up your podcast with music or take calls from guests live on air? You can use the external audio input to process audio from your smartphone, computer or another audio device. Enjoy echo-free conversations over the phone using the Mix-Minus feature to optimise your sound when talking to guests.
You can also stream audio wirelessly from Bluetooth-enabled devices. This can also be used to take calls on-air, as well incorporate audio files and music.
The complete recording package
Whether you’re a podcast, live-streamer or musician, the Mixcast is suited to virtually any recording application. The built-in SD card slot allows you to record up to 14 tracks directly to an SD card, so you can instantly save audio files. It also doubles up as a 16-in/2-out audio interface so you can the Mixcast with your favourite DAW.
Advanced controls and editing – Tascam Podcast Editor software
Once you’ve recorded your podcast/live stream you need to edit it to get the best results. Introducing the Tascam Podcast Editor. This dedicated mixing software allows you to edit your audio tracks and arm tracks, as well as configure custom sound effects and background music for the trigger pads. The streamlined and intuitive design of the software makes it easy ideal for beginners and professionals alike.
