The Mixcast 4 from TASCAM is a super easy-to-use podcast workstation that ditches all of the complicated settings. With four microphone inputs (TRS/XLR combo jacks) and four headphone outputs with independent volume controls, this stress-free station is the perfect fit for producing small group podcasts. MixCast 4 is optimized for streaming, allowing Bluetooth connectivity to record and mix phone calls with ease while the Mix Minus function simultaneously engages to reduce feedback for clear, high quality performance. An easily navigable 5-inch touch panel gives you access to eight sound effects banks including “applause,” “alarm,” and “wrong answer,” all triggered by eight large color-coded sound pads to create an entertaining live environment for your shows. Sweetwater recommends taking advantage of TASCAM’s included Podcast Editor software to help you get up and running from day one, making track arming, effects assignment, and audio editing clear and easy. MixCast 4 handles it all, recording up to eight combinations of inputs at a time (mic, 1/4-inch, 1/8-inch, Bluetooth, and USB inputs) to the internal SD card with ease, meeting every need of your podcast. The Mixcast 4 is the versatile, yet simple to use podcast station that you’ve been waiting for!
