The Mixcast 4 from TASCAM is a super easy-to-use workstation for mixing podcast audio, without all of the complicated settings. With four microphone inputs (TRS/XLR combo jacks) and four headphone outputs with independent volume controls, this stress-free mixer is a great fit for producing small events, live streams, and small group podcasts. Its Bluetooth connectivity allows you to record and mix phone calls with ease. 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. A real dual threat, the Mixcast 4 is also great for recording music when you switch into the 14-in/2-out “USB audio interface mode,” giving you up to 14 tracks of direct multi-track recording to an SD card. The Mixcast 4 is the versatile, yet simple to use mixer that you’ve been waiting for!
