TascamMixcast 4 Podcast Streaming Mixer, Recorder, and USB Audio Interface — Four XLR/TRS Mic Inputs, Touch Screen and Editing Software Included

I recently picked up the Tascam Mixcast 4 Podcast Studio Mixer, and I have to say, I'm really impressed. This is a great little mixer that's perfect for podcasting or live streaming. It's compact and portable, so you can take it with you wherever you go.The Mixcast 4 is really easy to set up and use. It has four XLR inputs, which is perfect if you're recording a podcast with multiple hosts or guests. The mixer also has a USB interface, which makes it really easy to connect it to your computer and record directly into your DAW.One of the things I really appreciate about the Mixcast 4 is the sound quality. The preamps are really clean and transparent, and the mixer has a built-in compressor and EQ that help to shape the sound. I've used it to record both voiceovers and musical performances, and it's performed admirably in both situations.Another great feature of the Mixcast 4 is the headphone output. It has a built-in headphone amplifier that's really powerful and can drive even high-impedance headphones. This is great if you're recording in a noisy environment and need to monitor your audio closely.Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase of the Tascam Mixcast 4 Podcast Studio Mixer. It's a high-quality mixer that's easy to use, portable, and produces excellent sound quality. If you're in the market for a new mixer for your podcast or live streaming setup, I highly recommend giving the Mixcast 4 a try.

Perfecto 👌 I’m still learning how to use it but it fits my needs and for someone that has zero clue on how to use it if you have more experience than me you must buy it, I have had it for 2 years now.

I’ve used several decks always bumping up to the next level of sound clarity and easy to use.This deck is AWESOME.You can set input and output, use preset or customize your settings. Record on the deck, transfer from deck to pc/laptop without removing the memory card. Bright clear LED screen, NOICE sliders.XLR ports for mics, 6.25 headset ports.There is Bluetooth connectivity and you can connect your phone hard wire or Bluetooth.Absolutely 100% worth the list price.

I love this product, great sound quality, easy to use, connects easily, great value! Perfect for someone starting out or someone looking to improve their podcast. Got mine to help podcast on the road and I’m in love.

I was initially impressed with the Mixcast 4 when I first received it. It worked perfectly right out of the box, and I had no issues connecting it to my iMac. Unfortunately, this didn't last long. Now, I can barely get it to connect to my computer. I've tried everything—new USB cables, restarting both the computer and the Mixcast, and turning them on and off in different sequences. Even after multiple attempts, the connection is inconsistent at best. In addition, intermittently it will not turn on and I need to keep pushing the on/off button to get it to come on.The Mixcast has now been in repair for almost two weeks. I was informed by the repair technician that parts are on backorder from China, and they have no idea when they will arrive. More disappointment.To make matters worse, none of the features I was excited about—like using my microphone or the drops loaded in the pads—are working. If I try to play a soundtrack without the Mixcast, my computer speakers work just fine. But as soon as I turn on the Mixcast, all sound disappears, and the sound levels show nothing.I do a radio program every week and need reliable equipment. This product is unreliable and has been a huge disappointment. I just sent it off to a third part repair shop, Tascam does not repair their own equipment, and it cost me $70 to ship it, almost a quarter of the cost of the unit. I expected more, especially considering the price. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.

Update from 4 to 5 stars: The front Phones 1(TRRS) port always worked. It was my Y splitter that was bad. This thing ROCKS!2nd Update from 5 to 4 stars: I don't know if it's the latest f/w update but playing audio from your computer through this sound bad and clips. I thought it was the recording into the camera but when I play something from my computer and route it through this via USB it sounds bad and very much clipped. If I play the same content over my computer speakers or speakers on my Dell monitor it sounds fine. Not only that, I paid nearly $600 after tax this past March and now it's selling new for $399!!!3rd update here and back to 5 stars. If you want good playback from your computer via USB to the Mixcast 4, disable processing on the USB channel. It's ok to select none, voice or music from the voice settings but disable all other processing. I opened a support ticket and got a response from Teac within 24 hours asking me to call them while in front of the unit but I solved this and the call wasn't necessary so I'll give them 5 stars on customer support. Thank you Tascam/Teac.I got this to replace my Yamaha MG10XU + iRig 2 and it works swimmingly well! This thing oozes with quality and you can tell it's been well engineered and well thought out. The recent f/w update considered everyone's comments so thanks Tascam! I will update if and when I can get the front TRRS jack to work. I have two head sets and a Y cable that takes the mic plug and phones plug and brings them into one TRRS male plug. But I can't seem to get the port to pass any sound even after reading everything there is to read about it and reading the forums. It was over $600 delivered but you do get a real manual as well as a Tascam TM-70 microphone, 2 Tascam headsets and a 16 gig SD card. Tascam is smart in giving product away that probably won't sell, as an incentive to buy the Mixcast 4 and get them saturated and embraced in the world of podcasting and streaming. Now, back to getting this front TRRS port to work.
