Mixcast 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.

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.

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 heard about the Mixcast-4 from a good friend who had tremendous success integrating it with his video game streaming sessions. It is now the center of my podcasting sessions, where I'd now consider it a crucial component. I run four (different) microphones and this system makes it very easy to set levels and get them sounding just right, straight from the device itself. It also has trigger pads, so I can trigger music and sound effects within seconds when we are recording. Having the option to do this live, rather than in post, really elevated the vibes at our sessions and in turn helped us create better podcasts. Definitely a level up. If you are thinking about getting this system for podcasts or streaming, do it! You will not be disappointed.

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.

I tried a few cheaper systems for podcasting. I also researched the industry "standard". For the price, the mixcast is a winner .. don't fall for the popular hype. Tascam has been around for years... This has all the features you need and then some.

Wow, does this simplify my workflow. I have not yet put it to a full stress test but I built a stand for it that holds my iPad above it and speakers to either side with cable storage underneath. I use it standalone, recording to the internal SD card or I connect it to my Mac using the monitor outputs to connect to my Presonus Audiobox iTwo audio interface to record my podcast in Garageband. Love how easy it is to drop audio onto the sample pads with the Tascam Podcaster app. Great build quality, the knobs and faders are firm but move easily. The display is excellent and the sound modelling per channel is outstanding. I still have to try out the audio in from phone call feature but that will be coming soon. It has Bluetooth without having to purchase a separate module. Could not be happier with this thing.

Got this bad boy in the mail today set up was a snap 🫰🏼 bravo Tascam this thing almost set's its self up. Mic set up, SD card set up Bluetooth set up, I could go on and on. (Ran my electric guitar 🎸 in it too) so clear. The versatility of this unit is more then I thought. 5 stars. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very user friendly desk and works well for what I need.

Un mixer fantastico funziona subito che e’ una meraviglia ho anche due Rodecaster che mi fanno disperare per via dei collegamenti questo invece è molto intuitivo veramente contento

I bought this mixer a few weeks ago. The mixer is has some weight to it and is pretty easy to use except for the firmware update. However after watching a few instructional videos on YouTube I was able to get it done. I'm still trying to navigate the podcast recording software but the mixer itself is top notch.

Ganz am Anfang: Ich habe eine Lösung gesucht, für eine Podcast Aufnahme mit 4 Personen vor Ort und eine Person Remote. Ich habe keine Effekte, o. Ä. gebraucht, dies war kein Kriterium bei meinem Kauf! Nach kurzer Recherche habe ich mich für den Tascam Mixcast 4 entschieden. Grund hierfür war, die passende Anschlüsse, ausreichende Tutorials und einfache Bedienbarkeit. Die Qualität der Aufnahmen ist super. Die eingebauten Effekte und Filter ebenfalls. Ich würde es definitiv empfehlen. Ich hatte beim Einrichten 2 Fehler: 1. Ich konnte keine Firmware Update durchführen. Die Fehlermeldung war: File System ist corrupted. Lösung: eingesetzte SD-Karte vollständig langsam Formatieren und erneut einsetzen. 2. Extrem hohes Grundrauschen von 3 Mikrofonen gleichzeitig. Lösung: So dumm, wie es auch klingen mag, ich habe die Gain von jeden einzelnen Mikrofonspur auf das Maximum hochgedreht, damit wurde ein extrem lautes piepsen (Rückkopplung) erzeugt... und wusch, der Grundgeräusch ist verschwunden.. bis heute kann ich mir dieses Phänomen nicht erklären. Pro: - Mit ein bisschen Tricksen kann man bis zu 8 Mikrofone anschließen - Sehr gute Verarbeitung - Gute Aufnahmequalität - 512GB SD Karte --> Bis zu 70 Stunden Aufnahme DIREKT am Mischpult gespeichert - Knöpfe, Regler fühlen sich hochwertig an - Touch Display ist leicht (auch spontan und schnell) bedienbar - Regelmäßige Firmware Updates und ständige neue Funktionen Con: - Netzteil sieht nicht so aus, als ob es 1 Jahr ständiges abstöpseln überleben würde - Man kann nicht ein Mikrofon Profil, auf den anderen 3 Profile übertragen. Man muss jedes Profil einzeln anpassen / Einstellungen ändern Pro: -

Kullanıyorum, çok memnunum, iyi ki almışım. Düşünüyorsanız gecikmeden alın. Pişman olacağınızı kesinlikle düşünmüyorum. Amatörün de bir kademe üstünde, özellikle podcast kaydı veya yayıncılık için fazlasıyla yeterli. Güle güle kullanın.
