Plug in your guitar or bass to the instrument jack for smooth DI sounds, or groove out with your keyboard — even simultaneously. A USB-C jack and Bluetooth connectivity mean effortless leveling from smartphones and other devices to help keep your streams balanced on all fronts. Even operate hands-free with your BOSS footswitch or expression pedal of choice!

Quality mixing and interfacing made easy

Each channel within the Gigcaster 8 provides a mute control and dedicated sliders for leveling within the mix, all reflected on the digital color display to help you accurately compare the performance of each source. All XLR inputs supply phantom power with premium preamps and low-noise engineering, ensuring that vocals always sound their best. Operating with 32-bit floating-point processing and a 48kHz sampling rate, you can expect extraordinary clarity and sound replication from all the sources you’re working with. There’s also an onboard stereo microphone, and you can even record live stereo and multi-track audio directly to microSD. The details of each mix can go mobile, too, thanks to the Gigcaster 8 app for Mac/PC, which provides conveniences like parameter editing and audio file conversion.

Want a solution for recording your latest projects while the camera’s off but don’t want to double up on gear? The Gigcaster 8 functions wonderfully as an audio interface in addition to a mixer, allowing you to easily multitrack right to your DAW. Talk about a space saver!
