Product Information

Using the dedicated Gigcaster 5 App, you can sound pad playback, edit parameters, backup, and convert audio files!

While the Gigcaster 8 is ostensibly digital mixer aimed at streamers, it's way, way more powerful than its name suggests.The Gigcaster 5 allows for individually recording each input channel onto its own track in a DAW or audio software. Though we don’t find any issues streaming directly into Cubase, you might arguably reduce the complexity of a session by using the SD card – if nothing else, it allows you to do your recording without even needing a computer, which can be a bonus if you’re travelling or are short on space.

Given that these are Boss products, you’d expect the Gigcasters to have some guitarist/bassist-specific features, and indeed they do. With the new Boss Gigcaster 5, you have a range of creative and convenient features to up the quality and interactivity of your live streaming output. Andertons Music Company is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm registration number 716155. Four XLR/TRS combo jacks offer ample space for microphones and line connections, letting you Gigcast with guests and utilize headphone connections with independent levelers and EQs to create a stream that gets everyone on the same sonic page.Additionally, a grid of eight color-coded effect pads lines the bottom of the Gigcaster 8, providing quick and in-reach triggering for your favorite effects and sounds. Wireless audio connectivity is also provided, with a Bluetooth channel present to facilitate streaming from mobile devices, and the Gigcaster 8 features a built-in stereo microphone in addition to its I/O connections. I have a 3d printing business so I designed and printed an accessory that changes the angle of the Gigcaster by raining the back and providing side walls and an angled hood to shield the unit from the sky and sun.

Of course, you're not limited to the presets - you can get as deep with your signal chain as you'd like in the edit window, or using the dedicated Gigcaster app. There's also an onboard stereo microphone, and you can even record live stereo and multi-track audio directly to microSD. 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. There’s also extensive support for hands-free control via footswitches, expression pedals, and the GA-FC or GA-FC EX foot controllers. Each of you will need to purchase a Gigcaster as a guitar can only be plugged into channel 1 and a vocalist can only plug their mic into channel 2.All of our products are new unless stated and come with a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 3-year warranty as standard. Livestream performances and video creation demand a lot: interfacing, effects management mixing, external devices — the list goes on. In addition, we have a library of Owner’s Manuals and Support Documents that you can download and reference.
