A superb GoXLR alternative - the Roland Bridge Cast mixer |
|
This is the Roland Bridge Cast, a compact and yet surprisingly capable XLR interface and mixer that allows you to do all sort of things. This is a compact device with plenty of power and interesting highlights for those looking to record audio and stream to an audience on Twitch, YouTube or elsewhere. In this video on the Roland Bridge Cast I'm trying to show some of the possibilities of what it can do and how it's potentially really interesting.
Highlights of this audio mixer include: Separate controls for muting mic, aux, chat and game audio Onboard EQ allows users to enhance their voices or alter them completely with effects Onboard DSP with compressor, noise gate, reverb and EQ etc High-quality 75dB mic preamp and headphone amp ideal for dynamic/condenser mics Customisable aluminium panel Hidden things that might not be immediately obvious: As well as being an XLR interface it also works with headset mics You have both hardware and virtual sound channels that can be controller Virtual channels allow you to create separate audio tracks for your recordings (ideal for clips or tips and tricks videos!) Buttons can be customised to set the controls to your preference Audio levels can be tweaked so you have different volumes for stream vs what you hear Set music for just your audience or just yourself!?
