What Podcaster does
The application runs on a computer and works with any audio interface, so a hardware mixer is not required to manage the broadcast. Inputs cover up to 5 mono and 2 stereo sources, and each channel carries a 3-band equalizer, a deesser, a compressor and 2 insert slots.
A built-in audio player and sampler sit alongside the mixer, and a voice changer engine includes 8 pre-designed effects that process the voice in real time. Outputs are 3 stereo outputs and 4 aux outputs, with a dedicated metering section. Stereo master and individual channels can be recorded, and presets can be saved and recalled.
