    Gigcaster 8 is a powerful all-in-one audio command center purpose-built for musicians who livestream and create audio and video content. It delivers all the tools you need for professional sound in a single desktop interface, along with quick-access live control via faders, knobs, eight assignable pads, and a vivid color touchscreen.

    Plug in a guitar or bass and play with flagship-level GT amps and effects. Connect mics and process voices with studio-grade processing from the VE series. Or bring in a keyboard or drum machine using the line inputs. You can mix a total of eight sources as you stream, including background music and sound from a remote guest or student. Adding in external control support, recording to microSD media, and more, Gigcaster 8 is an essential partner for music performers, remote educators, podcasters, and anyone creating music-focused media.
