The unit can be used independently from a computer, however, it’s useful to be able to dig deeper into things from the app. While the Gigcaster 8 is ostensibly digital mixer aimed at streamers, it's way, way more powerful than its name suggests. Gigcaster 5 is a powerful all-in-one audio command center purpose-built for musicians who livestream and create audio and video content. You can manage samples via the touchscreen but it’s also possible to swap and edit them using the free companion app for macOS and Windows, with further tools including parameter editing, backup of settings and audio file conversion. The more compact Gigcaster 5 drops the channel count to five and gives you a direct guitar/bass input, two XLR inputs, stereo line input, eight virtual sound/effect pads and 16x12 USB audio interfacing.
