Today I walkthrough, explain, test and review the new Tascam Mixcast 4 which is a podcasting console similar to the Rodecaster Pro. I compare the preamp to the Rodecaster Pro 1 to see if there's a significant difference or not, test the SM7b on this interface, and walk through all the processing, and software.

HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/ray Electric Guitar Demo: https://youtu.be/f0uoxY9_5QI Today i review the Lewitt Ray, a microphone based on the LCT440 but with technology inside that adjusts to your distance. This means that if you move around a lot while recording it will maintain a relatively consistent level and tone. The mic leans on the brighter side of mics with tons of detail and it also has a physical mute button which is tight. RECORDING SETTINGS: • Interface: Focsurite Scarlett 18i20 2nd Gen • Conversion: 24-bit / 48kHz • Gain: ~3:00 • Boosted in Post: +6dB SPECS: • Polar Pattern: Cardioid • Freq Response : 20Hz - 20khz • Sensitivity: -33dB • Self Noise: 8BA • Max SPL: 131dB • Impedance: 120 Ohms Buy the Lewitt Ray (Affiliate Links) Amazon: https://geni.us/lray Sweetwater: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/ray Thomann: https://www.thomannmusic.com/lewitt_ray.htm?offid=1&affid=2060 Buy the Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)- Same Performance as 18i20 (Affiliate Link) Amazon: https://geni.us/2i32rd Sweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/k6g4d B&H Photo: https://bhpho.to/42lcWDF Thomann: https://www.thomannmusic.com/lewitt_ray.htm?offid=1&affid=2060 NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): As an associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
