I love the way she immersed herself into the item she is talking about. Taking the time to zoom in and even physically point to the part she’s talking about. It’s very intimate. Also, nice to see a chick doing some smooth work in this field of music-tech reviews.

Great review, very fun to watch! 🙂

I have watched a lot of reviews on this bit of kit but this one made me happy........Good job Emily Talent & Tech in perfect harmony.

Great equipment and I love your style!

This is a new way to review products, it’s really fun, good show.

Thanks Em. I have one of these already. They're fantastic for a quick set up go perform, without worrying about all the technical live-streaming stuff. A wonderful video. Thank you [from Australia] 🙏😃👍👍

This is the greatest review. And I love the theme song! So many options! You're so funny and charismatic; you make everyone want this piece of equipment!

Great 👏

lovely review,funny,uplifting with great playing and singing

Love that Fender Acoustic ! You've got great taste !

😁 you made my day

Your comment about needing more xlr inputs is spot on. I need something like this to gig and livestream my whole band. I really need 21 xlr combo jack channels... but I could make 16 work with a side mixer on drums (which will free up 8 channels.)

Nice review! You even wrote them a song😂

I've been tinkering with the footswitch (the FA-GC) and the Gigcaster over the weekend, going into depth with the parameters the footswitch can access and if someone wanted to use this as a 'backing track playback' machine this is what I've learned. You get a bit more functionality if you don't use the 'PAD LINK' function. As the footswitch pedals can access many more 'A' functions than 'B-D' functions, what I wanted to do (namely, start tracks with the footswitch and turn the EFX on and off between tracks) can be achieved but with a reduced number of tracks. Since the GA-FC has 6 buttons I can access 32 tracks via 4 buttons and with a simple changeover of parameters can access the other 32 tracks which could be changed between sets. This is fine for what I want. So by setting the FA-GC to 'PAD LINK' off, you can set the individual GROUPS. Choose 'PEDAL 1' icon. Then select GROUP 'A' and set the CATEGORY to CH 2 and set the FUNCTION to 'EFFECT ON / OFF'. Then select GROUP 'B' and set the CATEGORY to 'SOUND PAD' and the FUNCTION to 'SOUND PAD 1'. With this setting, when you press PEDAL 1, you either start the track on SOUND PAD 1 and turn the EFX on CH2 ON, or pressing again stops the track and turns the EFX off. You rinse and repeat for the other three PEDALS (2-4) altering just the 'B' Group FUNCTION setting to SOUND PAD 2, SOUND PAD 3, or SOUND PAD 4. To change the BANKS of SOUNDPADS choose PEDAL 5, GROUP 'A' and set it to 'SOUND BANK UP'. This way, every time you press PEDAL 5 the SOUND PADS ascend to the next bank. A cool trick then is to hold PEDAL 5 down and it ascends to the last BANK (8), from which you can press single presses to access a particular BANK (say 5 presses to go to BANK 5). With a TRACK SHEET laid at the foot of the pedalboard, I can navigate to any of the 32 tracks on BANKS 1-8 on SOUND PADS 1-4. Likewise with a simple tweak (changing the 'B' Group FUNCTION in each PEDAL to SOUND PAD 5-8), the pedalboard can then navigate to the 32 tracks on SOUND PADS 5-8 through the BANKS 1-8. I've made a tracksheet as follows, where my SOUND PADS in each BANK all correspond to the same colour. PAD 1 = WHITE, PAD 2 = RED, PAD 3 = YELLOW, PAD 4 = GREEN, PAD 5 = ORANGE, PAD 6 = BLUE, PAD 7 = PURPLE, PAD 8 = PINK The NUMBER at the top is the PEDAL NUMBER and the number at the sides are the BANK: Changing the FUNCTION to SOUND PAD 5-8 you can then access the other 32 tracks, This suits our setup as I perform original tracks while my wife who is a classically trained soprano, performs covers. I hope that lot makes sense. I will do a KZfaq video when I get the time...and that's not even mentioning the jaw-dropping EFX on this thing which makes a live sound so easy to achieve.

Wow, great looking product! I will message you with questions! I've been looking at the 5 and the 8

Thanks!

I bought it as the perfect Jamulus machine for online jamming. (Nearly perfect. A metronome and monitoring button would make it perfect. Non-direct monitoring can be done, but it's a workaround rather than the button/knob/switch it should be.)

👏

Ansioso pra chegar ao Brasil essa máquina. ❤❤❤❤

My goodness, you are just bubbly smiley happy goofy wonderful silly adorable talented bundle of fun... love your videos. Looking forward to the live streams.... best wishes

Great review and super creative video. You’ve even wrote a song for it 👏. Wondering how this will do live. I’ve been wanting a way to record and live stream at gigs. Ordered one today… 🎸 🕺

Absolutely Great Information! You Are Really Good At Describing Its Features!! I Am A Noble DJ Would You Recommend This As A Good External Mixer To Add To My Set Up I.E. Plugging My Denon Prime Go Or Denon Prime 2 DJ Controller Along With Mics Etc To Get A Cleaner Sound? Please Let Me Know Thanks Again For A GREAT VIDEO!!!

Hey… thanks for the great review… does it have a noise gate?

Golden voice !!

You are a very talented and beautiful artist. I plan to get this mixer soon. As a DJ, I need this device for live broadcasting on video streaming.

Be aware this (and all other podcast mixers) are fixed at one sample rate. They don’t automatically switch with you DAW software like an audio interface does when using USB.

Dope is this the video you were talking about and can you put the boss loop with this

Hello, you know what? For how much quality content you have been delivering, there are 100x too few subscribers - if I may say so. Love your work and the power you are delivering. Wishing you all the best!🍀

A review with a theme song, that has to be a 1st. That's awesome.

I really don't know which one to get the Gigcaster or the Rodecaster pro 2! I need a balanced option for recording guitars and vocals, and general uses such as Zoom calls, discord, youtube and social media recordings and so on! Tom Buck speaks highly about the RCP2 but he is focusing on vocals more than music, so I would love to hear your opinion! or should I just go for something simpler like the Focusrite 2i2 4th gen?

Does it come with a Talent button?😂. Emily…You have Talent! Beautiful voice as always 👏🏻👏🏻

Just received mine! Have you done a tutorial on streaming live with your phone to TikTok? or maybe know of one? Thanks for any help!

Boss is nice equipment

I love everything about you

Hey Em. Hope all is well. What boo arm did you get. It looks like an ixtech? The one I have I don’t like.

Which one is better between this gigcaster 8 vs rodecaster pro 2 ?

so that reverb also includes that voice echo>?

Like a small er Roland mx 1?

Yes it will replace it .. I’m getting one .. lol

It seems similar to the Zoom L8. But you make everything sound good. Even if it was a piece of crap (which I am not saying it is), but if it was you would make it sound good because of your talent. On the flip side there are good pieces of gear that sound like crap because the artist is playing out of time or singing flat & sharp throughout.

You're super sweet 5:28 -5:33 thank you thank you thank you ☺️.

Anyone know why Windows would see this but no audio input is coming in? The mixer sees my voice but windows will not. Driving me nuts. Drivers are up to date. Settings are right...

Has anybody found a PowerBank that can power the Gigcaster 8 from the USB-C port as claimed by Boss? All the ones I've tried instigate the machine to come up with a 'power insufficient, please use the supplied power adaptor'.

❤ singing an Irish song as Brit Rock May upset a few people, great review apart from that, Ireland is not British hahaha 🤣

Hey everybody look at me!! I want everybody to tell me how cute I am in the comment section!

I had one for nearly 10 days before decided to sale it... It's not something made for musician. The guitar and bass FX are really really bad, the vocal FX are poor quality... The build quality feel very cheap especially for a product of this price... There is no 'play' button to listen back to your recording you have to enter the 'sd card" menu to do so ... etc.... it's an expensive cheap quality gadet and I would not recomand it to anyone

Giga expensive too. Pass.

What are you doing Emily? In comparison to the counterparts by Mackie and Rode, the Boss is inferior, but more costly. Take the tiny display, the missing connectivity, the designated inputs, the meager control possibilities. Especially for musicians, the Gigcaster is not a very good choice, as it is much too limiting. Roland keeps on relying on their brand name. But it‘s not working for the faithful customers. The least you could do as a responsible reviewer is to be honest to your followers and point out the shortcomings of this piece of gear, that came in too late with too little that works for the hard working musician.

è che sei troppo convincente .. e non so il perchè
