With the new Boss Gigcaster 5, you have a range of creative and convenient features to up the quality and interactivity of your live streaming output. However, when you integrate it with your DAW, it also functions as a 16×12 USB interface.

This compact 5-channel desktop USB mixer offers 32-bit floating-point audio processing and up to 48 kHz sampling rate. There’s a high-impedance input for electric guitar and bass, plus a high-quality effects and amp modeling engine borrowed from the GT-1000.

In addition, there are two XLR inputs and a stereo line in, so connecting mics and instruments is taken care of. To make things more interesting, there is a range of vocal effects borrowed from the VE vocal processor, including a harmonizer, and a voice transformer.

For in-stream audio processing, you also have a range of preset libraries for working with guitar, bass, vocals, and speech. What’s more, there are dedicated stereo channels for in-stream guests and Bluetooth for adding mobile devices.
