Focusrite Vocaster audio interfaces for podcasting
Focusrite’s new Vocaster One and Two interfaces have plenty of podcast-friendly functionality. For example, an AutoGain function is available to automatically adjust the levels of connected microphones. It’s paired with the Enhance feature for a choice of three voice enhancements. Because everyone needs some of that radio announcer voice.
There is also a dedicated Mute button (two of them on the larger unit). This is an important aid, especially for live streams – you can quickly fade audio out when needed. Moreover, audio clips such as intros and sound effects can be integrated directly from the stereo loopback function. You can also bring in calls from messaging apps that way. Additionally, both interfaces have an additional mini jack (3.5mm) input to connect phones and stereo playback devices.
