Yes, I did it. And this has happened because of YOU. There was a plan to purchase digital mixer with nice software. (Un)fortunately I have found your youtube spots about gigcaster. Afer 3 months of using GCS8 I must say .... thank you. Why? I have save money (no extra cables, external effects etc.) and the ability to work standalone is funtastic! I can record performance at once with no computer. But.....this had not have happened without - YOU. Thanks again.

Hi and sorry for the rather dumb question ! Can i first record with no effects onto the miCROSD and then play it back and then insert the effects? I don't want to commit myself to printing the effect so would rather try the various effects on the dry recording. I would use the effects from the Gigcaster rather than daw effects. Also is there a way of without a daw doing the same ie play back the microsd dry recording and add the gigcaster effects without the use of a daw. I do have a DAW so can use that in conjunction as long as I can get to try out different effects from the gigcaster. Thanks and really appreciate your videos on the gigcaster 8 :) Paul from Ewloe Wales.

Thanks JP. Have you used the Gigcaster with the RC 600? The Gigcaster sounds very useful for guitar and vocal effects, and for recording, but I'm wondering how I would set it up with a looper pedal. Could you separate the vocal and guitar outputs before running them into a looper?

@JohnPaulMusicUK

9 ай бұрын

Stay tuned 😉

Thanks for the awesome review! Few questions: 1. Can the vocal effects use the guitar channel input for detecting chords while harmonizing? 2. Can we enable guitar effects on two channels simultaneously? Like apply electric guitar effects on one and bass guitar effects on another channel simultaneously? 3. Can each microphone channel have a different vocal effect enabled simultaneously?

@JohnPaulMusicUK

6 ай бұрын

Yes to everything apart from number 1. It doesn’t do auto detect on harmonies but yes to everything else. It can certainly have different effects on different channels. For the third one you would add an effect and tweak it to how you want. It’s still technically one effect but with multiple effects within it, like a chain. Best way to do that is with the software for PC and Mac. 👍🏻 Watch this : kzread.info/dash/bejne/gYp8rcFpadzaedY.htmlsi=IVZ9h_d_OeBZWERP

What kind of phone cable to you need to plug in up front to have callers audio come in and also the caller hear everything. I have a lighting to 3.5 but it seems that just KZread videos can be heard but when it comes to calls or FaceTime. It resorts back to the phone.

Needs to be a TRRS cable for phones. So not your normal aux cable. Or you could use the Bluetooth option on the Bluetooth fader instead to have the call come in. That way you can be wireless. But be aware of possible interference.

@@JohnPaulMusicUK thank you. The cable was a TRS to lightning. I ordered a lighting to female TRRS and then a TRRS male to male. I hope this solves it. I want to be able to have the calls come in but play guitar and have both guitar and mic effects go back to the phone so the person can hear like during calls and FaceTime or video calls. I figured out the recording aspect for videos. I had to switch from Multitrack stream back to 2 way for it to record.

I think i've found the answer to what iv been looking for. Live streaming my gigs to Twitch has never been easier. Thank you JP for a great tutorial. How about when you're using loopers live etc?

Treated myself to the gcs8 with sm57&58 after getting my first track onto Spotify through a label, and survived the setup and firmware update, next is the multitrack driver for the DAW, and setting up KZread and OBS for streaming (and recording practice vids). Can you set up a Bluetooth headset with mic instead of phone/tablet (or say the Spark amp without taking up a mic in?)? Got a cheap expression pedal, then read that expression or volume pedals have to be the Roland or boss ones (though Thomann said to give it a whirl regardless, worst case scenario it simply won't work)... looks like a LOT of fun, and good for everything I do (even teaching online for my day job!)-sweet bit o' kit!

The main thing you will use is the app called ‘Files’ on your iPad. Create a folder first and then you will plug the SD card in with an Adapter, Goto files and transfer the audio. One is an SD card reader for the iPad. If it’s lightening or USB C will depend on which one you need.

Hi! Love your videos. Maybe a bit too much it seems. ;-) Since I was looking for some equipment for my two kids to play bass, guitar, sing, and record at the same time, it seemed like a good solution. A reputable company - not named - had a good deal at half price, so I ordered it. It's shipping now. However, even though the Gigcaster 8 has numerous inputs it seems as if you could only connect one guitar/bass at a time? And only one mic at a time? Do I have to get two of these to fulfill my needs? Is there a way to use it as I originally thought - for a two-man band, or is it just a great one-man band streaming device? If the latter is the case, do you have any tips on what to get that would meet my needs better, where streaming may not be the most important part. Maybe at half the price of this unit. :-)

Hey 👋 Thank you so much. 😊 To answer your question, you have 4 inputs and they are combi jacks which means they can take either a jack input or a mic input and you tell the Gigcaster 8 what kind it is with the button on that input. So you could have 2 mics and a guitar and a bass no problem and record the lot on SD card either as a stereo or record each track separately. 👍🏻 Watch this as a setup guide for multiple musicians - kzread.info/dash/bejne/c5mIpM2KYcTZm5c.htmlsi=cAdRqVOt7QNe_Bym

You can stream live no issues with plugging the RC-300 output into the GigCaster. Difficult to use the fx into the 300 and bring it back in again. Would have to cleverly use the headphone input and feed it back in.. but.. I haven’t tested this as I think that you would get feedback which would then feed back into the main output. Hoping that they update to that you can edit what comes out of the headphone output (separate mixes).
