[0.7 lb (0.3 kg)] First of all, great service by B&H as this unit arrived in one day, and they had great pre-sale support when I had questions about recording times and other features. I am using this mixer/recorder with my live band, and I love this thing! It is super easy to work, and it sounds great (very warm sounding and “punchy”). The main reason that I got this unit was for the built-in MULTI-TRACK recorder. Lots of mixers have a two track recorder, but this is the only one that I know of that allows you to record each individual channel. You can quickly re-mix and re-balance the recording to create a great sounding live mix. I have to say that it is the first time in my 15-year career as a live performer that I have actually gotten a “board tape” that sounds good! Keep in mind that you can do this WITHOUT a computer!! If you want to use a computer (or if you want to take tracks off of Pro Tools or something) and then re-mix them through the board, you can do that, but I have been able to make great sounding live recordings without dragging my laptop to the gig (a very good thing in my opinion). I also really like the on-board one knob compressor (although it can sound a bit “squashed” if you push it too hard). The built-in effects sound great (would like more choices, but what they do have is very useable). All in all, I’m very happy with the sound quality and especially the ease of use.

[Dante] The mixer is very easy and quick to set up, feels solid and well made, and can work for a many different types of projects. I set mine up for a podcast in under ten minutes with limited knowledge on audio mixers, so it is very intuitive and the multi-track recording made it very easy to edit and publish.

[0.53 lb] Plead guilty to having more money than common sense in this regard and therefore, at the moment, I have both devices (line out from Rode to Mixcast downstream) and they are both very well built, big bang for the bucks and very comparable. Comes down to personal preference. I have long experience with Tascam products, not so with Rode. Mixcast sliders VERY smooth and absolutely silent. Rode a tiny bit rough and tiny noise. Mix stores more sound pad recordings because it utilizes the SD card. Rode uses limited internal memory. With a little larger display, Mix shows sound pad labels WITH the VU meter (a biggie for me). Rode on separate screen page. Rode has quicker access to Mic modifications with dedicated buttons above sliders. Mix has fun voice changer that can be assigned to a sound pad button (for one mic). Rode uses micro SD cards (and I personally hate those tiny things) whereas Mix uses full size. To these old ears, sound quality comparable which I happen to think is largely a matter of Mic anyway (and BTW I highly recommend the Shure FM7Bs). So, MY personal preference is the Mixcast but only by a nose. Me thinks, one can't go wrong.

[0.53 lb] Love my Mixcast 4 bundle kit with the 512 Limelight mic. Awesome setup for podcasting. Especially like the Bluetooth input! Great kit

[0.7 lb (0.3 kg)] As I am upgrading my production machines to apple silicon, I was in need of a new high channel count Dante interface for my virtual soundcheck machine. This installed and configured with zero issues, recording 128 channels at 96k, also using prodcom for speech to text for talkback mics on an M1 Mac mini. Flawless. Highly recommend. The fact that Dante Controller is also able to utilize this as a NIC is a huge plus over the now obsolete Dante accelerator card.

[64] We put our own drive in one of these and it works great! Easy to take with you for post-production work after you're done capturing.

[Dante] I thoroughly shopped before choosing an interface, consulting with sound pros. They convinced me that I would not be disappointed with this purchase and they're right!

[0.53 lb] My workflow has changed a lot since I started using Antelope's interface and plugin. The sound is just amazing, and very easy to use. Definitely best acquisition for my studio.

[64] Great recorder with the options I need for my location recording work. I own 2 of these because they are rock solid and easy to connect via my needs.

[0.53 lb] I've used other brands of podcast mixers before and TASCAM's Mixcast 4 is by far the easiest.


Whether you're an amateur or a pro, the Mixcast 4 is extremely user-friendly. You can plug and play using the default settings (which are actually pretty decent straight out of the gate) or you can add compression, noise gating, or a couple other useful tools.


The pads are really easy to load or sync from your computer too; there are even more banks than I ever had with the competitor's unit.


TASCAM really outdid themselves on this one. Cheers!
