Boss’s new ‘all-in-one’ Gigcaster audio mixers give musicians everything they need to start livestreaming (and they might be pretty good for recording, too)

For many musicians, livestreaming is now as important as gigging - possibly even more important, in fact. Which goes a long way to explaining why Boss has just announced the Gigcaster 8 and 5, two new audio mixers for anyone who wants to stream to the likes of YouTube, Facebook or Twitch, or to prepare content offline for uploading later.

What's more, thanks to their audio interfacing capabilities, they can also be used for recording front-ends for your DAW.
