High-Quality Hardware

The Tascam Us-42B Is Packed Full Of High-Quality Hardware For Such A Small/User-Friendly Device. Whilst Supporting Pro Mics, The Ministudio Is Compatible With Computer Headset Mics And 4-Pole Earphones With Mic Designed For Smartphones (Use What You Have Rather Than Purchasing Excessive Equipment). To Start Recording, Simply Press The “On Air” Button To Send The Sound That Is In Your Headphones To The Computer (Button Lights-Up When “On-Air”. By Utilising The Loopback Function, You Can Play Background Music Using Itunes Or Windows Media Player That Is Already Installed On Your Device – Stereo Aux Input Mini-Jack Further Enables An Ipod (Or Other Portable Music Player) To Use For Playback.

To Play Pre-Made Jingles Or Sound Effects, Simply Assign Your Sound/Audio File To One Of The Three Sound Trigger Pads.

Impressive Software Suited To Both Beginners And Professionals

By Switching From The Easy Tab To The Expert Tab, You Are Provided With Advanced Audio Settings Within The Dedicated Software. These Include The Ability To Make Fine Adjustments To Equalizer, Compressor, Parameters Of The Voice Effects, And Change The Signal Routing. A Key Issue With Live-Streaming A Video Image And Sound Is That Video Processing Requires More Computer Power Than Sound Processing. Put Simply, The Sound Is Ready Sooner Than The Image And Is Therefore Ahead Of The Picture. To Counteract This, The Ministudio Creator Delays The Sound By The Offset Amount. Do This By Entering A Number In Milliseconds On The Screen And Be Sure To Check The Result In Realtime (Allow Time For Corrections). Detailed Settings Can Also Be Made To The Trigger Pads – Settings Made In Expert Mode Are Retained When Switching Back To Easy Page.
