Turn Online into SHOWTIME!
The TASCAM MiNiSTUDIO Creator US-42 is your personal production and online broadcast studio. Featuring a professional quality audio interface and a number of unique real-time effects, the MINISTUDIO Creator delivers everything you need to become the next internet sensation.
Something to say? Something to play?
At the heart of every Podcast, broadcast and YouTube video lies the desire to
communicate. And more often than not, this communication takes the form of the
human voice…and TASCAM knows a thing or two about recording the human voice.
Central to the MiNiSTUDIO Creator are a pair of XLR/combo connectors and dual
HDDA mic preamps. These studio-quality mic pres, coupled with built-in phantom
power allow you to quickly and easily connect your favorite dynamic or conderser
microphones and get the conversation started. Under the hood, the MiNiSTUDIO
Creator also features dual 4-band parametric EQ, adjustable on-board compression
and a digital reverb effect with a convenient front panel depth control. And
just in case you'd like to add a bit of music to the mix the MiNiSTUDIO Creator
features two Hi-z 1/4" inputs ready to accept an electric guitar or bass. Talk
on, or rock on. It's up to you.
Have an effect
Designed to bring an extra dimension to your podcasts and live streaming, the
TASCAM MiNiSTUDIO features three assignable PON sound effect buttons. Use the
included bell, buzzer and applause effects or apply your own .wav or .mp3 files
for a completely customized experience. You can also set each velocity sensitive
PON button to act as a one-shot sound effect, to only play while you press or to
loop as long as you hold the button down. Why should the morning DJ's have all
the fun?
Find your voice
Disguise your voice, fool your fans! Perhaps the most extreme feature of the
MiNiSTUDIO Creator is the Voice Effects option. Simply pressing this innocent
little button will instantly transform your voice in any one of a number of
amazing and amusing ways. Pitch your voice up into cartoon mouse territory or
pitch it down like you've joined the Dark Side. Add a spacey Echo, wobbly
Chopper or go old school with the Walkie-talkie-approved Radio effect. Voice
Effects: crazy, extreme and a whole lot of fun.
Become an Expert
In addition to the default Easy mode of the TASCAM MiNiSTUDIO software panel is
an Expert mode that can be accessed by selecting the tab along the top of the
window. This exposes a more comprehensive set of controls that enable you to
fine tune EQ, compression and reverb settings as well as customize the behavior
of the PON sound effect buttons and the various Voice Effect options. Don't be
fooled by the friendly face of the MiNiSTUDIO – underneath the shiny exterior
lies a truly professional tool that proudly carries the TASCAM name.
Make a production out of it
Unique to the MiNiSTUDIO Creator is a powerful Creator / Broadcast selector
switch on the front panel of the device. When set to Broadcast mode, the
audience will hear exactly what you hear as all audio generated my the
MiNiSTUDIO and/or your computer will be mixed together in a single stereo
stream. Talk, play guitar, play games or play MP3 files. If you hear it, they
hear it. But flick the switch to Creator and you're in full production mode.
When set to Creator, the MiNiSTUDIO transforms into a professionally specced
two-channel USB Audio Interface. Perfectly suited for any DAW or video editing
software, the combination of dual HDDA mic preamps, Hi-z inputs, EQ,
compression and reverb deliver a powerful and flexible front end for any media
production task.
