Focusrite Vocaster Series of Interfaces for Podcasting
The Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 has been the industry-standard for audio interfaces for years. Focusrite decided to create a new series of audio interfaces designed just for podcasting: the Vocaster. You might be thinking, “I already have a Scarlett 2i2 interface that works just fine. Why do I need a Vocaster?”
What makes the Vocaster different from your average interface?
Focusrite created the Vocaster series of audio interfaces just for podcasters and content creators. The Vocaster One has one mic input, whereas the Vocaster Two has two mic inputs. Vocaster understands that both new and experienced podcasters may not understand or be interested in the intricacies of audio. What level do I set my gain at? Why can’t I hear my guest speaker? These are all questions you don’t have to ask when using the Vocaster.
The Vocaster One and Two interfaces do all of the hard work for you. The first thing you’ll have to do when starting a podcast is set your mic gain. Mic gain is the strength of the audio signal from the microphone to the interface. The Vocaster microphone gain knob on the top of the interface sheds a green light when your microphone gain is set to a good level, a red light when it needs adjustment, and a yellow light when it is somewhere in the middle. If you still can’t figure out how to get that green light to go off, then just press the auto gain button and the Vocaster will set your gain for you.
That’s not all that the Vocaster does for you. Once you start recording your podcast, you’ll quickly realize that your voice sounds different when recorded than it does in real life. If you don’t like how your voice sounds on the recording, use one of the Vocaster’s four speech enhancements to a little added effect.
What makes the Vocaster special for podcasters?
Ok, so now let’s get to the interesting stuff. You started a podcast and you’re ready to bring your first guest on. What do you do? With most audio interfaces, your only viable option for bringing guests onto your podcast would be to meet up with your guest in person, and set up a second microphone for them to speak into. With the Vocaster it’s as easy as making a phone call. The Vocaster contains a TRRS input for cell phones. Connect your phone to your Vocaster interface, call up your guest, and the entire phone conversation will be recorded! On the Vocaster Two, you can even do this via bluetooth.
The Vocaster further has a TRRS 3.5 mm output to connect your camera to. If you are recording video for Youtube or another platform, you can connect your camera to your interface so that your video and audio are already synced up perfectly. This will save you tons of time later when it’s time to start editing.
