In the tight form of the Bridge Cast, Roland serve up 'Pro Sound for Pro Gamers' by blending an audio interface with a podcasting mixer to complete a console that can fully level-up your gaming sound, and on top of that, the Bridge Cast has also been fully primed to support professional live streams. This desktop hub comes pre-packed with features designed to make the heart of any gamer beat a little faster, including effects that you can add to your voice and the ability to mix multiple tracks. This unit even supports broadcast-grade microphones and headphones, setting up any vlogger and streamer with a slick and progressive sidekick. Produce Professional Mixes Via the Bridge Cast, you can quickly dial in a mix of everything you need to hear via the bank of level controls provided for your microphones, chats, the gameplay sound and your background music. At the same time, you can craft a mix for your listeners and completely streamline the experience. Via the fitted line-out you can hook up a set of external gaming speakers, and to really polish everything up, you can apply effects, including equalisation and compression, a low-cut filter to shave off the low-end and soften the plosive sounds like 'P', 'S' and 'T' in your speech, and a noise suppressor to eliminate any unwanted background noise. The beauty of this compact system is that everything happens inside the hardware via an onboard DSP chip, leaving the CPU of your computer free to focus on more important things. Fully Customisable So users can stamp their Bridge Cast with their own unique brand, Roland have made it easy to unscrew and remove the faceplate so you can download a template, create your own custom skin and get it printed onto a sticker that can be placed it over the faceplate before reinstalling it to complete a fully personalised look. Besides stamping your console with your brand colours and your logo or gamer tag, you can also pick your own LED colour-way to match. Besides customising the aesthetics, your own custom sounds can be saved as presets and called up later and, if you need to hear the dialogue or certain sounds like footsteps more clearly, then you can also save sound settings as a preset and call them up for specific games. BGM Cast If you want to add some background music to your content and streams, then one of the first hurdles is rights and royalties. You could, of course, just make your own music, but if you're not so inclined, then Roland make things easier with BGM Cast, which supplies royalty-free music made by AI which has been checked and optimised for the human ear. With a free Roland account, you get a library of thirty-six background tracks and sixteen sound effects, but when you opt for Roland Cloud Core membership via the Bridge Cast app, then you gain access to thousands of extra tracks and hundreds of sound effects.
