[SAMCAST Pro 2014.7 Incl Patch
Abdul Soumphonphakdy
The package includes a busy-looking interface that packs in many features like audio processor, gated AGC, a bass equalizer, a 5-band processor and an audio clipper. Multiple formats can be encoded and multiple bit rates are supported. Multiple sample rates can be encoded at the same time using this software which can help reduce the time it takes to create multiple versions of the same audio stream so users can pick between less or more bandwidth-intensive listening options on a live (or recorded) broadcast.
The interface is like a digital deck with many slider controls, LEDs level indicators, and read outs all updating in real-time as changes are made or audio feeds through the desk. It can take a while to figure out what everything does as the number of included features is considerable.
SAM Cast Pro is a professional quality audio streaming software package that is capable of broadcasting live from a choice of several audio sources. It includes DSP plugins, multi-band equalizers, meta data track support, and more.
