Our take

Vocaster Hub is Focusrite's free control app for the Vocaster One and Two interfaces. Auto Gain, voice presets, and clean input metering make it useful for newer podcasters. Tied to Vocaster hardware, so think of it as part of the purchase rather than a standalone tool.

Pros
  • Auto Gain handles input levels for beginners
  • Free with any Vocaster purchase
  • Clean routing for mic, computer, phone, camera
Watch-outs
  • Requires Vocaster hardware
  • Less flexible than Wave Link or MOTIV Mix
  • Built around two-mic workflows
In depth

Vocaster Hub is the configuration and mixing app that ships with Focusrite's Vocaster One and Two podcast-focused USB interfaces. For a beginner podcaster who's just bought a Vocaster and one or two dynamic mics, it's the friendliest setup software in the category. Auto Gain runs a quick automatic level set so you don't have to guess input gain — and in v1.3 you can now pick a target use case (Default, Stream, or Camera) and Auto Gain will tune to match. The voice-enhance presets apply quick EQ and compression tunings that work for typical podcast voices. The interface is small and well-organised, with clear input metering for host and guest mics, easy 48V phantom power toggling, and a Show Mix routing layer that pulls in computer audio, phone audio via the Vocaster's Bluetooth or USB-C inputs, and a camera return. A new dark theme was added in the latest update, which is a small but welcome quality-of-life touch. The trade-off is scope. Vocaster Hub is designed around the two-mic podcast use case and doesn't scale to four-host shows or complex routing. If you outgrow the format, you outgrow the software. For new podcasters specifically targeted by the Vocaster line, it's a friendly free part of the bundle. Combined with the Vocaster hardware, it's one of the cleanest entry points to dedicated podcast gear in 2026.
