SAM Cast 2023.3

SAM Cast 是一款專為 Windows 設計的直播串流編碼工具，主要解決廣播或網路電台在即時傳輸音訊時，需要同時輸出多種格式與位元率的問題。它內建完整的音訊處理器，包括等化器、閘控自動增益、立體聲擴展、低音調整與多頻段處理等，能直接修飾音質再送進編碼器。最特別的是可從單一介面同時設定 SpacialNet、aacPlusv2、MP3、Ogg 等多種編碼目標，並即時顯示聽眾人數與數據日誌。這套軟體自 2020 年收錄以來更新不算頻繁，近一年僅有一次更新，評價在音訊軟體中屬於普通，算是小眾但具特定用途的工具。

SAM Cast 適合需要穩定輸出多種串流格式的網路電台經營者或廣播愛好者，尤其當你同時要對接不同平台或伺服器時，它的多編碼並行能力能省下不少切換時間。與 Virtual DJ 或 iTunes 這類偏重播放與混音的軟體相比，SAM Cast 更聚焦在編碼與串流傳輸，少了音樂管理或視覺化功能，但換來的是更專業的串流控制。要注意的是它僅提供試用版，且介面只有英文，對不熟悉英文的使用者可能稍有門檻；另外它只支援 Windows 平台，使用前需確認系統環境是否符合需求。
