Mcaster1Studio uses a self-signed code signing certificate. Windows SmartScreen may show a warning for software from publishers it does not yet recognize. To proceed, click More info then Run anyway. The installer imports the signing certificate during installation to prevent future warnings.

Mcaster1Studio requires Windows 10 or Windows 11 (x64) with at least 8 GB RAM. A multi-core processor is recommended for real-time audio encoding and AI features. No admin rights are required for installation — the app installs to your user profile directory.
