Zoom L-12 LiveTrak Digital Mixer Recorder Overview

The Zoom LiveTrak L-12 makes it easy to mix, record, and monitor using just one piece of compact equipment.

The L-12 lets you mix your live performance and record up to 12 discrete channels (eight mono and two stereo), which have a 3-band mid-parametric EQ and 16 built-in delay and reverb effects. Add backing tracks from your computer to your live mix and recording. You can record straight to an SD card while mixing your live show at the same time. Tracks are recorded pre-effects and EQ, so you can transfer them to your preferred DAW to mix and edit more. The Zoom LiveTrak L-12 also provides five individual headphone outputs, so creators and musicians can easily save a unique mix that is customised to their preferred sound. The headphone amplifier delivers volume that works in any live environment, without needing a separate headphone monitoring setup.

LiveTrak is also a 14-in/4-out USB audio interface that lets you route inputs and outputs to any DAW. In audio interface mode, you can record up to 48kHz to a computer and SD card simultaneously. It’s class compliant, which enables connection with iOS devices, but an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter is required.

Record automatically by adjusting the audio input commands. You can set the Zoom Livetrak L-12 to start when the master fader detects a certain dB level, or when you use a guitar chord or snare hit. There’s even the option to capture data up to two seconds before recording starts, in case your performance starts early.

Other features include 48V phantom power (channels 1-4 and 5-8), built-in compression control (channels 1-8), RCA and TS line inputs, Hi-Z connectivity (channels 1-2), and the ability to save up to 9 scenes at a time.

Zoom L-12 LiveTrak Digital Mixer

With the LiveTrak L-12, you can finally mix, record, and monitor with a single piece of gear. It’s the only digital console that lets you mix your live performance and record up to 12 discrete channels – all while providing five individual custom headphone mixes.

LiveTrak’s 12 discrete channels (eight mono plus two stereo) have a 3-band mid-parametric EQ and 16 built-in send effects. Its eight mono channels also have a dedicated compressor. With all these controls plus its 12-segment LED metering, the L-12 offers just what you need for intuitive mixing.

LiveTrak lets you record 12 discrete tracks up to 24-bit/96 kHz WAV audio to an SD card while simultaneously mixing your live show. Tracks are recorded pre-EQ and effects, so they can be transferred to your favourite DAW for further mixing and editing.

Each of LiveTrak’s five monitor outputs provides a unique mix, so every performer can create and save a mix that’s tailored to their preferences. Its headphone amplifier delivers volume that stands up in any live environment without the need for a separate headphone monitoring setup.

LiveTrak is also a 14-in/4-out USB audio interface with flexible routing options, offering unlimited possibilities. Class-compliant mode, which enables connection with iOS devices, is also supported.*

*Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter required.

I used the product as an audio interface and am very impressed with the results.

An absolute treat! The preamps, EQ and FX are all REALLY good sounding, the standalone recorder is a really good feature but the 5 separate headphone mixes is what really sets this device apart from its competitors. Recording must feel comfortable and this is exactly what one feels using this. Can't wait to start using it on the rehearsals, jams and live gigs.
