Zoom L12 Mixer Review

Zoom l12 mixer review. And when you turn off the zoom l 12 your settings are written to the sd card so that next time you turn it back on you begin where you left off. Zoom l 12 lets you record stream at the same time. Other mixers i ve reviewed do not include a switch and must be unplugged in order to power off. For the price point of this mixer this is a huge advantage and for me it s the biggest selling point.
Boasting some of zoom s cleanest preamp stages to date the mixer itself not only drives speakers but doubles as a daw interface as well as being ready willing and able to store your jams on board when the groove. Add to it that you can record multi track on board without the need for a computer and you have the ultimate board for live. Without too much reading of manual we played a 3 hr gig at a local venue. With the livetrak l 12 you can finally mix record and monitor with a single piece of gear.
I found it to be more than user friendly. Realistically zoom have taken their flagship handheld recorder the h4 and expanded it to include just about every morsel of functionality ever wished for in rehearsal situ. 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. Zoom are a company who put a lot of thought into understanding the needs of musicians and this is very apparent in their livetrak l 12.
An innovative combination of usb audio interface digital mixer and multitrack recorder the l 12 is a very effective option for bands who want a single device to handle small scale live sound duties tracking sessions and computer mixing. I was fortunate enough to review the l 12 in sos april 2018 and came away highly impressed. Then got fancy with behringer xr18 which is awesome but not user friendly when performing and running sound at same time. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users.
Last night i used my new zoom livetrk l 12 digital mixer for the first time. We re taking a look at the zoom livetrak l 12 a new 12 channel digital mixer and multitrack recorder. As a live mixer it is great. On the back of the l 12 you have an on off switch which is not a trivial addition.
