With the Zoom LiveTrak L-12 you can record up to 12 individual channels, create custom headphone mixes for up to five band members, and craft a polished live mix complete with studio-quality effects. You can complete your entire project on the L-12 or transfer all 12 discrete tracks to your DAW for editing and mixing. The LiveTrak L-12 also functions admirably as a 14-in/4-out USB audio interface for your Mac, PC, or iOS device.
😔
Any MIDI in & output?
Does studio one recognise the audio interface and can all the channel be routed separately to the DAW.
I’ve seen it used in Ableton.
Is it as user friendly being used in studio one?
You help will be very much appreciated.
No phantom power? Dropped the ball there.
I have a Zoom R8 And I am looking to upgrade to the zoom L20R. I’m currently using my zoom are eight as a backing track machine for my band does the zoom L 20 or have the same functions as the zoom r8 where are you can send The metronome click track separately than the left and right out?
I already instal driver..cannot working…anyone can fix it..im using windows
Can you have two different effects on one channel? Is this possible? Like delay and reverb?
Does this mixer power speakers?
Im some what frustrated because I followed the instructions on hooking up my monitors and my daw and I cant get any sound out of he headsets or the monitors i hooked my PC to the usb and nothing.
He says about recording 14 channels, when just using it as an interface and not using the built in recorder does that mean you can only record stereo?
Advice please. Can I connect my laptop with all my pro karaoke CDG Or MP4 tracks and record myself at home.Also if this is possible is there away of seeing the graphics (lyrics) at the same time.Maybe if I use a seperate tv screen or pc monitor ect If this is not suitable has anybody found away of doing this yet ? Thanks in advance for your time
Question from a stoned and confused newb. will this allow me to record 12 tracks tracks simultaneously ? Like can I record 12 instruments on 12 different channels?
i dont understand anything he just said ?
This thing is only 4 out into the daw, not 14
Want this … Have seen it for a time and now it is time for me to by me a Livetrack 12 🙂
Some cool Portastudios are coming out. This looks like a cheaper version of the Model 24. Tascam seems to have led these things forever
Hello ! Can I get a clear anwer : With my multitrack recorder I can record my 1st track then I record the 2nd track while listening to the the 1st one then recording the 3rd one while listening to the others and so on. .Then I can for example re-record one of the tracks and when finihed I make the mastering and save it to a SD Card with Wave format. Does this machine can do that ? Thank you by advance for a straight and clear answer. Take care
Is there INSERT for outboard gear?
Thanks!
i am buying one of those in the near future i love it
Can you Record on to the SD card while simultaneously using the devise as an Interface?
I have been in and out of studios since the 1980’s, stuff is getting cheaper and easier to use. You no longer need to break the bank to get quality recording gear. Great stuff from Zoom.
Why no android support?
When mixing vocals into daw, Can you be able to use zoom l12 effects and eq?
Can this be used to Live Stream a band through Zoom?
Hi I own the Zoom L-12 and it’s great. Can you tell me how I’d connect a powered wedge monitor rather than in ear monitors? Would I connect it to the Monitor Out A Jacks (the L and R outputs, to the left of the Monitor Out Phone Jacks)? Or can it be connected to the Monitor Out Phone Jacks? Are the Monitor Out Phone Jacks balanced or unbalanced, and what about the Monitor Out A Jacks? Thanks.
is this device able to "punch in" at any point of a song and edit, without throwing off the tempo?
Man, I love a good, professional presentation.
Amazing work from Zoom Team. Really wished the L12 & L20 were motorized fader especially when you save & recall different Mixes for headphones. We’re 2019 almost 2020. Hope ZOOM is listening, bring one Motorized ASAP. Great unit 😉 We’re renting and selling these as hotcakes at Long&McQuade 😉
Wpw that’s a speed speedy tutorial …. Of so many features …. In secs .. .wish i was flash to hear everything in slow motion ..
at better at 0.75 speed… LOL
Does it output to the USB and Analog Stereo outs at the same time or do you have to choose?
is it a problem if I connect guitar, dynamic and condenser microphone at the same time, while the phantom power is on?
If you connect a stereo synth to two mono inputs (because the stereo inputs were already full with some instrument or with the usb return), is it possible to select two channels simultaneously to apply exactly the same EQ to both left an right channel? The older R24 model has a stereo link functionality that basically allowed the mono inputs 1 and 2 to became stereo inputs 1/2 (the same applies to the other channels) but I can’t find any information regarding that for the Livetrak L-12 or L-20..
guys like this always have weird long creepy finger nails. As soon as I saw him I thought ‘ahhhh yes, classic bloke for this kinda job’
I have been trying to find a mixer the would also allow to record the channels separately in Ableton. ( in case I make a big mixing mistake 😋 ) I found the Soundcraft singnature 12 MTK. But later I read that the EQ and effects are not part of the recording in Ableton, because those happen after sending the audio trough the interface.
Are there any other options to solve this? Maybe a separate mixer and separate multi channel interface?
Would I still be wondering about routing issues if I buy the Zoom Livetrak L-12?
So.. can I record my vocals and guitar and then playback the recording to tweak everything for a live setup/sound check using pre recorded guitar and vocals?
damm dude cut your nails lol
Mitch is hands down the best host in the gear field on the internet. A calm demeanor, clear presentation, well spoken, polite, professional… Simply a magnifiscient man. Thank you for doing what you do. 👍
I love this guy and his videos , very straight forward and easy to understand, good work from uk
Does this purchase come with DAW software of some kind? Anyone think Audacity would be ok to use?
Hi !..
O am using a Zoom R 16 and the advantage is the battety compartment that allows us to use the recorder without eletric source.
With only 6 batteries wr can Record for 6 hours.
Can the L-12 work without eletric source too?…
Is there 30 channel for the live track?
I had a BR1200 and it died after 10 years. Been trying to replace it and dont want to go full PC..
How does this compare to the BR1200
Could someone please point me in the right direction of finding out if this board can use multiple effects on the same mix. I find I can only use 1 effect at a time throughout the board.
"Does it have an FX Loop? In order words can an external effects processor be connected to it?"
is there a usbC version coming out soon?
Can this be remote controlled ? Like have the mixer on stage but control it from out in the audience using a lappy or tablet? I have seen other mixers that do that, but can’t multitrack record, that would be the dealbreaker thanks.
Can you use the faders and knobs, to control the faders and knobs, in your daw, like Cubase, logic, studio one, abelton live etc?
How many effects can you use at once per channel?
