Zoom LiveTrak L-12

Digital Mixer/Recorder

The Zoom LiveTrak L-12 is the only digital mixer that lets you mix live performances and record up to 12 discrete channels, all while providing five individual custom headphone mixes. Plus, it’s got the quietest and most advanced preamps Zoom has ever created.

Whether you’re a musician, podcaster, or member of a band, the power to mix, monitor, and record is now at your fingertips. For creators like you who do everything, this is the one board that does it all.

  • 12 discrete channels (8 mono plus 2 stereo) with XLR or 1/4-inch connectivity
  • 14-track simultaneous recording, 12-track playback
  • 14-in/4-out USB audio interface connectivity
  • 5 powered headphone outputs, each with a customizable mix
  • Record to an SD card and computer simultaneously
  • Scene saving function, up to 9 scenes saved at a time
  • 16 built-in delay and reverb effects with adjustable parameters
  • Automatic recording starting/stopping capability

Features

Effortless Live Mixer

Its 12 discrete channels (eight mono plus two stereo) have 3-band mid-parametric EQ, and 16 built-in send effects. The L-12’s eight mono channels also have a dedicated compressor. You can also route backing tracks from a computer into your live mix using Audio Interface mode.

Record Everything, Remix Anywhere

Record 12 tracks up to 24-bit/96 kHz WAV audio to an SD card (up to 512 GB) while simultaneously mixing your live show. You can mix and overdub your finished project, or transfer the discrete tracks to your favorite DAW for further mixing and editing.

Five Custom Monitor Mixes

The L-12 has five powered monitor mix outputs that each provide an individual mix, allowing every performer a mix that’s tailored to their preferences. Since the L-12 can drive headphones or in-ear monitors, there’s no need for a separate headphone monitoring setup.

USB Connectivity for Your DAW

As a 14-in/4-out USB audio interface, the L-12 offers limitless creative possibilities. Route signal from each input and the master fader output to any DAW at sample rates up to 48 kHz. You can even route signal from your DAW back into the L-12 on tracks 9/10 or 11/12, allowing you to easily add click or backing tracks to the main mix or monitor mixes.

Advanced Onboard Effects

There are 16 built-in effects, all with fully adjustable parameters. Choose from delay and reverb effects and send them to any channel.

Custom Scene Settings

Nine different scenes can save and recall custom mix settings automatically. Each scene saves fader position, EQ settings, pan, mute, and more. The “Fader Mode” buttons display and adjust mix output from the Master Out as well as Monitor Outs A through E.

Live Sound Recording Made Easy

Live Sound Recording Made Easy
The main reason I purchased this system is to use it as a backup mixer for live sound events (I run all my channels into a splitter; one set goes to my primary mixer, the other set goes to the Zoom). The device also gives me the ability to multi-track record the events, so this item works perfect for my situation. Here's a host of pros/cons that I've experienced thus far, but overall I'm very happy with the purchase.Amazon shipped the item in an unsealed factory box! It arrived in great condition, but I expected a little more care with the packing/shipping of the item, so that was unusual. The item is lightweight with plastic housing, but it feels like it will hold up (with the proper care). The buttons/faders/knobs do not provide exceptional resistance, but they don't feel super-cheap either. The size of the knobs are also adequate (see photo - notice I put custom labels on my device). The power adapter has a 7' cable - it does seem cheap, but it kinda' "locks" into the L12, which is a cool feature.Relatively speaking, the mixer/recorder is very easy to operate. I purchased a "SanDisk Class 10 - U1 - 128GB SDXC 80MB/s" SD card, which seems to function well, but I haven't tested it to its limits. The pre-amps and built-in effects sound great. It must be noted that with the new firmware update (v.2.0) Zoom has given users access to effects on all the outputs, but there are limits. The effect you choose is "global" so you can only use one effect at a time for the entire system. For example if you want reverb on channel 1 and delay on channel 2, that is NOT an option. If you want to route reverb to the master output, then you can adjust the send efx level for the reverb on each individual channel, but that setting is carried over to all the outputs (ex. A, B, C, D, E). You can control the OVERALL efx return level for each output, but not for each individual track.If you intend to use the recorder for a project where you want to do overdubs and re-takes, then there are some limitations. The device doesn’t have “virtual” tracks (you can’t save tracks in the background) and you can’t “bounce” tracks from one channel to another. My workaround is to keep a computer connected to the L12, and if I want to bounce a track, I restart the device in “Card Reader” mode. Then I access the card with my computer and rename the file to the track I want to “bounce” it to (they are named something logical like “TRACK1, TRACK2” etc.). I can backup tracks by copying them to my computer using the same method, so that’s my workaround for keeping “virtual tracks”.Even with the limitations listed above, this mixer/recorder is great! Setting up my system and recording tracks is a quick process that is very intuitive. I’m very happy with my purchase and I would recommend it for anyone who wants to fulfill similar needs as me.
