Not what I hoped for

The good: It did something very few other devices offer right now, at this price level. The bad: it’s driver crashed my machine, badly. It’s audio port mapping to the computer was confusing, and I ultimately had to use another piece of software to make sense of it.

Loving it, no issues

Iv had a the zoom l8 for a month and it does just as advertised! No issues with it at all, currently using it in my livestream setup. Plan on using for the podcast I’m starting as well. I’m sure it will be up to that task. Originally wanted the Rodecaster pro with it not being in stock and me not wanting to wait I picked the Zoom L8 definitely a nice alternative.

Amazing sound quality! I am impressed Thank you LiveTrak, outstanding product!

I have used the Peavey Unity Series mixers for the last 20+ years for video production primarily because they produce very little line noise. So I was a little apprehensive switching brands when it was time for an upgrade. WOW... not only does the L-8 LiveTrak produce almost no line noise whatsoever, but the sound quality is rich and full. These guys really did their homework when they designed this one. The SD recording feature decreased my workflow and increased my productivity.

Just Amazing!

We've been using a ZOOM H4N for our podcasting, but have quickly grown into needed more inputs and more control. We have recorded two podcasts with the L-8 and loving it! It's a beast of a board in such a small package.

Because creators are constantly evolving, the Zoom LiveTrak L-8 Portable 8-Channel Digital Mixer and Multitrack Recorder is designed to meet their dynamic needs. This versatile device simplifies the process of mixing, monitoring, and recording professional-quality podcasts and music performances, all in a compact and affordable package.

Power to the Podcast

Podcast creators demand a unique set of audio features and the flexibility of a professional mixing console. The LiveTrak L-8 merges Zoom's renowned audio performance with podcast-specific features. With six easily-assignable Sound Pads, you can effortlessly play intros, outros, jingles, ads, and sound effects at the touch of a button.

Seamless Remote Interviews

Conducting remote interviews is straightforward with the L-8. Connect your phone using the included TRRS cable, and the Mix-Minus function will automatically eliminate echo and feedback. Alternatively, use the USB connection to integrate audio from platforms like Skype, Facetime, Hangouts, and Slack.

Exceptional Audio Clarity

Zoom's preamps are celebrated for their transparency, power, and reliability. The L-8 includes six independent preamps, capable of capturing everything from a whisper to a lively debate. With four headphone outputs, each participant can clearly hear the conversation, ensuring seamless communication.

Flexible Multitrack Recording

Professionals understand the importance of recording each participant on a separate track for superior sound quality and editing flexibility. The L-8 records individual tracks directly to an SD card, allowing for detailed post-production editing. Additionally, it can function as an audio interface, recording full episodes to your computer and SD card simultaneously, and even supports live streaming.

Portable and Convenient

The Zoom LiveTrak L-8 offers up to 2.5 hours of operation on just four AA batteries or can be powered via a USB battery, making it perfect for on-the-go podcasting. Save time by storing up to seven show "scenes" that can be instantly recalled with the press of a button.

Despite its compact size, it delivers big sound with six high-performance preamps featuring phantom power, a low noise floor (-121dBU EIN), and a maximum input gain of +54dB. It also includes two Hi-Z, line-level, and USB inputs, with EQ and onboard effects for fine-tuning each channel.

True Multi-Track Recording

Record up to 10 discrete tracks plus a stereo mix directly to an SD card at resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz. Easily punch-in and overdub, then transfer your work to your preferred DAW for further refinement. Note that effects, EQ, overdub, and audio interface features are not available at 96 kHz.

Custom Monitor Mixes
