Review Summary

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.

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.

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.

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.

After recognizing the evolving needs of creators, the Zoom LiveTrak L-8 Portable 8-Channel Digital Mixer and Multitrack Recorder offers an all-in-one solution for mixing, monitoring, and recording high-quality podcasts and music performances. This portable and affordable package is designed to meet the demands of modern content creators, particularly podcasters, with its specialized audio features and flexible mixing capabilities.
Podcasting Powerhouse
The Zoom LiveTrak L-8 is engineered for podcast creators who require a unique set of audio tools. With six easily-assignable Sound Pads, you can effortlessly play intros, outros, jingles, ads, and sound effects at the touch of a button, enhancing the auditory experience for your audience. Conducting remote interviews is seamless with the L-8's Mix-Minus function, which prevents echo and feedback when connecting a phone via the included TRRS cable. Additionally, the USB connection supports audio routing from platforms like Skype, Facetime, Hangouts, and Slack.
Superior Audio Performance
Renowned for their transparency and reliability, Zoom's preamps are a standout feature of the L-8. The mixer includes six independent preamps capable of capturing everything from subtle whispers to dynamic debates. With four headphone outputs, each participant can clearly hear the ongoing conversation, ensuring effective communication.
Versatile Recording Options
The L-8 records individual tracks directly to an SD card, providing flexibility for post-production editing. It can also function as an audio interface, allowing simultaneous recording to your computer and SD card, and supports live streaming. The device is class compliant, making it compatible with iOS devices via an Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.
Portable and Efficient
Designed for mobility, the Zoom LiveTrak L-8 can operate for up to 2.5 hours on four AA batteries or via a USB battery, enabling you to podcast from virtually anywhere. Save up to seven show "scenes" for quick recall, streamlining your workflow and saving valuable time.
Ideal for Musicians
Perfect for singer-songwriters and small bands, the L-8 delivers big sound in a compact form. It features six high-performance preamps with phantom power, a low noise floor of -121dBU EIN, and a maximum input gain of +54dB. The mixer includes two Hi-Z, line-level, and USB inputs, with EQ and onboard effects for channel fine-tuning.
True Multi-Track Recording
Capture up to 10 discrete tracks plus a stereo mix directly to an SD card at resolutions up to 24-bit/96 kHz. The L-8 supports punch-in and overdub, allowing you to refine your recordings before transferring them to your preferred DAW for further enhancement. Note that effects, EQ, overdub, and audio interface functions are not available at 96 kHz.
Custom Monitor Mixes
With three custom monitor mixes, the L-8 ensures you hear exactly what you need, no matter your position on stage. Its unique USB connection design prevents accidental disconnections, providing peace of mind during performances.
High-Quality Audio Interface
As a 12-in/4-out audio interface, the L-8 allows direct tracking into your favorite DAW or the use of USB return for running backing tracks from your computer. Its class compliance ensures seamless integration with iOS devices, enhancing its versatility for creators on the go.
