ZoomLiveTrak L-8 8-Channel Mixer

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The LiveTrak L-8 combines an eight-channel mixer with multitrack SD recording and a USB audio interface for podcast, music, and small-ensemble work. Six mic/line inputs use preamps with 48V phantom power; two inputs also accept hi-Z sources. Record up to 12 tracks plus a stereo mix at 96 kHz/24-bit, then monitor through four headphone outputs with three separate monitor mixes. Per-channel three-band EQ, reverb/delay effects, sound pads, mix-minus, and seven scene memories support a self-contained production workflow.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording a podcast with remote guests or call-ins using sound pads and mix-minus.
- Tracking a small ensemble to SD while giving performers three separate monitor mixes.
- Recording away from mains using AA batteries or a USB power bank.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Sessions that require more than six microphone preamps.
