Zoom - LiveTrak L-8 Podcast Digital Mixer/Recorder - Black

Great for my home studio and pod cast. So far so good.

I’ve had this device for over a year now and still works great, love the compact form factor, and the all in one feel to start off audio and video recordings.

Definitely a great product. I had never used anything like this before and it was fairly easy to navigate.

I own a Rodecaster so i wanted to try this one out so i purchased this Zoom, i own a 2 channel zoom recorder and love it. So about this, i will say I LOVE IT once i figured it out. CONS: It isn't as user friendly, took me a second to understand how to operate it. No BlueTooth for phone, only AUX which means i had to buy an adapter for my Samsung Note 10+ button bar only works with WAV files so I had to convert (good thing is, WAV are better quality) headphone playback gotta click mixer to make it work right button bar wasn't working because I plugged aux and no sound was coming out even though I took it out, I ended up plugging aux back in to test the channel and it took a second and then worked. when I switch it to button bar it worked again. Pros So many channels for XLR and Quarter Inch button bar menu lets you decide how you play the button. Effects for live sound powers on when plugged into laptop + records right into Audacity records channels separately if you want. Many GREAT AND AMAZING FEATURES! Price is great! Lightweight & powerful overall, i love it and recommend it.

really good console, the portability is great! the only downfall of this is that you either have the phantom power on or off, you cant have that functionality on a per channel base. other than that is really good, the menu is easy to follow and the set up with a computer to use with audition is really simple.

Great product for anyone wanting to add just that little bit extra control over what you're recording. Love that it will operate on battery power as well as using a wall outlet. Ideal for someone recording a podcast who needs to be in an area not close to mains power etc. I looked at other options including comparison video's on YouTube and found that this would fit the bill for me without breaking the bank. I would encourage you to do the same because they give pro's and cons depending on how you want to use a mixer. Some may prefer a bespoke podcast only usage but I wanted flexibility. Easy to set up but will take a bit of experimenting to know what you can do and how you do it (unless you're beyond beginner status).

n/a, I expected more than, but well, Let's see if later my mind change.

I didn't know anything about audio mixers but it didn't take long to learn how this works. Solid board and apparently is the best for its price range.
