Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this have a built in metronome? can you quantize the audio as well to tighten up the tracks?

A: Yes to the metronome. The Livetrak records audio, not MIDI data, so you cannot quantize an audio waveform (that I know of) The unit is simply amazing and I use it to record podcasts on location as well as recording bands. The trick is to make sure your input levels are steady at 3/4 of the meter (VUFS) and do the final mixing in your DAW.

Q: 2. Can you select individual lines to get phantom power so you can use dynamic and condenser mics at the same time?

A: Phantom power is either, all on or all off, to all channels.

Q: 3. When using ZOOM L-8 as an audio interface: can I record (in my computer) each input as a separate channel?

A: Yes. Each channel shows up in your audio software as inputs for a total of 12 (1-6 Mono, 7-8 Stereo, 9-10 Stereo & Main Mix). It also has 4 USB outputs for playback. I use mine with Logic Pro X to track instruments & vocals on the go since the board is USB bus powered.. NOTE: You will have to download drivers for Windows and MacOS.

Q: 4. Does this have a built-in per-line limiter or compressor?

A: That is a mistake on Zoom's part. 4 Mic Inputs, each with dedicated compression, would have been preferable the 6 without, at this price point. Any time a human voice (speaking or singing) gets in front of a microphone, it's a good idea to have a dynamics "babysitter" in the signal path.

Q: 5. Does it have Bluetooth connectivity?

A: There is no Bluetooth connectivity on this unit, but if you are looking to connect a smartphone for call-in's, you can do so with the included 3.5mm TRRS cable. Simply connect this cable from your smartphone into the 3.5mm channel 7/8 input, and the Zoom LiveTrak L8 will put the caller in the mix and create a mix-minus back to the caller.

Q: 6. Can the L20 be powered using a V-mount battery (nom 14.4 VDC). What is the acceptable supply voltage range?

A: The Zoom LiveTrak L-20 comes with a Power Adapter, it is not compatible with battery power.

Q: 7. Does this have the same incompatibility issue with AMD processors as the L-12?

A: As stated in the specifications section of the L-12 page on our website, operation is not guaranteed with CPUs from Atom, Celeron or Pentium series or CPUs made by AMD.

Q: 8. Can you record isolated tracks on the SD card? Or only via USB on your computer?

A: You can record the isolated tracks directly to an SD card, to a computer, or both simultaneously.

Q: 9. Using this as an audio interface with StreamYard and Skype... guests hear an echo on theor end, but don't hear one from me. I don't hear the echo live, but do in recording. Any ideas? Using a MacBook Pro. Mic plugged into Input 1. Computer plugged into Input 7 (USB 1-2).

A: You will not be able to easily configure a mix minus to send via USB.

Q: 10. Can you record to both the SD Card and the computer at the same time?
