The cat is out of the bag. ZOOM announced this week a new affordable interface that enables audio mixing and recording in one single device. The new ZOOM LiveTrack is not only a 12 channel audio mixer but also a complete audio interface. It features 12 discrete channels (8 mono & 2 stereo) with XLR or 1/4 -inch connectivity. To refine the sounds, it comes with 16 built-in delay and reverb effects with adjustable parameters.
At one feature point, the Japanese developers has continued to think in terms of development than other companies. Unlike other audio interfaces, the LiveTrak L-12 can also record your mixed tracks directly on a SD card. That’s especially a great feature if you want to work without a DAW or simply record your concerts. I’m pretty sure that ZOOM will sell this device a lot because you get a lot of great features for an affordable price. I’m a long term user of ZOOM products and I’m pretty sure the audio and build quality will be great.
