  • Live Sound Recording Made Easy
Style: Mixer & Recorder
The main reason I purchased this system is to use it as a backup mixer for live sound events (I run all my channels into a splitter; one set goes to my primary mixer, the other set goes to the Zoom). The device also gives me the ability to multi-track record the events, so this item works perfect for my situation. Here's a host of pros/cons that I've experienced thus far, but overall I'm very happy with the purchase. Amazon shipped the item in an unsealed factory box! It arrived in great condition, but I expected a little more care with the packing/shipping of the item, so that was unusual. The item is lightweight with plastic housing, but it feels like it will hold up (with the proper care). The buttons/faders/knobs do not provide exceptional resistance, but they don't feel super-cheap either. The size of the knobs are also adequate (see photo - notice I put custom labels on my device). The power adapter has a 7' cable - it does seem cheap, but it kinda' "locks" into the L12, which is a cool feature. Relatively speaking, the mixer/recorder is very easy to operate. I purchased a "SanDisk Class 10 - U1 - 128GB SDXC 80MB/s" SD card, which seems to function well, but I haven't tested it to its limits. The pre-amps and built-in effects sound great. It must be noted that with the new firmware update (v.2.0) Zoom has given users access to effects on all the outputs, but there are limits. The effect you choose is "global" so you can only use one effect at a time for the entire system. For example if you want reverb on channel 1 and delay on channel 2, that is NOT an option. If you want to route reverb to the master output, then you can adjust the send efx level for the reverb on each individual channel, but that setting is carried over to all the outputs (ex. A, B, C, D, E). You can control the OVERALL efx return level for each output, but not for each individual track. If you intend to use the recorder for a project where you want to do overdubs and re-takes, then there are some limitations. The device doesn’t have “virtual” tracks (you can’t save tracks in the background) and you can’t “bounce” tracks from one channel to another. My workaround is to keep a computer connected to the L12, and if I want to bounce a track, I restart the device in “Card Reader” mode. Then I access the card with my computer and rename the file to the track I want to “bounce” it to (they are named something logical like “TRACK1, TRACK2” etc.). I can backup tracks by copying them to my computer using the same method, so that’s my workaround for keeping “virtual tracks”. Even with the limitations listed above, this mixer/recorder is great! Setting up my system and recording tracks is a quick process that is very intuitive. I’m very happy with my purchase and I would recommend it for anyone who wants to fulfill similar needs as me. ... show more

  • Power Supply Missing (no more - Zoom came through with a power supply)
Style: Mixer & Recorder
This may be a great piece of gear. I don’t have a way of knowing, though, as Zoom did not include the power supply for the unit. I received the box that the power supply came in, but no power supply. This is my first 0 star review. Boo, Zoom. 10/8/17 - revised review. I finally got the power supply from Zoom. I plugged in an SM-58 on channel 1, and an SM-81 on track two, using phantom power. A quick sound test, singing and playing an acoustic guitar, here are my impressions. 1) It’s extremely simple to set up and start recording. Be sure to have a useable SD card, though - the Zoom did not come with one. 2) The pre-amps are very clean. Not as crystal clear as my Apollo Twin, but I didn’t expect them to be. They seem to be especially picky about mic placement and recording volume, but once dialed in, the recordings are clean and clear. 3) Monitoring, either by headphone or speaker, is a cinch, and creating monitor mixes is not too complicated 4) The built-in compression works well 5) The monitor screen is pretty small and hard to see 6) Zoom’s customer support is superb 7) You can download the full manual on the Zoom site. The included pamphlet, though, has more than enough info to get you started. Bottom line: This is an extremely versatile, compact, no-frills board that is easy to get started with, and sounds great. My guess is that these units will fly off the shelves. Perfect for small gigs, home and studio recording. ... show more

  • Significant issue- Update
Style: Mixer & Recorder
Please see the update below. I do want to preserve the actual events and issue. Original review: To start with I want to say I have been a Zoom fan for many years. I own an H2n, H4N, G3x and have given gifts of the H2n and recommended them for school programs. I have been recording music for many years now and have tried many different interfaces. I have now been through 3 of these units. All of them have had significant bleed of input between channels 5/6 and 7/8. This means that line level signal input to channels 5 or 6 will bleed through and register on 7 *and* 8. This happens from 7/8 to 5/6 as well. I have called Zoom 4 times and not once has my call been returned. They keep saying they are waiting on more information from their engineers in Japan to confirm the issue. Multiple times I offered to send my unit to them for testing and that was refused. Today I called back and they said they had just gotten information today from their engineers that they had a unit where they could reproduce the problem. This process has been going on over a month. I am now out of my return window and sitting waiting for a call back when they get any new information. They didn't come right out and say it in the phone call today but I expect that this is a manufacturing defect and will be present in all units. I strongly recommend staying away from this and looking elsewhere. Perhaps the R24 or PreSonus StudioLive* (I have changed this due to some new information that has come to light, man) UPDATE: Someone at Zoom got wind of the troubles I am having. Since then they have been extraordinarily helpful and responsive. The issue appears to be something related to using unbalanced inputs. The bleed problem only occurs on channels 5-8 if you use unbalanced 1/4" TS cables for inputs. If you use either 3 pin or 1/4" TRS inputs there will be no bleed. The recordings are clean and clear. The unit is extremely easy to use, and has well thought out in layout. At this stage I am willing to say that if you are OK with only using balanced ins on channels 5-8, this is worth the money any day. If you feel squeamish, the R24 is your next best bet. Also, this rating is for the product itself. The company remains one that I believe in and would still highly recommend. ... show more
