  • 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

  • Right on my sweetspot, what I needed!
Style: Mixer & Recorder
Excelent product! Very versatile. Only two drawbacks. 1. The effects settings apply to all channels. You cannot apply different effects to different channels. 2. There is no effects send-return on it. But besides that two downsides, it is a portable mixing and recording studio with the right features for live gig and home recording. Big plus: 1. The 5 separate mixes outputs, that I been using for monitoring to in-ear and monitor speakers. 2. Saving all different presets for mixing and recording. Called scenes. Let's me have a preconfigured for full band, acoustic and track based gigs. 3. Small makes it easy to transport and sturdy plastic. No metal in case you have a rough on the road music presentations you may need something tougher. 4. Fully digital, this improved a lot the feedback resilience, and most of band members praise no feedbacks at all in my work on live gigs. 5. From all the effects and settings only compression affects recording. What you record is what comes to the preamp. The recording is saved to SD card. Our you may record with a DAW via interface (or both). Note that max quality up to 96 Khz mono only. 44 and 48 kHz are stereo on stereo channels I heard some pro grade recordings made with this device so do not underestimate what can be done with it. I am a newbie sound engineer who in daytime is a systems administrator. I needed something that have quick good results and low learning curve. Approaching from my digital side, now learning more may go for a bigger analog one where I may need to struggle more with feedback and granular configs. So far so good! ... show more
