Daw recording not that great good for standalone then mixing later
Well what all it can do is amazing however not the best as for recording with daw the preamps are weak so had to buy a behringer ultragain mic 100 when you listen from the computer speaker via usb the signal bleeds and created done sort of echo feedback distorted sound so have to keep the faders down for sound return from computer which spoils the fun do not get an isolated return sound like a usb interface costing much less so recording in isolation in the unit then mixing in daw would be the right application for podcast not much plugins or effects required so best for that

Another great product from Zoom
The Zoom LiveTrak L-8 has been a great addition to my audio setup. It’s packed with features and the build quality feels solid and professional. One of the best things about it is that you don’t need a computer to mix—everything can be done right on the unit itself. I’ve even run it off a portable battery bank, which makes it perfect for mobile or outdoor setups.
There is a bit of a learning curve, especially if you’re new to mixers or audio gear in general. But if you’ve used this type of equipment before, it’s pretty intuitive once you get going. Overall, it’s a really versatile and well-designed mixer that gives you a ton of value for the price.
Highly recommend it for podcasters, streamers, or anyone needing a flexible, portable audio solution.

Two Mics up from a professional podcast producer
I produce podcasts for a living – at work we have the “looks like a death star super sexy looking” originator of the “podcast recorder” market. I’ve been using that beautiful piece of hardware since not long after it was released. When I need to buy a podcast recorder for my home studio, I choose the Zoom LiveTrak L-8.
1. Audio is great.
2. Mic pre-amps are classic Zoom (and the pads are nice)
3. You can record ONLY the tracks you want to
4. You can see settings “at a glance” (no menu surfing during operation)
5. Getting 2.25 AA batteries recording on 4 channels with dynamic mics
6. Headphones have separate mixes (seriously? so good)
7. Seven mixes (“scenes”) – show presets!
8. You can manage the pads internally.
9. Did I mention you can run it on AA batteries or USB power pack
10. When connected to a computer, it’s a very capable audio interface
11. The audio out from the XLR is very good
12. AA batteries…I mean…record walking down the street (awkward) or front steps (cool)
13. Light
14. Almost $300 cheaper than competitors?!!?
You’ve probably noticed I love it. I do. That said, cons, light means plastic, but it doesn’t feel cheap. That’s about it.

Great value, control and effects
Love this mixer, it has all the features of a pro-level unit (backlighted buttons, effects, presets, recording, different input options) and a battery backup to boot. No issues are 12 months of use.
