I just got myself a Livetrak L-12 last week. So far it’s been pure love at first sight. I also bought the RKL-12 rack mount kit and have it installed in my rack.
There’s been a couple of weird glitches with the audio interface side (The computer does not always recognize the Livetrak without a reboot. Once the sound coming from the USB-in had this weird digital distortion and when I turned the Zoom off and back on, the computer once again lost the interface and had to be rebooted to find it again.) I googled but couldn’t find anything regarding that type of behaviour.
Otherwise it’s a beautiful piece of kit. I was able to sell one mixer, one audio interface and one headphone amp after getting this one, so it basically paid for itself.
My main outs go to my studio monitors and I’m thinking of rigging one of the headphone outs or the monitor out to the inputs of my MPC live, so I could pick what to sample by the monitor mix. I see no reason why they wouldn’t work as fx sends too. It helps to have an insert cable (one 6,3mm TRS into a pair of 6,3mm TS:s.) around. The amount of inputs is quite limited to waste on fx returns but that’s the way it goes. I’m thinking of getting a patchbay to minimize the cord swapping.
