We have two Tascam 12's that we use like Swiss Army knives at work; they are well built and do a little bit of everything really well,but when it came to my personal studio needs,it was the L8 that fit my needs perfectly. I wanted a stand-alone recorder that allowed me to record studio grade basic tracks of wav files for transfer to Studio One,which the L8 does well,yet it also allows me to duplicate those tracks in S1 in real-time if I choose. I designate Ch 1 and 2 for guitar and bass, run the line outs from my Antelope Audio Synergy Discrete 4 preamps (with effects!) to Ch 3-6 for vocals and such,while using Ch 7-8 for groove box/loops in stereo. It all just works! The L8 and a pair of 3" Presonus w Bluetooth make for a great portable unit. I used it and a pair of cans plus a quality condenser mic on location to record audio for a video and it was smooth sailing.The L8 isn't as robustly built as a Tascam 12 but it's a great second choice for those on a budget.

zZounds has been WONDERFUL thought this process. I purchased the mixer through ZZounds. When it arrived, it was missing the plastic slider piece from the first fader. zZounds replaced it for me immediately.Unfortunately, the replacement unit is defective. The signal on the TRRS connector line is very noisy and tech support at Zoom had no answers for me. Then, the main bus through which the computer connects via USB apparently has a short, as the pot either cuts out sporadically or gets really noisy. Both happen at random times and make the mixer unusable. Zoom would not work with me on the issue. They'd allow me to return it and then would send a replacement, leaving me without a mixer for over a week. I host a daily radio show, so that wasn't an option. Thankfully zZounds, again, will put a replacement unit on my credit card and hold it until the original is returned, then void the charge-- same thing they did last time. So to be clear, my negative review is for ZOOM and their LiveTrak L8. I should've just paid the extra $200 and gotten the Rodecaster Pro!
