A major evolution of the benchmark LiveTrak

The LiveTrak L12next retains the spirit and ease of use that made the series so successful, while going further to meet current needs: quieter preamps, DAW integration, streaming, and monitor output management designed for real-world situations (bands, live performances, podcasts, concerts).

A fast, clear, and enjoyable workflow

Each channel puts the essentials at your fingertips: adjusting gain, shaping EQ, applying compression, and sending to monitors and effects are all done without interrupting your flow. The 60mm faders provide comfortable volume control, and the OLED display helps keep your session clear, even when switching between mixing, recording, and overdubs.

Mixing, recording, streaming: all in one place

Whether you're mixing a live performance, recording a band, practicing with headphones, or producing a podcast, the L12next centralizes:

Master mix + custom returns

Multitrack recording (clean sessions, easy retakes)

USB streaming/broadcasting, with reliable and quick setup

Overdub mode and Auto Punch In/Out make layering and corrections feel natural: ideal for building a track layer by layer, without interrupting the flow.
