Big Beautiful Interface

Although the LiveTrak L-20 is designed to work as a stand-alone recording and mixing console, it can also be used as a 22-in/4-out USB audio interface. Audio Interface mode lets you route inputs to any DAW or streaming software, even while recording to an SD card. Additionally, audio can be routed from your computer into the L-20 to be mixed with your live performance. Class compliant mode, which enables connection with iOS devices, is supported as well.


Wireless Mixing

The LiveTrak L-20 offers wireless control via a free iOS mobile app "L-20 Control" featuring most onboard functions, including Fader Levels and Modes, Scenes, EQ, EFX sends, returns, parameters, and more. You can even manage your Effects Library and Scene Library right from your device. Control it all on either large Monitor Out view with a mini transport, or a mini Monitor Out view with expanded Transport controls.

(A) Channel Strip
All 20 inputs include a channel fader as well as dedicated mute and solo buttons. The 16 mono inputs include single-knob compression and gain control. Record or playback individual channels with the "Rec/Play" button.

(B) EQ Control
The L-20 provides a smooth 3-band mid-parametric EQ and a variable frequency low-cut for each channel. Use the "Select" button to apply Channel Strip settings to the selected channel.

(C) 2 EFX Sends
The L-20 offers 20 built-in effects with adjustable parameters. Choose from delay and reverb effects, then apply them to any channel using two dedicated EFX busses.

(D) Broad Connectivity
The L-20’s combo inputs support XLR or ¼" connections. Channels 1-2 offer Hi-Z inputs for electric guitar or bass. Channels 17/18 & 19/20 have TS line connectivity for keyboards and other audio devices, as well as RCA inputs.

(E) Navigation and Display
The LiveTrak L-20’s bright, backlit LCD screen and encoder knob let you access an intuitive menu to create new projects, recall previous projects, and customize your recorder settings.

(F) Slate Mic and Metronome
Use the built-in slate mic to record comments or talk-back. Push the tempo button to program the metronome to your desired tempo.

(G) Transport Controls and Overdub Button
Transport controls include Record, Play/Pause, Stop, Fast Forward, and Rewind. The overdub button allows you to record additional tracks to your current project.
