Are you using a cloudlifter on the sm7b or does this provide enough gain? Thanks!

[gadgetspod]

Can we upload a 2 minute background music file? What format audio file we can upload?

[sceadugenga]

Is there a list somewhere of all 13 sound pad presets?

[cesarnavarro]

thank you for the video. Can I ask question? When I had uploaded a wav to the soundpads, the music speed was slow. Any ideas?

[عبدالجاكولالصلصالاني]

do you need a mic lifter / fethead / preamp with shure sm7b on zoom L-8? and what headphones that zoom l8 can drive?

Am I reading the manual correctly? It appears that only 3 of the sound pads may be used if a phone is connected to track 8. It would have been great to be able to use all of them on one channel. Also would have been nice if the sounds programmed to the pads would be saved in the scene settings. That way, each "show" can have it's own pre-programmed content.

Is there any possibility that this Will work with wasapi and Windows? Cause the L12 doesn't work in OBS. This Is marketed as a broadcaster ready mixer, but if It doesn't work with OBS without ASIO...

No compression effect. Have to pay more than twice as much to get such a basic effect?

[de_krocky]

My soundpad buttons are very hard to press harder than the sel or mute buttons.. is that normal?

[JorgeEscobarMX]

Amazing job, this is how tutorials should be made. Short.

[KevinMarlow_uk]

How do we stop a long duration pad? Manual says press SEL 4 times, but this is not reliable for me.
Edit - so you have to press SEL button 4 times very quickly. Not ideal when running a live podcast but at least possible.
I wish there was a way to queue up pages of sound files for the pad buttons, so you could move between sets of 6 at a time.

I just got the L8 and my sound pads only light up 1-4 ... how do I find the pre-loaded sound

[sideyardproductions]

I uploaded audio drops to the sound pads but why are the voice tracks I added slowed down?

[gigeconomypodcast]

Out of the box the sound pads are not working for me. They light up and blink when I push them but I can't hear the sound in my headphones.

[priyonjoni]

Hope there’s an L-10 one day with a multitrack recording capability like the L-12. I love the L-12 but it’s just too big for my needs.

[TheRycooder]

Can this be used for your DAW this you can record on it??

[MrAndyClark]

How do I add new sounds to the pads from my computer?

[dondaniel]

Why not show us in the video how to fond the presets in the menu?

[robfriedrich]

This feature could be interesting, when a musician uses some backings..

[serenitybase]

useless. you didnt show how to add or delete to the sound pad.
