Thanks Alan. The l-20 manual sucks... doesn't detail levels very well at all...gonna try to record something with the initial tracks higher on the meters and see if the volume drops when I mix it down.
Thanks for the tip. Normally with my other zoom recorders, the file from the SD card is loud and the waveform big when I take it into cubase...I must be missing something regarding the mixdown to stereo master on the zoom...
The led indicators are for left and right channels but there are two different meter scales printed on either side of the LEDs. Unity is halfway on the left scale, at the very top on the right. Only the guitars were panned slightly left and right everything else centerd...When I mixed down and...
I was setting the fader to unity based on the left side scale during mixdown, however when I tried to go by the right hand scale and push the fader all the way up the meters started clipping...
So I ended up loading all the individual wave file tracks into cubase... Full size waveform and no loss in volume. Obviously something is happening during mixdown on the zoom. If anyone knows which level indicator is which ( there's a scale on the left and on the right of the master fader on the...
Thanks for your responses . I will try it as interface today. I also plan on importing the individual tracks to cubase rather than a 2 track master to see if the volume drops. I did normalize the tracks ( in cubase)and the volume was still so low that I had to run it through the cubase gain...
I should mention that I've used zoom R8, r16, R20 and h1n in the same way... I'm currently using the h1n to record band rehearsals then bringing them back into cubase loading them from the zooms sd card, and experiencing no loss in volume.
Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster here! I recently bought the zoom live track l-20 and have encountered an issue. I've been tracking and ensuring levels are good , no clipping but still hot, and setting faders to unity gain. When I mix down on the l20 to the master 2 track the volume...
