User error for me

The mixer is very easy to use, however I only give two stars for value for money and quality because I encountered some problems with this model. What I liked anyway: - the nomadic aspect - ease of use What I don't like: - The output sound is not great, it sounds like there is compression on the master (even though no setting is possible in this regard) - the gain of the separate tracks in the recorder is quite low... which is not really a problem but still... - Question: The Livetrak arrived with firmware version 1.23 and the latest firmware version on their site is version 1.12... what about version tracking... Bugs encountered: - first concert: the mixer turns off without warning after 20 min, same in rehearsal, second concert it turns off after 1h45 and so I lost the multitrack recording of this concert - the effects are a bit cheap but well, given the price of the mixer this is not surprising. - after navigating through the mixer's settings, sometimes I have no sound and I have to lower and raise the faders to get signal again on the concerned inputs... Just in case, I downgraded the factory firmware with the one on the site but it did not solve the problem. Important to highlight: Zoom support is very responsive, even on Sundays they reply to emails within a few hours. Unfortunately, they could not help me and advised me to return the product. Maybe I just had bad luck, but just in case, I will look for another model... Woodbrass initiated the return procedure at my request.

missing a compressor

Very happy to have found, with the advice of a phone advisor, the product I was looking for to replace the sound card and my mixing console. The sound quality is excellent. The use, so new to me at first, is child's play once the tool is mastered.
