Low-latency Monitoring
We’ve worked really hard with our hardware and software design teams to
minimize latency. We’ve found that in many scenarios, latency when monitoring
through a DAW (digital audio workstation) is perfectly acceptable, depending
upon DAW software, computer hardware and plug-ins.
In situations where the throughput latency is higher than desired, the input to
the MixPre-10M can be directly monitored in the headphone output.
For example...
To monitor with zero-latency through the MixPre-10M:
1. Connect MixPre-10M to computer.
2. Conrm that the LR Stereo HP Preset is selected.
3. Select USB1 for track 11 source and Pan L.
4. Select USB2 for track 12 source and Pan R.
5. Connect microphone or instrument to track 1.This will appear to your
computer as USB stream 1.
6. Set up your DAW software for a new track with its source being USB stream
1 and be sure that record monitoring is disabled for this track. (Optionally,
you may mute the track’s output in the DAW).
7. You should now be able to hear and adjust the output of your DAW audio
through channels 11 and 12 while adjusting your low-latency feed in your
headphones (and send levels to DAW) using the Channel 1 knob. Use
Channel 11 and 12 knobs to adjust the mix of the DAW audio with channel
1 to taste.
USB File Transfer
The MixPre-10M supports USB le transfer between its SD card and a computer
by connecting the MixPre-s USB-C port to a host computer’s USB port. To use
this feature, connect the recorder to a computer and then put the MixPre-10M
into File Transfer mode. (USB audio will be suspended.)
To enter File Transfer mode:
1. Tap .
2. Tap System > File Transfer.
3. When le transfer is complete, disconnect the recorder from the computer,
then tap Exit on the USB-C File Transfer Mode screen to return to the
previous operating state.
