Transport Controls
On the MixPre-3M, the transport controls works in a similar fashion to how
transport controls work in a typical DAW, i.e. they control a playback cursor
(typically indicated by a moving vertical line in most DAWs) that moves
horizontally across a timeline indicating the current position in the song. The
current position is indicated by the time counter at the top of the Home screen.
All projects start at 00:00:00.0.
Function Control Action
Record
The button illuminates red while recording is underway.
Push the REC button to manually start recording from the
current position on the timeline. You can manually start
recording during playback or when stopped. Only armed
channels are recorded.
Stop
Press Stop to stop recording or playback at the current
position.
Pressing Stop when already stopped returns the playback
cursor to the start of the song.
While stopped, press and hold the headphone encoder, then
rotate it to move the playhead forward or backward in 1/10
second steps
Play
The button illuminates green while playback is underway.
Press to start playback from the current position. Press again
during playback to pause at the current position.
If at the end of the song, pressing play does nothing.
Scrub
While playing or paused, press the headphone encoder to
enter Scrub mode. Then rotate clockwise for fast forward or
counter-clockwise for rewind at speeds of 0x, 1/8x, 1/4x,
1/2x, 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x and 16x. The audio may be heard in
Scrub mode up to 2x speed. TO exit scrub mode, press the
headphone encoder again.
Record Arming
Armed tracks are recorded when REC is activated. They play back when Play is
activated.
Disarmed tracks play back during recording and playback unless their input
monitor is on, in which case they monitor the live input.
To arm a channel:
1. Press the Channel knob.
2. Tap Arm.
Armed tracks are indicated in the Home screen’s meter view by red
track labels surrounding the channel number. See Meter View for more
information on possible colors of track labels and what they mean.
