Each time you press record, the MixPre-3 creates a WAV audio le which can
subsequently be played back on the MixPre or almost any computer audio
application. The MixPre-3 is able to record up to 5 tracks (the stereo mix LR
tracks plus three isolated tracks) into a single polyphonic WAV le. Polyphonic
simply refers to the fact that the le contains multiple tracks.
File Name Format
The MixPre-3 makes it easy to identify and organize your recordings (WAV les)
by providing the ability to name them before, during, or after recording.
Each recording’s le name is comprised of a Name (maximum 9 characters),
followed by a dash (-), and then followed by a Number (3 digits). For example:
MIXPRE-001.WAV
Name = MIXPRE
Number = 001
Each time you press record, the Number is incremented.
The Number is reset to 1 whenever you create a new Name.
Naming a Recording
To name a recording:
1. Go to the File List by tapping the top left region of the Home screen.
2. Select a le from the list by using the headphone encoder on the right
panel. Rotate to highlight a le then press the encoder (or touch Edit) to
select it for naming or press the Play button to play it.
L The File List is in chronological order with most recent recordings at the top of
the list. The row at the very top of the list represents the next le to be recorded.
Selecting this allows you to give a name to the next recording prior to recording
it.
3. Select Name to edit the Name.
4. Select Number to edit the Number.
The Name and Number not only determine the lename of the recording—
they are also embedded inside the WAV le. This is particularly useful
in lm and TV production where the data is used to help log and locate
content faster.
