REEDSBURG, DECEMBER 10, 2018 - Sound Devices introduces the highly anticipated v3.00 firmware update for the MixPre series of audio recorders, mixers, and USB audio interfaces. MixPre v3.00 adds the following features and enhancements:
Support for third-party USB control surfaces
Ambisonic and binaural recording, monitoring, and playback for the MixPre-6 and MixPre-10T
Pre-roll buffer for the MixPre-3, MixPre-6, and MixPre-10T
Wireless control and metering for MixPre-M models from iOS and Android devices
ASIO drivers for MixPre-M models
Controlling a MixPre from a USB control surface offers a whole new level of flexibility and control. Four affordable third-party USB control surfaces can now connect to the MixPre and instantly control fader, trim (gain), pan, low cut, reverb, record, stop, and more. MixPre v3.00 supports the Korg nanoKONTROL Studio and nanoKONTROL2, Akai MIDImix, and Novation Launch Control XL.
The MixPre recorders are built for go-anywhere portability. However when the environment allows, it's nice to spread out and ride linear faders, said Nicholas Vandrush, Director of Marketing at Sound Devices. The MixPre series address a variety of applications and workflows, and with four controllers to choose customers can use the controller that suits them best.
The new Ambisonics Plugin for MixPre-6 and -10T is a key addition to v3.00. Field recordists, game developers, and VR content creators have requested a way to improve the recording capabilities of 360 spatial audio on the MixPre series. Sennheiser's popular AMBEO VR microphone pairs perfectly with the Ambisonics Plugin. Other microphones and microphone arrays are also supported. MixPre Ambisonics features include:
A-Format, B-Format, and A- to B-Format conversion
Real-time binaural and stereo monitoring
Simultaneous recording of AmbiX, FuMa, LR Stereo, and LR Binaural
Sound Devices recorders have been used to create ambisonic field recordings for many years, so it was a natural progression for us to bring our MixPre recorders into this new world of 360 recording, said Matt Anderson, CEO of Sound Devices. We are happy to partner with Sennheiser to provide a high-quality ambisonic recording and monitoring option for our MixPre-6 and MixPre-10T customers. The Ambisonics Plugin is available now at no charge from the Plugin Store.
Any field recordist understands the disappointment that comes with waiting for the perfect sound and missing it because they didn't press record. Pre-roll provides a safety net for when fingers aren't fast enough and ensures all crucial audio is captured in the seconds before the record button is pressed. The MixPre-3 and MixPre-6 offer five seconds of pre-roll. The MixPre-10T offers ten seconds.
Musicians recording with a MixPre can now view high-resolution meters and control record, stop, and playback remotely from their iOS or Android device. Sound Devices Wingman, a MixPre companion application, now communicates via Bluetooth Smart with the MixPre-M models and the MixPre-3, -6, and -10T running the Musician Plugin.
MixPre-M models used as a computer audio interface with Windows OS computers are no longer limited to 2-input, 2-output and 44.1 and 48 kHz sampling rates. Version 3.00 works with the latest MixPre ASIO driver to offer multi-channel I/O (MixPre-3M = 5 in, 2 out; MixPre-6M = 8 in, 4 out; MixPre-10M = 12 in, 4 out) at sample rates up to 96 kHz.
The v3.00 firmware update for the MixPre-3, -3M, -6, -6M, -10M, and -10T is available December 10, 2018. Learn more about these features and the MixPre series of audio recorders, mixers, and USB audio interfaces at www.sounddevices.com.
