Intro

Hello and thank you for buying the MixPre-10T! At Sound Devices, we are pas­sionate about audio. We’ve unleashed our design and engineering team and
asked them to create a groundbreaking device that sets new standards for
what’s possible from a super compact and aordable, multi-channel audio re­corder. From the ground up, we’ve designed the MixPre-10T to be a versatile
production audio workhorse. We’ve harnessed our storied heritage in eld re­cording to create an incredible piece of kit! We think that you’ll nd the unique
mix of performance, size, ease-of-use, design and build quality to be an invalu­able part of your life and creative passion for many years to come.

The MixPre-10T has been meticulously engineered to oer extreme exibility
and sound quality, operating in three fundamental ways:

• 10 input (8 mic/line XLR/TRS input + 2ch Aux input), 4 channel output mix­er with our exclusive Kashmir™ discrete, Class A mic
preampliers with analog limiters and low-cut lters.

• SD card recording of 12 channels (channels 1-8 and Aux in ISO tracks and
LR mix) at 44.1, 47.952, 48, 48.048, 96 and 192kHz, 16 and 24-bit
resolution.

• 12-in, 4-out USB computer audio interface

The possible uses for the MixPre-10T are virtually unlimited, but a few common

ones are:

• Location sound recording for video production

• Field recording for capturing sound FX

• Recording for live events

• Premium-quality 12x4 USB audio interface for any DAW application

The MixPre-10T’s versatility is augmented by the various powering options.
Whether you want to power the MixPre-10T from AA batteries, L-mount batter­ies, external battery, or an optional AC wall plug adapter, it’s ready, willing and
able to go anywhere, anytime—always handling your audio needs with grace.

We’ve designed the MixPre-10T to be easy to use for the novice without taking
away professional-level features for the seasoned pro user. With that in mind,
the MixPre-10T ships from the factory in Basic mode - this is ideal for less ex­perienced users and will satisfy many audio applications. If you want to dive
straight into the full array of professional features, we recommend setting to
Advanced mode. See Modes and Presets for more information.

We sincerely hope that you enjoy working with the MixPre-10T as much as
we’ve enjoyed creating it! Please drop us an email at support@sounddevices.

com and share your experiences as we’d love to see how the MixPre-10T is fur-

thering your passion.

Powering

Power Switch

Flexible Powering Options

In designing the MixPre-10T, we felt that it was important for it to be able to
operate in a wide array of applications and environments. To support that goal,
power can be supplied from several possible sources:

• 12 VDC via 4-pin Hirose from an external battery or AC power supply (an
optional accessory called XL-WPH3).

• Eight AA NiMH rechargeable or Lithium primary batteries installed in the
provided 8-AA battery sled, called MX-8AA.

• One or two Sony-type L-mount batteries installed in the optional L-mount
battery sled accessory, called MX-LMount.

The master power switch for the MixPre-10T is located in the upper right corner
of the left side panel.

For preservation of battery power, 4-pin Hirose power sources take priority over
batteries if both are connected.

User Guide

User Presets

Flexibility is the MixPre-10T’s M.O. To make it easy for you to use the recorder
in a wide variety of situations, we created a slick feature where you can store
and recall snapshots of all of the MixPre-10T’s settings. There are four internal
Preset slots available. Also, the SD card can store virtually unlimited Presets.

Here are three common examples:

• One day, you may need the MixPre-10T to serve as the backbone of your
production audio rig as mixer and recorder.

• The next day, you need to have the MixPre-10T handle multichannel USB
audio interface duties for a computer-based audio editing session.

• On Saturday night, you’ve been asked to provide recording services for the
local orchestra and the MixPre-10T is your eager companion, providing eight
unparalleled mic preamps to capture every nuance of instruments and room
ambience.

Using Presets, you can optimize settings for each of these scenarios and then
save each setup to one of four internal preset locations or to the SD card. Once
saved, simply load the appropriate preset and BOOM! You’re ready to go in a
jiy! We think that you’ll really appreciate this functionality.

To save a Preset:

1. Tap .

2. Tap Presets > Save to Internal 1-4 or SD Card

3. Enter a Preset Name and tap OK.

To recall a Preset

1. Tap .

2. Tap Presets > Load Preset.

3. Select preset with encoder.

4. Tap OK.

20

Inputs

The MixPre-10T’s exibility is enhanced by its ability to select various input
types to its mixer channels. Each of the MixPre-10T’s channels can be sourced
from an XLR or TRS mic/line input, 3.5mm Aux line or mic input (with or
without plug-in-power) or from USB channels 1-4 from a computer.

Channel Inputs

BASIC MODE -

For quick and easy applications, access the channel’s input settings by
pushing in the channel’s knob. You will see the Channel screen displayed.

There, you’ll be able to select the channel input source, whether you’d
like to send the audio to the Left, Center or Right of the mix bus, select
Phantom power (for condenser microphones and active DIs), and select a
Low Cut Filter.

In Basic mode, an input channel path uses a single gain stage adjusted by
its Channel knob.

The MixPre-10T’s Kashmir mic preampliers have great dynamic range and
noise specs as well as analog limiters so it’s not necessary for you to set
any levels other than that of the Channel knob (which sends the audio to
the LR mix record channels and the LR outputs. The limiters are present
on each channel and the LR mix bus. This means that peaks that would
normally clip other mic preampliers and ruin a mix, will be handled in just
the right way to make sure that your audio is safe from accidental clipping.

ADVANCED MODE -

For more complex situations requiring individual channel-to-track (ISO)
recording, soloing, channel linking, two-stage gain functionality (trim/
fader), limiter bypass, input delay, and phase.

21

User Guide

CUSTOM MODE -

By setting the Channel Custom Setup to Advanced and the Gain Custom
Setup to Basic, you can use all the Advanced Channel Input features whilst
retaining single gain stage control using the physical channel knobs. This
allows you to use the channel knobs to adjust the level going to the ISO
tracks.

Linking Channels

Are you working with a stereo source—a keyboard or stereo mic perhaps? To
make it easy to adjust these types of sources, the MixPre-10T oers linking of
channel pairs 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 either as a stereo pair or mid-side (MS) pair.
Channels 9-10 may also be linked as a stereo pair. For example, the following
procedure links channels 1 and 2.

To link channels 1-2:

1. Push the Channel 1 knob to access that channel’s screen.

2. On page 3, tap Linking.

3. Do one of the following:

X Select 1-2 for a stereo source.
X Select 1-2ms for MS source.

You’ll now be able to control the level of both channels 1 and 2 with the
Channel 1 knob. The Channel 2 knob will now function as a balanced control
if stereo linked or as a width control if MS linked.

The MixPre-10T also oers 4-channel linking for channels 1-4 and 5-8.

To link four channels:

1. Ensure System > Mode is set to Advanced, or if using Custom mode, that
Channel is set to Advanced.

2. For channels 1-4, push the Channel 1 knob. For 5-8, push the Channel 5
knob to access the appropriate channel’s screen.

22

3. On page 3, tap Linking and select either 1-4 or 5-8 respectively.

When four channels are linked, gain, fader, limiters, track arming, low cut
lters, and input delay are all linked and controlled from the single Channel
(1 or 5) screen and knob.

Gain Staging with Linking

You can use linking with single gain stage or two-gain stage (trim/fader)
operation.

For instance, users wanting to link inputs 1-2 or 1-4, but control all levels from
the front-panel Channel 1 knob should set System > Mode to Custom and then
in Custom Setup, set Gain to Basic and Channel to Advanced.

Users wanting to link those same inputs but use two gain stages should use
Advanced Mode or Custom mode with both Gain and Channel set to Advanced.
Then, you can adjust trim gain levels for linked channels from the Channel 1
screen and adjust fader levels for linked channels with the Channel 1 knob.

Setting Input Delay

Input delay may be used to compensate for ‘phasey’ sounding audio because
of time-of-arrival dierences between sound sources, such as a boom mic and
wireless radio mic picking up the same sound source.

INPUTS

To set a channel’s input delay:

1. Push in the channel’s knob to access its Channel screen.

2. On page 3, tap Delay.

3. Tap the arrows or use the encoder to adjust the setting. Each channel can
be delayed up to 30ms.

The delay is applied before the signal is sent to the recorder and outputs.

L Input Delay is not available in Basic mode.

Inverting Phase

Phase inversion (or polarity reversal) is used to compensate for incorrectly
wired, balanced cables, to prevent signal cancellation when a source is dual­mic’d from opposite directions, or to reverse left/right with microphones in a
mid-side (MS) conguration.

To invert a channel’s phase:

1. Push in the channel’s knob to access its Channel screen.

2. On page 2, tap Phase to set it to Invert.

L Phase Inversion is not available in Basic mode.

Similar to Channel screens for 1-8, input sources for channels 9 and 10 may be
selected from their screens.

Options are:

• Channel 9: Aux In 1, USB 1 or O

• Channel 10: Aux In 2, USB 2 or O

L From these screens, you may also solo, arm tracks, adjust gain, pan, low cut, and

set linking.

Configuring Aux In Mode

Congure the Aux/Mic In connector from the Inputs menu, by tapping Aux In
Mode and selecting one of the following options:

• Mic: Select this option when the Aux/Mic In is to be used with a mic. The
MixPre-10T provides bias voltage for PiP (plug-in-power) mics.

• Line: Select this option when the Aux/Mic In is to be used with an
unbalanced 2ch line source, such as smartphone headphone output, stereo
line source, etc.

When either the Mic or Line options above are selected as the Aux In Mode,
they are available as input sources to any channel by selecting Aux In 1 or
Aux In 2.

• Camera: Select this option when the Aux/Mic In is to be used for
monitoring a video camera’s audio output via the MixPre-10T’s headphones
and camera return (C1/C2) meters located on meter view 3.

This is particularly useful when you want to use the MixPre-10T to
drastically improve the sound quality recorded on the camera. It is common
knowledge that camera mic inputs are not of high quality so by connecting
your mics to the MixPre-10T instead, then connecting the MixPre-10T’s L/R
outputs to your camera audio input, you will achieve far superior sound
quality. Then by connecting the camera’s audio output to the MixPre-10T’s
Aux/Mic In, it allows you to check that the camera audio is noise and
distortion-free.

24

When this option is selected an additional setting appears in the Input Menu
called Camera Gain. This lets you adjust the gain of the incoming camera

audio level. You also get additional camera monitoring options in the HP
Presets menu.

L When Aux In Mode is set to Camera, you cannot route Aux In to a channel and

thus you cannot record it.

• Timecode: Select this option is using an external timecode source
connected to the Aux/Mic In port. The 3.5mm TRS connector is wired to
receive timecode on its tip.

L Also ensure Menu > Timecode > TC Mode is set to Aux TC In.

• O: Select this option to turn o the Aux/Mic Input.

Outputs

While we were carefully thinking about how to maximize exibility with the
inputs, we were doing the same with the outputs!

Routing L/R and X1/X2 Outputs

The MixPre-10T includes 2 pairs of outputs, L/R and X1/X2, for a total of 4
output buses. The L/R TA3 outputs are balanced, while the X1/X2 3.5mm are
unbalanced. In Basic mode, the LR mix tracks are output from both the L/R
and X1/X2 outputs. In Advanced mode, the L, R, X1, and X2 outputs can be fed
independently from any channel, aux input, USB input or LR mix track.

To route the L/R and X1/X2 stereo outputs:

1. Tap .

2. Tap Outputs.

3. Select any of the following:

◦ L Output
◦ R Output
◦ X1 Output
◦ X2 Output

4. From the routing matrix, select what channel to send to the output.

Here are images showing two of the four routing matrices for the outputs.

In addition, if you choose to send the channels to outputs, you can select
either pre-fade (Channel knob has no eect) or post-fade (Channel knob
controls level).

Adjusting Output Level and Delay

Adjusting output gains is useful for optimizing the level feeding downstream
devices such as transmitters, external mixers, PA, etc. Output delay is
particularly useful when sending audio to video operators on a production set to
ensure that audio is in sync with their camera video feeds.

To adjust output gain and/or delay:

1. Tap .

2. Tap Outputs.

3. Select either of the following:

◦ LR Gain.
◦ X1X2 Gain.

You can adjust L/R and X1/X2 output gains from 0 to -40dB.

4. Select Delay. You can set delay from 0 to 400 ms in 1 ms steps.

Recording and Playback

The MixPre-10T can record up to twelve audio tracks at 192 kHz, 24-bit to
SD cards (SD, SDHC, or SDXC) using the industry standard .WAV le format.
The recorded .WAV les written to SD card can be imported or played back
using any MAC, Windows, or Linux computer installed with a compatible audio
application, such as Pro Tools, Reaper, Cubase, Garageband, Audacity, and
many, many more.

For peace of mind, while recording audio to an SD card, the MixPre-10T can
automatically copy it to an external USB thumbdrive connected to the USB-A
port. This is ideal for backup purposes or as a quickly available handover copy
at the end of a session. Additionally, you can manually copy any project, the
active one or previous ones to the thumbdrive.

You can mix and record to the SD card even when using the MixPre-10T as
a USB audio interface. This opens up cool opportunities for recording the
computer’s USB audio output and mixing it with other mic and line sources
plugged into the MixPre, making it ideal for podcasting and recording interviews
via Skype or any other VoIP application.

This simultaneous recording/USB audio streaming capability also makes the
MixPre ideal as a backup to a computer—highly desirable in mission critical
applications where relying only on a computer might be a risk.

The recording functionality is dependant on the current operating mode, Basic
or Advanced.

In Basic mode, the MixPre-10T functions as a two-track 48 kHz recorder. The
two record tracks are fed by the LR mix which is driven directly by the channel
knob gains.

In Advanced mode, the MixPre-10T is congured as a twelve-track recorder
with user-selectable 44.1, 47.952, 48, 48.048, 96 and 192 kHz sample rate
and 16 and 24-bit depth. The LR mix tracks may be recorded as well as each of
the ten channels as individual isolated (ISO) tracks. Audio for the ISO tracks is
recorded “prefade” meaning before the channel knob gain, so any changes that
are made there will only aect the LR mix and have no aect on the recorded
ISO track levels. This is particularly useful for post-production audio processing
where it may be desirable to create an alternate mix of the ISO tracks at a later
stage.

In Custom mode, if you prefer, you can make the Channel knobs adjust the
level going to tracks—that is, tracks are “postfade”.

To set knobs to adjust level to ISO tracks:

1. Set the MixPre-10T’s System>Mode to Custom.

2. Set System>Custom Setup>Channel to Advanced.

USB Audio Interface

The MixPre-10T has an integrated 12-in, 4-out core audio-compatible interface
for use with a Mac or PC computer. For PC users, the MixPre-10T will appear as
a 2x2 audio interface unless a specic ASIO driver is installed. The latest ASIO
driver can be downloaded at www.sounddevices.com/support/downloads. See
the MixPre Series Downloads page.

To work with the USB audio from a host computer, it is necessary to route the
USB 1 - 4 sources appropriately. Should you want to mix the USB audio from
the host computer with live audio from the MixPre-10T’s inputs to the LR bus,
use the channel screen and select input source. To hear the USB host computer
audio in the headphones only, switch the HP preset to USB 1,2 or USB 3,4.

The MixPre-10T is capable of recording and streaming audio to a USB host
simultaneously. The MixPre-10T is also capable of recording the USB audio

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.

37

User Guide

In situations where the throughput latency is higher than desired, the input to
the MixPre-10T can be directly monitored in the headphone output.

To monitor with zero-latency through the MixPre-10T:

1. Connect MixPre-10T to computer.

2. Conrm that the LR Stereo HP Preset is selected.

3. Select USB1 for Channel 9 source and Pan L.

USB File Transfer

The MixPre-10T can support 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, put the MixPre-10T 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, unmount the SD card from the computer,
then tap Exit on the USB-C File Transfer Mode screen to return to the
previous operating state.

USB Keyboard

The use of standard USB computer keyboards is supported with the USB-A port
on the recorder’s left panel. When using the MixPre-10T in situations requiring
extensive metadata entry, titling and wired remote control capability, a USB
keyboard may be desirable.

38

L Keyboards with an embedded USB hub and Apple brand keyboards are not

compatible. Additionally, some keyboards must be connected only after the
recorder is turned on.

Copying to a USB Drive

The MixPre-10T supports automatic copying of active projects from its SD card
to a USB thumbdrive inserted into its USB-A port. This handy feature is great
for fast hand-o copies to a client as well as for backup purposes. All you need
to do is insert a USB thumbdrive, and MixPre-10T will handle the rest.

When the USB thumbdrive is inserted, it will automatically mirror the current
project being recorded to the SD card. Even metadata edits to previously
recorded les, are automatically updated on the USB thumbdrive.

Automatic copying starts when you nish recording a le, even if you start
recording or playing another le. This reduces copy lag. At the end of a day’s
shoot, you’ll typically only have to wait for the last recorded le to nish
copying.

You can also manually copy previous projects by using the Project Copy feature.

USB

L Sound Devices highly recommends only using approved USB thumbdrives for

reliable operation. For more information, see the MixPre Series list at:

Timecode

Timecode/Sync

In the sound for picture category, Sound Devices has a very solid track record
with timecode. It’s no surprise that many Oscar winning movies have had their
sound recorded using Sound Devices gear.

The MixPre-10T incorporates a highly accurate, ultra-low drift SMPTE LTC
timecode generator and reader that supports all common frame rates and
modes making it well-suited to any sound for picture application. Even when
power is removed, the MixPre-10T continues to hold accurate timecode for
up to 4 hours using its own internal battery, more than long enough even for
the most extended lunch break! This internal battery is automatically charged
anytime the MixPre-10T is powered on.

The TC In and TC Out BNC connectors can be re-congured to operate as
word clock (sync) input and output, enabling the MixPre-10T to operate as a
precision master clock or as a slave to an external master clock.

Each time you press record, the current timecode value is stored inside the
MixPre-10T’s Broadcast WAV le. Most popular video editing applications can
read this timecode value to help sync the audio with picture.

Timecode Modes

The MixPre-10T has six timecode modes: Free Run, Time of Day, Rec Run, BNC
In, AuxTC In, and HDMI TC In. Timecode may also be turned o.

To set timecode modes:

1. Tap .

2. Select Timecode > TC Mode.

Free Run

Timecode runs continuously. Timecode continues counting accurately for up to
four hours after power-down.

Rec Run

Timecode runs while recording and is stationary when not recording. In this
mode, timecode defaults to the last stationary value at power-up. When
switching to Record Run from another mode, the internal generator will stop at
the last timecode value.

41

User Guide

BNC In, Aux TC In (External LTC)

Timecode can be derived from external timecode connected to the TC In BNC or
to the 3.5 mm Aux/Mic In connector.

To set an external LTC source:

1. Tap .

2. Select Timecode > TC Mode and choose either BNC In or Aux TC In.

HDMI TC In

The MixPre-10T syncs to HDMI when using HDMI TC In, which ensures zero
drift between camera and recorder. Use a camera that outputs timecode over its
HDMI output connection.

A few examples of cameras that do this are the Sony a7s and Panasonic GH4/
GH5. Connect their HDMI output to the HDMI TC In port on the MixPre-10T’s
right hand panel and set Menu>Timecode>TC Mode to HDMI TC In. Refer to
the camera’s user guide to determine how to output HDMI timecode from the
camera since all cameras do it in a slightly dierent way.

L If HDMI TC In is selected without an HDMI source connected, the MixPre-10T will

report missing sync since MixPre-10T must sync to HDMI when using HDMI TC In.
This ensures zero drift between the HDMI camera and the MixPre-10T.

Time of Day (TOD)

Alternatively known as 24 hr run mode, this is similar to free run mode except
that the timecode generator is automatically loaded with the time of day. Use
TOD mode when you want the recorded WAV les to be timecode stamped with
the time of day.

Off

Setting TC Mode to O disables the timecode feature. When O, the time
counter below the Filename region on the home screen displays elapsed time
instead of timecode.

Timecode Display

When timecode is enabled, it is displayed on the home screen beneath the
current lename. Timecode is displayed as standard HH:MM:SS:FF format
unless the timecode frame rate is drop-frame, in which case it is displayed as
HH:MM:SS;FF—with a semi-colon between the seconds and frames elds.

42

Setting the Frame Rate

When using external TC modes (BNC In, Aux TC In, HDMI TC In), it is not
necessary to set the frame rate because the MixPre-10T auto-detects the frame
rate of the incoming timecode and sets frame rate accordingly.

However, when using the internal TC modes (Rec Run, Free Run, TOD), it is
important to set the frame rate of the internal timecode generator.

To set the frame rate:

1. Tap .

2. Select Timecode>Frame Rate and choose a frame rate. Options include:

23.98, 24, 25, 29.97nd, 29.97dF, 30, or 30dF.

Setting Generator Timecode and UBits

When in Free Run or Rec Run modes, you can set the timecode generator’s
initial timecode value as well as UBits.

TIMECODE

To set timecode value:

1. Tap .

2. Select Timecode > Set TC, then use the encoder to set values for HH, MM,
SS, and FF. The value entered is loaded into the TC generator and displayed
below the lename on the Home screen.

To set UBits:

1. From the Timecode menu, tap Set UBits > Mode.

2. Use the encoder to select a UBit mode. Options include: U:U:U:U, M:D:Y:U,
D:M:Y:U, or External.

L M represents Month, D for Day, Y for Year, and U for User dened.

3. After mode has been selected, enter the required hex value for each UBit
eld. Each eld ranges from 0 to F.

User Guide

Jamming Timecode

In addition to being able to set the generator’s timecode manually, it is possible
to jam external LTC timecode into the generator when in Free Run mode.
Jamming enables the MixPre-10T to maintain the same timecode count as
other devices on set—such as cameras, digi-slates, etc.—without physically
or wirelessly being linked. The MixPre-10T excels in this scenario, because it
incorporates an ultra-low drift timecode generator which can maintain timecode
accuracy over very long periods.

L The MixPre-10T cannot jam to HDMI TC In.

To jam the MixPre-10T:

1. Choose whether to use the BNC In or Aux In as your source of external
timecode.

2. Connect the external LTC timecode source.

3. Set Menu>Timecode>TC Mode to Free Run.

4. Set Menu>Timecode>Frame Rate to the required frame rate.

In normal circumstances, set the internal generator’s frame rate to the
same as the incoming timecode frame rate.

L However, it is possible to crossjam, that is have the MixPre-10T jam its internal

generator to a dierent but compatible frame rate with the incoming rate.

Compatible rates are: both integer rates (24, 25, or 30), or both non-integer rates
(23.98, 29.97nd).

5. Go to Menu>Timecode>Jam. This will display the Jam screen.

The screen displays the internal and external timecode, and the dierence
(Di) between the two values.

44

6. Tap Source and select BNC In or Aux TC to jam source.

7. Tap Jam TC to jam timecode. Jamming is successful if Di = 00:00:00:00.

BNC Out - Timecode or Word Clock

By default, the TC Out BNC outputs timecode; however, it may be congured
to output word clock for when you want to use the MixPre-10T as an accurate
master clock.

To congure the TC Out BNC:

X Set Menu>Timecode>BNC Out to either Timecode or Word Clock.

BNC In - Timecode or Word Clock

By default, the TC In BNC is set to receive timecode; however, it can be
congured to receive an external word clock.

To set the TC In BNC to Word Clock:

X Set Menu>Timecode>BNC In to Word Clock and connect a Word Clock

source.

TIMECODE

Sync Ref

The MixPre-10T can be set to slave to an external timecode or word clock sync
reference connected to its BNC In port.

The sync reference devines where the A/D and D/A, timecode, and le writing
receive their oscillator. BY setting to External, the MixPre-10T’s sampling can be
exactly synchronous with other pieces of gear.

To set sync reference:

Projects and Files

Each time record is pressed, the MixPre-10T creates a Broadcast WAV audio
le which can subsequently be played back on the MixPre-10T or in almost any
computer audio application. The MixPre-10T is able to record up to 12 tracks
(the stereo mix LR tracks plus 10 isolated tracks) into a single polyphonic WAV
le. Polyphonic simply refers to the fact that the le contains multiple tracks.

It is easy to end up with many hundreds of WAV les on a single SD card,
especially as cards can hold many gigabytes of audio data. To help organize
this large number of les, they are stored in individual, user-nameable folders
which in the MixPre-10T are known as Projects. For instance, you may want to
organize your recordings based on their production name, date, or category,
such as INTERVIEWS, WILD TRACKS, SOUND FX, MUSIC, etc. Each project is
represented by a folder located at the root of the SD card.

Only one project is active at any one time. If you choose not to create a
project, the MixPre-10T automatically creates one with the current date as it’s
name. The project folder contains all les recorded during the time that project
is active. All the active project’s les can be viewed in the File List.

User Guide

Managing Projects

The File List is a chronological list of all les that have been recorded in the
active project.

To access the File List:

X Tap the lename region at the top of the Home screen.

The very top item in the list is the NEXT le to be recorded. Directly below
that is the last recorded le or le currently being recorded, followed by all
previously recorded les.

The File List allows you to perform various tasks on the active project’s les

including:

• View all les and their duration

• Select any le for playback

• Edit le metadata (name, number, notes, track names)

• Rename les

• Undo last recorded le

• Trash les

Use the HP encoder to scroll through the list to select les for playback or
editing.

To playback any le from the list:

X Select a le and press Play to play it back.

To edit a le’s metadata:

X Select a le then press in the HP encoder or tap Edit to access its Edit menu

from which you can perform such tasks as those previously listed.

To create a new Project:

48

1. Tap .

2. Tap Project > New and choose to create a custom project name or project
name based on the current date.

L Project names can be up to 18 characters long. The project name appears as the

PROJECTS AND FILES

project folder’s name when viewed on a computer.

To access les or record new les in a previously created project:

1. Tap .

2. Tap Project > Open.

3. Select the required project. This will load the File List with the selected
Project’s les.

L Tapping the lename at top of any meter view will display the File List of the

currently opened project.

To trash a Project:

1. Tap .

2. Tap Project > Trash.

3. Select which project to trash. This moves the selected project and all its
les to the TRASH folder. Projects in this folder are accessible using a
computer.

L You can permanently delete projects in the SD card’s TRASH folder from the

MixPre-10T’s Drive sub-menu.

File Name Format

The MixPre-10T makes it easy to identify 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). In production
sound applications, this Name and Number are typically used to log scene name
and take number. For example:

123A-001.WAV

Name (Scene name) = 123A

Number (Take number) = 001

Each time record is pressed, the Number is incremented. The Number is reset
to 1 whenever you create a new Name.

49

User Guide

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 as Scene and Take information 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.

In Advanced mode you can also rename a recording.

To rename a recorded le:

X In the File List, select a le by pressing the encoder, and tap Rename.

Track Names and Notes

In Advanced mode, you also have the option to store track names and notes
inside the WAV le. This is ideal for multitrack recording where you want to
identify what or who is recorded on a particular track and for adding descriptive
notes about the recording that might be useful to an editor at a later stage.

To edit track names and notes:

1. In the File List, select a le and press the encoder

2. Do any of the following:

X Select Track Names to change track names.
X Select Name, Num Notes to edit notes.

You can also edit a track name from its associated channel screen. For example:

50

To edit ISO track 1’s name:

1. Press Channel 1 knob.

2. Tap top left corner of the Channel screen.

PROJECTS AND FILES

3. Enter a name for Ch1 and tap OK.

The edited name will appear at the top of the channel screen and will also
be embedded in the metadata of the le currently being recorded as well as
subsequent recordings.

Undo, Trash File

In Advanced mode, you can undo the last le recorded. Undo moves the last
recorded le to the SD card’s UNDO folder. Files in this folder are accessible
using a computer.

L The USB thumbdrive does not contain an UNDO folder.

To undo your last recording:

X In the File List, select a le, press the encoder, and tap Undo.

To trash any le in the File List:

1. In the File List, highlight a le, and tap Edit.

2. Select Trash Take.

Trash File moves the le to the SD card’s TRASH folder. Files in this folder are
accessible using a computer. You can permanently delete les in the SD card’s
TRASH folder from the MixPre-10T’s SD Card menu.

Sound Reports

The MixPre-10T includes the ability to create a .csv sound report le for the
active project. It contains useful descriptive information about the project
settings and all its recorded les. This can be used as a log of your recording
session or as an electronic report that you can send along with your audio les
to post-production or a client.

The .csv (comma-separated-value) le format can be imported into almost any
spreadsheet application and lists all project and take details in an easy-to-read
column and row format.

You can customize the sound report’s descriptive header information to include
various project details, such as Producer, Director, Job, Name, Location, Phone,
E-mail, Client, etc.

To customize the sound report info:
