Awesome video C-Well. You explain everything very well. I am a Musician as I purchased a Sound Devices MixPre 10ii for just the outputs and Preamps alone. The MixPre 10ii let' me plugin my monitors via XLR mini, It’s Definitely a Beast. I installed the Musician Plugin as well. I would also Love to see you do a video or videos (I know it is a lot) explaining how to use the MixPre as an Audio Interface, Streaming, Zoom Conferencing, Podcasting, and with a DAW. I use Reaper as a DAW, and would like to use both at the same Time. I would like to accomplish All of this using my SM7B for vocals and SM57 for acoustic Guitar, with the Musician Plugin. I also purchased a JK Audio Daptor Two (Wireless Phone Audio Interface) going through my MixPre 10ii and have accomplished some great audio cellphone interview recordings. Now I need to get a decent camera to do video with syncing the audio.
@@BYCWELLI agree. I am trying to get Good with the MixPre, the DAW, and Recording Video. I have been a Musician for a long time as I have always had been recorded by Engineers, however now, I am trying to be the Engineer. Little by little, I guess.
Yea the Mix pre is a beast you can even use it to record live bands and what not. The little device uses on board plugins maybe I need to do a review on that too.
Hi Kalron, thank you for this video! It was really helpful (: I am a singer-songwriter and musician who wants to make an album that some of it based on field recordings, such as guitar & vocal with one mic, string quartets and brass ect.. that will be filmed and recorded in interesting locations (such as abounded military bases from world war I or old churhes around europe). The idea is to catch an authentic preformance with the acoustic of the places. My dilemma is that I want to keep the option of recording in a home studio and to be able to mix and arrang things by myself on the DAW (I'm using Ableton). I though to buy the Apollo Twin for studio purposes and the Zoom F4 for field recording, I heard it got really nice preamps yet the Sound Devices is better in quality. So I'm thinking instead, maybe to buy one of Sound Devices interfaces, such as the Mixpre series and use it for both studio and field recording purposes. The sound quality is in my top priority, I'm thinking of filming the videos with Iphone 14 and buying AT4050ST (for filed/ansambels) & TLM 103 (for studio) mics. What do you think would be the most wise investment in my case? Thank in advance
Hi Karlon, I have a question! I want to use the MixPre 6 II, as a USB interface with my laptop for when I'am giging. I'am testing it by connecting to my Stagepass amp that then connects to the speakers. I have tried the output on the mixPre by connecting a mini-jack to L and R XLR by both the Headphone Out and also the Stereo Out connection. Reducing the output volume by 10db for the Stereo Out helps it not distort. But the headphone out is also a possibility. Obviously on a lot of USB interface's they have 2 1/4 inch outs. Not convinced this is possible with the MixPre. I also have odd things happening that the vocal mic input into my DAW, Logic comes out with a big hissing sound, This is driving me a little bit crazy. Any Ideas!
I think you will have to rephrase the question. I am getting that you want to use it as a pass thru to connect it from your laptop to speakers while playing live is this the case?
@@BYCWELL Hi Karlon, thanks for responding. I reset MixPre back to Factory Settings and is now working. I have created a preset so should be less hassle to get going in the future. Most of these USB audio interface will have 1/4 balanced output I believe, however as you know MixPre does not.Will look for minijack to L+R 1/4 inch cable to accept the stereo input into my PA. This setup will do for now and improves the the overall EQ and reverb etc settings. Cheers.

The Mix pre is such an amazing device sometimes I think there's sooo much out there but the Mix pre still proves itself.

very informative! thank you. did not know about 32 bit float. i own an apollo x4 but might grab a mixpre 3 for tape syncs.

Thanks for your video, it's very informative. What are your thoughts on Zoom F3, is it a worthy competitor?

To get top notch quality I would say the Mix Pre especially with its feature set and plugins (hands down).

Karlon, would the MixPre 3 II sound as good as an audio interface for voice overs compared to the Apollo X4?
actually it will it's more than enough 90% of my videos in the last year and a 1/2 are the mix pre 3. Speaking of which In need to do a new one soon.
@@BYCWELL Thank you Karlon! Looking forward to your next video. Blessings to you. :)
