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 horizon-
tally 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 proj-
ects start at 00:00:00.0.

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 re-
cording during playback or when stopped. Only armed chan-
nels are recorded.
Stop
Press Stop to stop recording or playback at the current posi-
tion.
Pressing Stop when already stopped returns the playback cur-
sor 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 la-
bels surrounding the channel number. See
Meter View
for more information
on possible colors of track labels and what they mean.
