Turn off the mix track and turn the screen brithness down may help some!

Anyone try lithiums? I'm only getting a little over 3 hours. MP3. 2 channels. Phantom on. BT off. Naiant actives, AKG. 60V PFA.

Is it possible to pause/resume recording on the MixPre 3/6?

No.  It is stop and record only as far as i know.  If you hit record a 2nd time while it is rolling it simply starts a new file.

Owing to the lack of other habitable planets in our solar system, I use rechargeable batteries exclusively.

Sorry for being obnoxious. Given the wonderful rechargeable options, I really encourage you not to use disposable solutions, even if they give you a little more run time.

If the LR isn't showing at the top of screen while recording, it's off, right?

If it isn't bouncing levels and is greyed out it is off!

Hey, Tapers.

I took delivery of my MixPre-6 earlier today. Early impressions are very positive.

Interestingly, it had already been updated to firmware v1.11.

I've configured it with knobs acting as gain controls and I've disabled L&R mix recording.

However, with L&R disabled, I don't hear anything through the headphones when I play a recorded file back UNLESS I solo the channel.

Is it possible to hear the file without soloing? Is there a configuration option I've somehow missed? Anyone know?

Thanks,
dp

There is an entire Headphone (HP) menu. It is upper left on the home screen. You can set many options in Advanced mode and there are a few options in basic mode. You can set presets also.

That's the ticket!

With Headphones in Advanced mode, I'm able to select which channels get routed to the headphone mix.

Thanks for the lead.

I'm in basic mode. LR doesn't even show.

I'll have to check in basic mode.  I run mine in custom mode.

In my configuration, the L+R meters still register incoming signal levels.

But if the L and R indicators on the far left of the screen are grey (rather than red), they're not armed for recording.
