Most meticulous, elaborate and 'professionally' friendly easy to understand, engaging and no 'stupid jargons' explanation of Sound Devices Mixpre and Audio. Spot on accurate info that is actually required to understand and operate audio, unlike time wasters who just read out from the boring product manual. I am so overwhelmed, I could not find this level of in depth product knowledge & details about audio - wasting hours and days, even in the videos of Sound Devices's own support experts & other so called audio experts here on TH-cam and some others who are selling inferior information as courses. Thanks Kyler. I can clearly see "Write & Direct" as the one of the best channel on Film Making with your style of content delivery. How do you do this man??? That's another topic on "HOW TO REALLY CREATE AN INTERESTING VALUE DELIVERING 'Great' VIDEO".
Wow! You’re very kind to say all of that. I know what it’s like to hit my head against the wall trying to figure stuff out. Or be challenged on set due to a lack of knowledge. So happy this has helped in some way! Thanks again man for your kind words.
I wanted to extend my appreciation and admiration for your content: I stumbled upon your channel just a week ago, and I've been captivated ever since. I particularly enjoy your calm, pragmatic approach to subjects, which is so refreshing. My only request is that you maintain your authenticity, steering clear of becoming yet another influencer who resorts to covert advertising and merely regurgitating scripts from corporate PR teams.
Right on! Thank you. I shot a couple short films in basic mode before diving into advanced. Once you sort that all out you’re never going back to basic. Are you a filmmaker?
Audio sync question. I will be doing a competition next month, using ISO. How does the technique of putting video & audio together in the media page and hitting "sync" work in that scenario?
It works the same -- Your audio file from the MixPre will have all the tracks together, so when you sync it will just sync them all. And when you add that to the timeline, you'll see all the channels. You can also go to clip attributes on the video clip and choose which of the ISO tracks to include, etc. It's still WAY easier to grab camera audio and let Resolve match by waveform.
Hi. You replied to my comment yesterday. I have gone to custom mode. I want the isolated channels BUT I want the control knobs to adjust my gain, not use the trim gain. I leave the rest of custom on advanced mode and gain set to basic. That gives me what I want.
So in theory - I can run in advanced mode and "arm" all 3 mic inputs and that will give me 3 separate channels when I import into Resolve, Premiere etc? Unless I am missing something why would anyone not want to always have these separate and not mixed? As an editor I always want separate audio channels for each "source". btw great video and one of the best at explaining how to arm and record separate channels. Maybe it's just my thick noggin but none of the information from Sound Device explained this very clearly. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words! And you’re right, the only purpose of multiple channels is three mono tracks for post, or a stereo track. However, if you leave that thing in basic mode and hook up three mics and hit record, it puts all the inputs from the three mics into one track. And advanced mode isn’t intuitive in my opinion. If they didn’t zero out the gain by default when you threw it in advanced, it would make sense faster.
@@writedirect oh cool… thanks for the answer. I tried this recently and it was only writing one track even though I had 1&2 armed… I’ll have to look into it again
@@jackfisher7274 it will definitely do it. But again, not in basic mode. And the gain by default is set really low so even if you arm it, you won’t get any sound. Kind of confusing at first. If you watch my video through the settings, you’ll see how to do it.
I've searched all over for content that could explain the proper way to setup isolated tracks. This video was perfect. Thank you!!!

Marcus, I really appreciate your words and support! And def hear you. I will always be about what serves story vs what serves the pocket book.
Huge help and very very good explanation! I was missing a few settings that I still don't understand but what I've seen was great!
Cool man. Anything I can help with?
Fantastic and extremely useful content. Thank you for putting this together.
Thanks man! I know when I first started with the MixPre, advanced mode seemed complicated. I don’t think it’s very intuitive.
EXACTLY what I neeeeded!!! You da best!
Right on! Glad it helped. Thank you.
I liked the disabled tip
Cool! Hope the upcoming shoot goes well. Thanks for commenting and watching on my channel.
Excellent tutorial!

Thank you, good tip! And I guess that's why that custom mode exists. I haven't used it yet, but that's a good reason to.

This thing needs an App asap. So sad that what they call an App now is pretty worthless.
An app would be nice!
What I am curious about is can the mixpre record a separate track for each mic input?
Yes. In advanced mode only.

@@writedirect I was definitely in advanced mode. Settings were high enough for both mics… do u mean this video?
@@jackfisher7274 yeah this video. I’m not in office so can’t check for you.

So call me an idiot, but not getting this.
