User questions & answers

Question:	Does the L12 work with Cubase 10 recording on a 21 inch Mac
Answer:	This is a sound interface. All you need is sound drivers. There is no supplemental software.
Question:	Can the L-12 record a live stereo mix, or only multitrack
Answer:	What you can't do is record the next track at 24-bit/96kHz. That is you can record up to 12 tracks all at once at 24-bit/96kHz but then if you wanted to add another track to it while monitoring the first recording it has to be at 46kHz which is sub CD quality.
Question:	Can I save EQ’s and recall them from the save if they have been changed
Answer:	Yes! The EQ settings will be saved to your scene.
Question:	Are the faders motorized
Answer:	No the faders are not motorized. When you switch between fader modes and scenes, LEDs indicate what the fader settings were last set on in the mode/scene you switch to. You move the fader manually to the lit setting if you want it there or want to change it.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it have echo and can be used for karaoke
Answer:	Yes it does. You just need to activate whichever channel needs it.
Question:	How does the usb out select section work? What are the routing paths possible? (The user 'manual' does not provide much informatiom
Answer:	Hi James! If you desire a nice headphone amplifier and intend to send analog audio (microphone) into to the microphone port of the MixPre-3 II, that would work nicely! My only concern is how this audio then gets to the Internet. The MixPre-3 II is supported as a computer audio interface, but I am not sure how you will be sending audio from the MixPre-3 II to the world.
Question:	Does it support multitrack recording with a daw? if so, how many tracks can be recorded simultaneously via usb using a daw
Answer:	Hi, The Mixpre3 II is manufactured in Taiwan, while the Mixpre 6 II and Mixpre-10 II are assembled in the U.S.A. Thank you, Sound Devices
Question:	Is the USB an output to the computer
Answer:	I also had the CD and the fixed memory versions. I can tell you that the GB-10 has all the same features plus recording. Buy it, you wont be sorry
