Bringing the essence of computer-based music production software to the super-compact MixPre-3, the Sound Devices Musician Plug-In offers musicians and songwriters an easy-to-use, portable tool for creating high-quality, multi-layered songs anywhere and anytime inspiration grabs them.
The Musician plug-in enables recording, playback, mixing, monitoring, layering, and overdubbing of up to 12 tracks, with 3 simultaneous tracks on the MixPre-3. Once your song is finished, you can mix and render (export) it for sharing with others. The built-in metronome helps you keep your performance in time, while the reverb and vocal air effects add character to your recording and can contribute in inspiring a great performance.
