I have been struggling with blotches appearing on my Sound Devices MixPre-3 audio recorder screen – making it very difficult to see the gain dial. I have looked into sending it back to Sound Devices but I found the process pretty confusing and expensive.
Luckily I came across SG Audio Labs in Flitwick, UK and Simon fixed it quickly and affordably with a new touch screen.

It’s a small unit but records a great sound and has very good HP amplifiers In the picture: the MixPre-3 (v1) and a Audio Technica stereo BP4025 microphone wrapped up in a Rode Blimp II
My Doepfer LMK2+ keyboard is back in the studio – certainly is nice to be writing and recording with this beauty again. 🎹 Much of my composition work is piano based so having to play a 61 noter with no weighted action was not ideal.
Thanks to Rob @ Audio Circus for the fast effiecient repair,

My Sound Devices MixPre-3 screen has developed blotches and may need an expensive replacement — not what I would expect from a premium, high-priced product.
The recorder itself is well respected, and for good reason: excellent sound quality, strong analogue limiters, and solid overall performance. However, I’ve always found the menu system rather fiddly, and setting up simple tasks can feel more complicated than it should be. That may just be my ageing brain talking, but it has never felt especially intuitive to me.
The headphone volume control, which also doubles as the input gain adjustment, is particularly frustrating to use. The power switch is similarly awkward.
I’m now looking forward to trying the new Tascam DR-40XP when it arrives in the UK — I already have one on order. With 32-bit float recording now available, the appeal of the MixPre-3’s analogue limiters begins to fade.
