Mindprint TRIO USB

The MindPrint Trio is a processor and monitor controller that is affordable and flexible when it comes to monitoring. It does have a talk back function but the quality of it is not as good as I expected it to be, it seem to be a little “noisy”. The front of this unit is where all of the knobs are, they are smooth and move easily and built to last a long time. If this is your first time working with a unit like this it may take some time to understand how everything works. It did come with a well written manual that is available in multiple languages.

UTILIZATION

Setting this unit up doesn’t really take much effort or work. It will only take a few minutes but learning to utilize its features may take some time if you are a new user. The MindPrint Trio has a really good compressor on it as well and this was a huge shock to me.

GETTING STARTED

There is an LED light that will be green if there is no compression, if you have a small amount of compression it will turn orange and it will turn red if there is a lot of compression just like in my DAW compressors.

OVERALL OPINION

Being that this processor is very affordable I do recommend purchasing it but there are some things I didn’t like about it. One being the talk back feature, because it was not as clean as it should have been They mine as well of just left that feature off unless they were going to make sure it had a good sound. Also the DAW connections are only on unbalanced channels. I did love how easy it was to work with the compression though, it was as easy as turning a knob and adding as much as you wanted to add. I still think it is easier to work with compression in your DAW though.

OVERALL OPINION

5 years
I I like his sins and his Swiss Army knife and compact side.
We can all do with.

For those spineless embark is "the bomb Baby".
Personally I have both USB AND SPDIF version.

The trio is a channel strip that can record one to two tracks while monitoring a return of the pc or any other machine.
will mainly use the sound recording and mixing on PC or Mac
I'm running a particular type Cubase DAW.
I use the trio as well as a dedicated multi-interface, so I used mainly for voice and the return of monitoring sessions mix.
wholesale specifications are:
1 XLR
Jack line 2entrées 6.35
A high impedance input jack 6.35 (for the live connection of guitar and bass)
An input / output jack insert 6.35 (two separate send Jack return but it's still an insert and not to)
An auxiliary RCA input
An input / output interface format Daw RCA (for those who want to enter the sound of their pc
or out the sound of the trio to the pc with another sound card)
A USB connection for communicating with the PC in digital.
2 independent headphone outputs with Stereo Jack 6.35
3 out left / right for independent monitors (1 in 6.35 Jack and 2 RCA)
A direct exit out in CAR

it is important to note that the preamp is a Class A

on the face we get:
Track 1: 48v on / off, low cut at 80hz on / off, gain, hi eq, eq low, fat (soft knee compressor), record volume, mute on / off.

Track 2: hi eq, eq low, record volume, mute on / off

direct return three volume settings: mic / instr, line, to

over all volume settings for each output

1 Talkback

the case is sturdy and machine inspires confidence in the quality of finishes.

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem except that he had to go searching for drivers on the Internet, the disc was not provided promised (Small flat for that)
the config is no problem we must think of managing the compensation setting the latency in the audio sequencer for the catch of his are in place in relation to direct monitoring.
not need the manual if you know run a basic console and pc

GETTING STARTED

Usage is just perfect for managing inputs and outputs is simple everything is provided is accessible by pressing a button.
This machine offers an ideal ergonomics for the road mix and the sound (especially the voice for a battery that's true it's a little light)

OVERALL OPINION

Mindprint offers is its know-how in analog sound with the added luxury of having an analog / digital (until 24/96) input-output stable and quality excelente
for example my first use I did not recognize the condenser microphone that I use for several years, the preamp is simply Excellent.
for that price do not hesitate even though it is true that the number of entries will determine the most home studio ...
