I've spent today messing about with a MixPre3 sound recorder. There is a long and very tedious story bout these recorders. Back in the chaos what was 2018, when the three managers of the department were on long term leave for personal reasons, 25 of these sound recorders were purchased. They are excellent machines in terms or recording quality, but more complex than performing spaghetti origami. So for a year these behemoths have sat gathering dust as we didn't know how to get them operational in field situations. Not being waterproof, normal AA batteries lasting 15 minutes, and a very complex set up all put paid to that. And I just didn't have time to get these working. Fast forward a year and finally I've had a few day to sit down and work out how to operate these simply. It was simple in the end. These machines have two settings, Advanced (complex and best avoided) and Basic... switch on and record. Now why didn't I think of that in 2018......
