Recording
When an SD card or USB hard drive is plugged into the M20d, it is possible to record
20 channels of audio to the SD card or hard drive and play them back. This includes 16
Input channels, the stereo Aux inputs, and the Main Mix output.
The Main Mix includes all processing, but the other 18 channels are pre-fader pre-
processing. They will play back through the M20d’s channels, so parameter adjustments
can be made in real time.
Transport Controls
With SD/USB Media present, the M20d transport controls include the standard Play,
Stop and Record buttons. Play is only available when a recording is selected.
