  1. I have seen the same thing happen on mine. It seems inconsistent so I didn't report until I could make sure I knew the steps to recreate it. I'm also running the latest version. I've just been double checking the effects levels in the monitors each time I setup just to make sure they aren't up too high. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't. Just haven't spent the time to figure out what triggers it yet.
  2. It's a normal knob Mike. You can gently pry it off - be gentle and patient - and it will come off. On the inside, it's just like any other knob. The first time I did this, I stuffed a small wad of paper in there. That worked for a little while but eventually, the paper compressed to the point where it didn't help. So I replaced that with a small chunk of wood. I may have read about it somewhere in this (or the old) forum.
  3. I did quite a while ago. I simply removed the knob, dropped in a small chunk of wood from a toothpick into the knob, and put it back on. It raised the know slightly from the guitar body and it engages now without any problem. It's been at least 18 months since I did this and actually forgot that I had done this until I read your post.

  4. Last night I tried a new USB device, a 64GB stick from Patriot. Recorded all four sets without a hitch.
  5. I am now using a Mac (work computer) and also noticed funnies like this. I also run a Windows VM on the Mac and I have found that if I load the SD cards (or USB sticks) only on the Windows VM, I don't have these same issues. Once I have copied the files off of the media I'm using, I completely clear them off (within Windows) before using them again and have not had any issues since then.
  6. I have 2 Kingston Digital Traveler SE9 16GB sticks. I bought them here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006W8U2WU/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1. According to some of the reviews, the write speed is nothing beyond "average". The only failure I've had with them is when we lost power in the middle of a song and the files did not get properly written. Other than that, probably 8-10 gigs so far without a problem.
  7. I'm recording 13 inputs and sometimes the main mix. I've typically only used the inputs when mixing down after the fact and not using the main mix so I don't always record that. Our sets are about 45 minutes long. I still have room left over after 2 sets, but not enough to record a 3rd. Each set takes up about 6-7GB. I've also used SD cards but they seem to be finicky. Sometimes the mixer can read them and sometimes it can't. I don't seem to have that same issue with the USB stick. That's why I have 4 SD cards with me - I never know when one was not going to work. Of course, this means that you can't use the USB input for something else - which is ok for me because I'm not. I've just ordered a 32GB USB stick to see if it will work with the mixer. That way I can't get a whole show on just one stick. So far, for me, the USB stick has been more consistent than SD cards.
  8. I've had success with a 16GB USB stick (2 of them actually). I fit 2 sets per stick - 4 sets for a complete night. I've copied files off of them, put them back in the mixer, cleared files from them from the mixer and from the a PC and have not had any issues at all. I too am loving this option!
  9. There is no link. Looks like some info on a firmware update was accidentally posted/leaked and has since been removed. We'll just have to be patient until it really does get released. The cat does appear to be out of the bag though.
  10. If it's down to opinions then... I'm in with the 1.9 crowd. I find the 2.0 versions of the Strat to have less character than the 1.9, especially with the B and high E strings. For me, there's a noticeable drop in volume on them. If that's the way it's supposed to be then so be it. I guess I'll play around with WB. I just liked the way it sounded out of the box before.
  11. I stumbled upon this myself at my most recent gig. Thanks for posting and saving me the hassle!
  12. When it comes to sound, I'm a total amateur. I know enough to get our old man cover band to sound ok in the small bars we play here in Arizona. We recently did our first show with the M20D. I still have a lot of learning to do, but here's what someone, totally unsolicited, posted on our FB page afterward: "Last night Jolie's had the great pleasure of hosting the supersonic "Rock Hawgs" . They were at full power, having fun and showing off a top notch level of musicianship. They sounded great! Jolie’s can be an acoustic challenge for the bands that appear there, and I’ve never heard any band there sound as good as the “Rock Hawgs†did last night. They had it down and dialed in. Thanks again for a rocking good time, Rock Hawgs!" I apologize for the band plugs, but... unless you live in the east valley of Phoenix, you'll never ever see us anyway :) I attribute this response to the M20D! The band was totally thrilled with the sound. We use powered monitors and a power amp to passive speakers for FOH so the only thing that has changed from previous shows is the mixer. Like I said, we're just amateurs when it comes to sound production and I got the M20D to help us out in that regard and simplify things for us. I think it did the job I expected it to do. There were many other compliments from people that night that had seen us many times before that said we sounded way better than ever. Kudos to Line 6 and the job they did with the M20D. Looking forward to actually knowing what I'm doing and sounding even better down the road!
