Hi, Yes, format it Fat32 using a SD card reader in your PC/Mac. It's also recommended to use 32 Gig cards instead of 64 Gig. Hope this helps.

Good to hear. Update is just downloading :)

Hello Line6 Support Team, just wanted to know if the IPad app is already tested with iOS8 and if I can install version 8 next week without having troubles with the M20d remote app?

Hi all, I was just thinking about how the Ipad App for the M20D could get somewhat better. What about if the Ipad App could accept something like midi program changes on the Ipad or an Audiobus Signal, so, that when you have a setlist app for all your songs and you go and flip to the next the M20 automatically changes the scene to the corresponded song. Without having to sort all the scenes on the M20. Would love to see something like this. Just imagine: You flip the lyrics on your set list app, the M20D changes the scene and all your lights switch to the right mood.. all your devices are set up by just one click or tap :)

Hi all, I´m just experimenting with the best channel strip Setting for my bass cajon. Just imagine my bass cajon is a double sized cajon mounted to a plate and played with a special foot pedal like a bass drum. Right now I placed a bass drum Micro (Shure pg52) on a stand in front of the other side of the cajon just like you would do with a normal bass drum. I´m using the Country bass drum channel strip. Somehow I don´t feel like I´m getting the kick I would like to have. Has anyone suggestions on how I can improve the sound? Maybe by using the Cajon preset instead of a bass drum one or placing the mic right at the foot pedal side pointing it to the Point where the pedal hits the cajon? I don´t Need the high slap Sound because I use two cajons (devided to the bass cajon played by foot and a Cajinto used like a snare (where I´m satisfied with the Sound using a snare preset, just not satisfied with the tbone CD35 mic (cheapest you can get out there :)), have to replace it soon also to a shure, maybe pg56 or SM57)

Sorry, but I strongly disagree. It´s not just a Line6 related Problem. It´s with nearly every vendor who sells electronics. Some odd pieces just passed (however) Quality control and go into the stores, and if you unpack them they are DOA. Sure, you would expect functional devices, but this can happen and happens to all eletronic manufacturers. Sometimes DOA devices are not to blame on the manufacturer where the device was working just fine when it was wrapped in parcels, but on the Transportation Company or even the retailer. In my Company you can bet up to 5 out of 100 Laptops from HP are DOA devices that have to be replaced. One time we had 30 out 40 Workstations where the Mainboard fell of the case and damaged graphic Cards and CPUs. I even had devices which I bought at the local electronic market that where just doing nothing when I switched them on so I had to drive to the market again to swap them for a working device.

Yes, spare is always a good idea :) Every now and then you can make a good catch of SD cards at Amazon on their daylie offers. Just bought a 2-pack of Trancend 32 GB Class 10 micro SD Cards with adaptor for 20 Euros a few days ago. I´m going to use them as spares for gigs.

Hi Scott, from what you describe I also think it´s a defective file/file system. If the file itself is corrupt you will expirience the same error message at the same point even if you have copied it to another SD card. If it´s the file system it should be fine after copying. Are you using a 32 Gig SDHC card? I always format the SD card before new recording sessions or gigs before I put it into the M20d.

Hi, there was a firmware update for the relay guitar packs to address a wireless connection issue on the M20d. Don´t know if this will also help out here, but you might also want to try a firmware update on the wireles mic receivers. Just a shot in the dark, but maybe worth a try.

Just as an idea: Do you have noise gates on your preset for channel one and maybe have it set too high? This was something I was struggeling with at my last gig. Thought 2 Inputs where dead, but afterwards it turned out that the gates were set too high for the channels (where the Setting was just fine from the gig before when I loaded the Setup again for that gig). Anyway: My fault and no Hardware issue on my side. Fortunate enough.

Hi, personally I think you don´t have to do exactly what is described in the manual.It doesn´t matter if you go guitar => effect board => M20d or guitar => DI or even Combo => Mic => M20d. The M20d has so much possibilities and presets you can play with, no matter how you connect your guitars to it. Though, haven´t tried it myself, but I think you can even go guitar => M20d and have a quite reasonable sound for gigs. The whole system is really versatile. Most important is that you (and your audience) are satisfied with the sound :)

Thanks, that´s the Kind of way I thought of. :)

Hi, it depends on what you are looking for. If you just need hoods or covers you can find tons of custom made covers for the whole L-Family at ebay. At least I found 4 different vendors of custom made covers at ebay a few weeks ago. I don´t know if there´s anything out there which compares to the Line6 bags, if you are looking for a real "bag". I find the Line6 ones real clever and robustly designed and they fit perfectly. Don´t know if you find anything compareable for a reasonable price out there. If you find a good one, I don´t think they will be much cheaper then the original ones. I went with the original bags when I bought my L3´s.

Hello, fellow M20d users :) I was just thinking on how I can achieve a short "effect shot" on the M20d without having a sound guy turning the effect on and off or switching Scenes during a song. I´m trying to do the following: For one song I need a long reverb on my percussion kit, just for 3-4 strokes on the intro, then I want to return to "normal operations" or better said my normal global settings for the groove of the song. I don´t have anybody who could turn the reverb on during the gig with the IPad, nor do I want to Switch Scens during the running song. My thought was that I maybe can "route" the reverb to an empty Encoder/channel and then just unmute this channel for the intro and mute it afterwards. Is there a way I can achive this with the M20d somehow? Yeah, I know I can turn on and off the effect on the channel myself, but I don´t want to switch away from the perform screen. So, I need to find a way to push just a button or encoder on the perform screen to turn on or off the reverb for the percussion kit.

If I remember correctly someone wrote the sends are post gain (=>post "auto-trim") and pre effects chain when unlinked, so without any compressors, eq´s etc. But I might be wrong.
