Copying to a USB Drive
The MixPre-10T supports automatic copying of active projects from its SD card
to a USB thumbdrive inserted into its USB-A port. This handy feature is great
for fast hand-off copies to a client as well as for backup purposes. All you need
to do is insert a USB thumbdrive, and MixPre-10T will handle the rest.
When the USB thumbdrive is inserted, it will automatically mirror the current
project being recorded to the SD card. Even metadata edits to previously
recorded files, are automatically updated on the USB thumbdrive.
Automatic copying starts when you finish recording a file, even if you start
recording or playing another file. This reduces copy lag. At the end of a day’s
shoot, you’ll typically only have to wait for the last recorded file to finish
copying.
You can also manually copy previous projects by using the Project Copy feature.
L
Sound Devices highly recommends only using approved USB thumbdrives for
reliable operation. For more information, see the MixPre Series list at:
