Copying to a USB Drive
The MixPre-10M supports automatic copying of active projects from its SD card 
to a formatted USB thumbdrive inserted into its USB-A port. This handy feature 
is great for fast hand-o copies to a music producer as well as for backup 
purposes. 
You can also manually copy previous projects. 
For more information, see Copying Projects and Formatting SD Cards & USB 
Thumbdrives.
 L Sound Devices highly recommends only using approved USB thumbdrives for 
reliable operation. For more information, see the MixPre Series list at:
