Manual Digitizing
1. In the Media section, choose an appropriate Media Folder to which to your captured files will be saved. If you
wish to simultaneously save
Master Clip references to these Media Files into a previously created Library,
select that
Library from the Library drop-down list.
2. In the Data section, choose the appropriate Resolution (bit depth or word length) and Format (file type) for
the saved audio files. Check
One File per track ON to generate a separate file for each Track recorded. I.e. two
files for a stereo source, six for a discrete 5.1 source and so on.
3. In the Input radio button matrix, check ON for each Input you wish to record from. Also set the Sample Rate,
Input Format and Sync Source as appropriate.
4. Type in a New Take Name to name the captured files. If the Auto Increment Take Name box is checked all
subsequent takes will use the name typed in the
New Take Name field as a ‘seed’ with a numerical suffix to
denote the individual takes. E.g. Enter ‘Vocal’ as the New Take Name, check the
Auto Increment Take Name
box and record a few seconds, stop then record another few seconds. The first take will be called ‘Vocal’ and
the second ‘Vocal 2’
5. You can monitor incoming audio through the Mixer. Click on the Show/Hide Mixer icon to display the Mixer,
and set levels as appropriate.

which can be controlled by Pyramix. A machine can be selected from the
Machine drop-down list. It’s control
panel appears below the list.
