Merging Pyramix - Non Real-Time Mixdown

Project Processes : Mixing Down Projects

Max. Gain change
The drop-down list offers a choice of maximum allowable gain change to be applied
by the processing.
A measurement report will be displayed after the Mixdown process.
The measurement report is available in a Log file in the same location as the Mixdown media file(s).
Post-Processing
Keep in default library When checked the resultant mixed down file(s) will be placed in the Default Library
Place in timeline
When checked the resultant mixed down file(s) will be placed in the Timeline
Place in VCube When checked the resultant mixed down file(s) will be placed in new Tracks in the
VCube Timeline automatically. All pre-existing audio Tracks are removed. See also
below.
Controllers
Offline Controllers When checked Hardware Controllers will be switched Offline automatically for the
duration of the Mix Down. If the box is left unchecked it is possible to use the Hard-
ware Controller for changing Monitor volume etc. or to fade out.
Notes on ‘Place in VCube’
The following notes apply when VCube is running in the same machine as Pyramix, OR when VCube is running on
a different machine and it's network name has been properly set in :
Pyramix > All Settings > Remote Control > Virtual Transport > VCube Options > Associated VCube network
name
.
(For a
PyraCube, I.e. a Pyramix & VCube combo system, the associated VCube network name must remain blank)
Important! If using the Post-Processing Place in VCube function with separate standalone machines.
I.e. a Pyramix and a VCube the Mix Down Destination Folder must be mounted as a network path, e.g.
\\server\sharedisk\folder\file.pmf. The files must be accessible from both machines using the same net-
work name.
Typically the share name of a disk can be seen differently from both machines if not set correctly, e.g. one
can see e:\media\file and the other see \\machine\shared\media\file in such case Pyramix cannot trans-
late the name for the VCube.
Non Real-Time Mixdown
Note: In Pyramix, non real-time mixdowns introduce no degradation whatsoever and are a con-
siderable aid to productivity since they are usually (much) faster than real-time.
