Album Publishing
Digital Release
Overview
Online downloadable album publishing is tending to supersede classic Audio CD production and Pyramix from V7
SP1 and later includes features intended to make the process of generating suitable files easier.
Formats supported currently:
•
FLAC (lossless compression),
•
Ogg Vorbis (lossy compression),
•
WAVE (uncompressed)
•
AIFF (uncompressed)
•
MTFF (uncompressed or lossless compression)
•
LC-AAC (lossy compression)
•
MP3-ABR (lossy compression)
Multiple formats and multiple versions of each format with different settings can begenerated simultaneously.
Album Publishing is available in four ways:.
In the
Generate CD Image window :
• As an additional output or outputs when generating a PMI CD Image from a Pyramix Timeline.
• As a stand alone Digital Release from a Pyramix Timeline.
In the separate application
DiscWrite
• As an additional output or outputs when making a disk from a PMI CD Image or DDP file.
• As a stand-alone Digital Release from a PMI CD Image or DDP file.
For users wishing to deliver high resolution files without generating a PMI CD Image (e.g. 96k, 192k-24bits FLAC/
OGG/WAV/AIFF/MTFF) from a higher than 44.1k project, the
Digital Release Target format will ensure optimal
quality throughout the processing workflow by creating a stereo mixdown (same sampling rate as project, 24 bit
resolution in MTFF format) and using this audio file as input for Album Publishing processing.
