Hi, Have you turned on "All settings>Application>Editing>Drag&Drop>Auto Crossfade by default - Control Key for Drag&Drop" ?? If that's the case, snapping is disabled. You can temporarily turn it on by pressing CRTL and then drag a clip. Best regards, Øystein Halvorsen NRK

Hi, We have done some 100+ track recordings on a 2xMADI card system and Pyramix v.5. Use PMF file format. Depending on your disk situation you should consider recording interleaved if you have a Raid5 system and fast SATA disks. There is less strain on the disk recording interleaved PMF. If you reco...

Hi, I have made a couple of macros for this purpose: Make a global split on all tracks: Select All Split at cursor Deselect All Split a clip (or a clip group) only on the selected track: Select clips under cursor Split at cursor Deselct All "Select clips under cursor" only selects the clip...

Hi, There is actually an option to punch in without preroll. Hidden in the menu Internal Machine>Punch> you have the option to "Punch Selection" with no preroll (CTRL+NUM DESIMAL)or punch selection with preroll#1 (SHIFT+NUM DESIMAL), preroll#2 or preroll#3. You have to have a selection spa...

Hi,

Maybe this is too simple, but if you disable auto punch recording, the recording starts wherever you place the play cursor and you can forget the Mark In-Out )

Hi, We had a problem with "audio engine drop" happening exactly every hour after booting the PC! This made an audible dropout in the recording and was really annoying. The audio engine drop occured even if the Pyramix was not playing or recording. We tried just about everything to get rid ...

Hi Tim, I have also searched Pyramix for a way to set record pre-roll but haven't found any. It seems like Pyramix lacks this feature. I believe the 3 second preroll you get if the play cursor is located after Mark In is a default preroll that you cannot change. I haven't found anywhere to alter it....

Further tesiting shows that if I make an empty track in the EDL assigned to the same channel strip as the metronome, the problem with the metronome sound muting disappears. I did a session yesterday with over 20 songs containing different meter and tempo settings and did not have any problem with th...

Hi, It seems like the metronome sound disappears if you select or de-select any track or a strip while playing, regardless of which strip the metronome is assigned to. If you adjust a fader on the mixer other that the fader on the strip assigned to the metronome sound, the metronome dies. Workaround...

This is an old request but still very useful:
- Select clips by color!

- I miss the option to sort columns descending in the Media Management, EDL and Library tab. At the moment you can only sort each column ascending.

Hi, Use Project>Render>Source>Selection (Split by Groups). Choose file format, bit resolution and a destination for the rendered clips. All clips that are grouped in a clip group will be rendered as one clip. I agree that the Project>Convert dialog box should include an option for bit resolution. Re...

Hi Lucas, You can add plug-ins to the rendering process in the Render dialog box>Render Process. Unfortunately the option "Selection (Split by Groups)" does not work when you add i.e an Effects Rack VST plug-in. All clips in your selection will be rendered to one clip/file. You can not add...

Hi, If you haven't made any mixer automation, use Project>Render. 1. Make sure that all clips that are to be exported as a single file are clip grouped. 2. Select all clips that you want to export. 3. Open File>Render 4. Make sure that Source>Selection (Split by Groups) is chosen 5. Choose your dest...

Hi, This is probably due to a bug in SP3 which I notified Merging about a month ago. If you record or import non-pmf files, the peak level is not automatically calculated. This leads to wild levels when normalizing. You can check if the peak level is calculated by opening the properties window for t...
