Hi there,
I´m new to Pyramix and I have no clue what "ripple" means. The manual mentiones a lot of ripple enabling and automating, but it never tells what exactly ripple is or does.
Any enlightenment will be much appreciated!
What is ripple?

Re: What is ripple?
When Ripple is used (or Auto-Ripple enabled), any time you select and then remove a segment of audio from the timeline, everything that followed after that point will be shifted in time to an earlier time position by the amount of time corresponding to the duration of the removed material. When Ripple is not enabled, removing a portion of audio will leave a gap in the timeline.
Alternatively, if you have Auto-Ripple enabled and insert some audio at the cursor position in the timeline, everything that follows after that point will be shifted to a later time to accommodate the inserted material. If Auto-Ripple was not enabled, the inserted material would simply overwrite whatever occupied the time following the insertion point.
While it's off-topic, it can be useful to have Auto-Cross-fade enabled when adding or removing audio clips in the timeline. This way any clips which become "butted up" to each other will automatically have your Default cross-fade applied to them. (Set up and save your Default Cross-fade values in the Fade Editor Tab.)
Pyramix is not the only DAW which uses the term "Ripple" in this way: Pro Tools, Adobe Premier, Reaper, etc. Here's a link to a Craig Anderton article on the subject:

Re: What is ripple?
fl,
Thank you so much for taking the time and explain this so elaborately!
I assumed that it's something like that, but I wasn't familiar with the term at all. I'm using Pro Tool 10 for many years, and the only similar function there is called "shuffle". I used this only once or twice.
So ripple is actually what you tried to avoid in old days when cutting film sound on a Steenbeck
Best regards

Re: What is ripple?
In Pyramix, "ripple" refers to a feature that automatically adjusts the timing and position of adjacent clips on a timeline when a clip is added, removed, or modified. When ripple is enabled, any changes made to a clip will cause the subsequent clips to shift forward or backward in time to maintain the overall timing of the sequence. This can be a helpful tool for editing and arranging clips on a timeline in a more efficient way.
It's helpful information for you.
