Pyramix Virtual Studio Window Orientation
The main Pyramix Virtual Studio program window is the
Pyramix Virtual Studio by Merging Technologies
win-
dow. This is the window which appears when the program is launched. It has a
Toolbar
across the top and status
information at the bottom. This main window can be resized, moved, minimized or maximized using standard
Windows tools.
The Pyramix
Project
window is always completely enclosed by the main window. A Project window only exists if a
Project is open, and appears automatically when a new Project is started. A Project window can be resized, moved,
minimized or maximized within the main window using standard Windows tools. If the Project window is opened
large enough, it will be seen to have 2 separate panels: an
Editing Panel
(top, called the
Timeline
) and a
Project
Management Panel
(bottom). Place the mouse on the dividing line between these 2 panels to move the divider
up or down, thereby giving more or less space to a given panel.
The Project Editing Panel contains the Timeline for a Project. This is the place where virtually all audio editing is
accomplished. Here audio Tracks may be created, added or deleted, and audio clips may be edited, moved, copied
or pasted.
The Project Editing Panel automatically starts with the same number of audio Tracks as there are Input Strip chan-
nels configured in the Mixer. Tracks attached to Stereo and Multi-channel strips are grouped accordingly.
The Project Management Panel has a number of tools for managing and navigating Projects. The
Tabs
at the bot-
tom of this Panel page through these tools. A single click on a Tab opens its window at the bottom of the Panel. A
double-click opens it as a floating window. Multiple windows can be open at the same time and moved anywhere
on screen. Tabs also have some more advanced productivity features. For full details please see the
