Pyramix Mixer Settings : Mixer
Alignment
Sets the alignment level. Displayed by the point on the scale at which the dark orange segments begin.
Peak and Overload Hold Time
Sets the amount of time in seconds that the peak segment or overload segment (topmost red segment) of
the level meter remains illuminated.
Permanent Overload
When the box is checked, the red Overload LED above a track will remain lit, even after playback is
stopped. To clear the LED, double-click it. When not checked, the Overload LED will automatically clear
itself after a few seconds and remain off until the next overload occurrence.
Note:
The overload LED will go on after one sample with the maximum level.
Permanent Peak
This parameter works in conjunction with the
Peak Level Display. When this is on (checked), the Peak
Level pop-up display will show the value and location of the highest level reached on a track up to the time
when the mouse was clicked on the meter. The level display will not be updated until the next time playback
is stopped and re-started. If it is not on (unchecked), the Peak Level Popup Display will show the highest
level reached in that track from the last time the Popup Display is activated (while playback continues). For
example, clicking a channel’s meter while playing back will display the Peak Level Popup, which will show
the peak level (and its location) reached so far. Click away from the Popup, and it will disappear. Click on
that meter again, and the Popup will appear again, this time showing the peak level/location reached since
the last time the Popup was displayed.
Decay integration time
This parameter sets the rate at which the level meter display decays after the level falls below the most
recent peak. The slope of the decay is given in terms of milliseconds per decibel (ms/dB).
Peak level indicator
Show After
When the box is checked, the
Fader/Input Level
displays located above the faders on each mixer strip dis-
play the peak level of the signal running through the corresponding mixer strip. The value are updated at
the interval set by the slider below the check box. If the check box
Show After
is off, the
Fader/Input Level
displays always show the setting of their corresponding fader.
DSD Peak Filter
For DSD projects this drop-down list offers the choice between two filtering options which will be applied to
the DSD signal before it is measured by the level meter.
This will help enable you to ensure that the DSD signal is compatible with the AES recommendations con-
cerning the high frequency dither noise content.
20k
Applies a 20 kHz low pass filter to the signal, thus only the audible audio content is measured.
40k-100k
Applies a band pass filter with a frequency range of 40 kHz to 100kHz to the signal. According to the AES
recommendation the signal level in this frequency range should not exceed -20 dB.
