Scope
Pyramix has a dedicated
Monitor
section. This extremely powerful tool offers comprehensive monitoring
facilities including summing and downmixing for all supported formats. External Machine Inputs, comprehe-
sive Talkback, Foldback and External Metering are also supported depending on your system specification.
The
Monitor
presents monitor outputs of all buses present in the current Mixer as sources. It is also possi-
ble to configure external sources both for recorder returns and for talkback. Sources can be summed for
monitoring without affecting the Mixer bus outputs. This is useful, for example, when you need to listen to a
guide track while recording.
You do not have to use the
Monitor
and disabling it will save DSP power but, with complex Mixers and
routing, the Monitor helps to keep things logical.
The monitor is also used to output the audio signal from the audition function of the Media Manager and
Libraries as an unformatted input. (I.e. Routed to LRC in a Surround 5.1 Speaker Set and to LR in a Stereo
one)
By default the
Monitor
window is hidden. It can be opened with
View > Monitor
or the
icon in the
View
Toolbar.
The Monitor has four pages: a Main
Monitor !
page in normal operation, a
Configure
page for setting up
and two further pages for configuring
Externals
(machines) and
Talkback
.
