Before Recording
Check Sync
Before attempting to record any audio please check Pyramix and the audio source(s) are synchronized as you
intend.
I/O Status Window
The I/O status window can be opened by clicking in the
Sync: xxxxx
section of the Status bar (bottom right of the
main Pyramix window. (the
XXX
’s are the current sync source)
This window shows useful information about the input and synchronization status of Pyramix.
Input sources
Green lights show the presence of a valid digital signal (This does not necessarily mean, that the sampling rate of
this input matches the current clock source of Pyramix). When the red light is on and steady, Pyramix is using this
input as it’s clock reference and is successfully locked up.
Default Clock Source
If Pyramix is set up to lock to an external clock source but cannot get a valid signal from this source, it will switch to
Internal clock. The red light associated with
Internal
will be on, and the red light associated with the intended
clock source will be blinking.
Sampling Rate Mismatch
If Pyramix is set up to lock to an external clock source and the sampling rate set in the Virtual Studio Mixer does
not match the sampling rate of the clock source, the green light associated with the clock source will be on, but
the red light will be blinking showing the sampling rate mismatch.
