Overview
Projects are the top level of Pyramix organization. There are four types of Project. For most applications the one
most commonly used is the Editing Project. The second type is Digitizing Session. As the name implies this a
special type of project optimized for media acquisition.
Two further Project types, DXD Mixing Project and DSD Project are solely concerned with high-definition audio
and the production of SACD masters.
There is also the option to Load a Template. Templates are the quickest way to configure Pyramix for a specific
purpose. A wide variety of Templates are supplied with Pyramix and can also provide a basis for refining your own
'User Templates' .
You can find more information about Digitizing Sessions here: Digitizing Sessions on page 158

Backward Compatibility

Even the latest version of Pyramix is capable of saving in project formats back to V4.3. Some current features are
obviously not supported in previous versions but the Project > Save Special option offers the ability to save in all
relevant previous versions back to V4.3

Project Files

Saving a Project saves a number of files in a single compressed file. Including .pmx, .pml, .Playlist.pml, .Default-
Library.pml and .Composition.pml.
On opening a Project these files are decompressed.
These files will only be all visible in Windows Explorer when the project is open in Pyramix.
When the Project is saved these files are re-zipped into a single.pmx file and, when the Project is closed the
decompressed temporary files are deleted.
