What Pyramix is
Pyramix is a Windows digital audio workstation for music production, mastering, and television and film post-production. It can record simultaneously to two locations, use multiple multitrack recorders, and support editing while recording. Depending on the pack, it handles sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 384 kHz and DSD256 or DXD. PanNoir is designed to phase-align spot microphones with channels of a main stereo pair. The ELEMENTS pack is described for smaller studios, project workflows, podcasters, and music creators; PRO and PREMIUM provide broader capabilities. PREMIUM includes a built-in Dolby Atmos Renderer, custom immersive speaker layouts, DSD/DXD workflows, advanced mastering features, and video import and playback with final-mix wrapping. It supports VS3, VST2, VST3, and ARA2 plugins, although third-party plugins are not included.
