Merging Technologies has released Pyramix 16, bringing a major upgrade to its digital audio workstation with audio innovations, Dolby Atmos workflows and expanded compatibility.
Pyramix 16 is available in three versions – Elements, Pro and Premium – enhancing each tier’s capabilities, features, performance and integration options while maintaining the clear workflow distinctions.
Developed in collaboration with recording engineer/producer Jean-Daniel Noir, PanNoir rethinks how spot microphones blend with a main stereo pair. Traditional DAWs rely on level differences when panning spot mics, often resulting in phase issues and compromised stereo imaging. PanNoir solves this by introducing both level and time of arrival differences, respecting how sound reaches a main stereo microphone pair and, ultimately, how human hearing works.
Pyramix Premium includes a built-in Dolby Atmos Renderer supporting loudspeaker configurations up to 9.1.6 and binaural for headphones. This also includes Live Re-Renders, enabling loudness measurements with the Pyramix Final Check meter. This integration reduces set-up complexity and accelerates production time.
Pyramix 16 also delivers notable performance improvements engineered in close collaboration with users and new I/O capacities. The added Parallels Desktop support effectively brings Pyramix a step closer to macOS, allowing Mac users to run Pyramix alongside their native applications with far greater convenience.
‘Thanks to invaluable feedback from our customers and the dedication of our team, we are proud to deliver a new version that we believe is focused on what our users specialise in – capturing great music and delivering it to a wide audience in the best possible way,’ says Product Manager Maurice, Engler.
