Editing in the TimelineThe Timeline is the place in Pyramix where audio clips can be edited, faded up and down and otherwise arrangedinto a mono, stereo or multi-channel digital audio Composition.A Project Editing Panel containing the Timeline will be visible as soon as you open a Project.The Fade Editor provides elegant alternative methods of viewing and adjusting the parameters of edits in theTimeline.Clips and CompositionsClips in a CompositionAs with clips in a Media Drive or Library, clips in a Composition are just pointers to the original audio MediaFile. Any actions performed on a clip in a Composition will affect neither the original audio Media File, nor theMaster Clip in the Media Folder or Library it came from. In the Project Editing Panel, a clip can be edited, shortened,split into 2 clips, moved, level controlled, deleted, etc., and all actions will ONLY affect the Composition.Once placed in the Composition, each clip by default displays a Waveform of the Media file to which it points. ThisWaveform display can be enabled or disabled by the user.Sample Rate MismatchPyramix allows clips of any supported sample rate to be placed in the Timeline. Clips that do not match the Projectsample rate are converted ‘on-the-fly’ to the project sampling rate. To help avoid inadvertent placing of clips thatdo not match the project sample rate the waveform in such clips appears in a different color, by default, blue:Sample Rate MismatchNote: Each clip’s assumed sample rate is determined by information contained in the fileheader. If this information is incorrect (as with certain DAR files) the clips will not playback at the correct speed or pitch.Please see also: DAR WAV file Import on page 65Editing : Editing in the Timeline 8 - 111
