Special rules for Wave/BWF and AIFF files containing OMF information:Never mount Wave/BWF files as OMFNever mount AIFF files as OMFShow ProTools Wave/BWF files with ‘Enforced Avid Compatibility’ as OMFSpecial rules for cache file decompressionWhen compressed audio files are mounted Pyramix creates an uncompressed WAV version of the file(s) in a cache.The location of these cache files is determined by this dialog.Locally (by the original) File(s) will be created in the same location as the original file.Sub-locally (by the original, in a \MTDXCache sub folder). File(s) will be created in a sub folder created by Pyramixin the same location as the original file.Custom (files are generated to the specified location). File(s) will be created in a user specified location. Whenthis option is selected the Browse... button is available to open a file browser window to set the user defined path.Enable enables the rule.Allow cache files mounting when ticked, cache files can be mounted directly, otherwise they remain invisible, i.e.filtered out of Media Manager views.OptionsAlso apply this rule to all sub-foldersRefresh immediatelyDAR WAV file ImportIt seems that DAR systems were strange in that they always played audio at 48khz. Even if 44.1khz audiowas imported into a DAR, it would be converted to 48khz. The sample rate and bit-depth information inthe WAV files was ignored as everything was assumed to be 16-bit/48khz. We've seen WAV files fromDAR systems where the WAV files were identified as containing 128-bit audio or having a 10hz samplerate. So it would seem there must have been a bug in the DAR software that caused incorrect data to bestored in the WAV header. There is already code in the Pyramix WAV handler to try to catch these completelyinvalid parameters but, unfortunately, the WAV files from DAR don't include any manufactureridentifier so it isn't simply a case of identifying that they are from a DAR and automatically forcing themto 48khz in Pyramix.Offline / Reference LibrariesAs the name implies Offline/Reference Libraries are useful for keeping track of very large projects and materialon media that may not be permanently on-line.Creating Offline/Reference LibrariesOffline libraries are created in the Media Management Tab Window by selectingMedia Folder > Create Offline/Reference Library.Media Management : Offline / Reference Libraries 4 - 65
