Why Classical Engineers Prefer Pyramix

Classical music recording has very different demands than pop or post-production work: reliability, sonic transparency, and a workflow built for long, high-resolution sessions. That’s why many classical engineers prefer Pyramix over more common DAWs like Pro Tools.

Workflow and Editing

Classical sessions require seamless editing across dozens—or even over 100—tracks, often recorded live with all musicians in one space. Pyramix’s multi-point (Source/Destination) editing makes complex edits across large track counts efficient and invisible.

Integrated Systems

Pyramix is built by Merging Technologies, who make both the software and hardware. This integration boosts reliability and reduces potential points of failure—a major advantage when recording orchestras where retakes aren’t an option.

High-Resolution Focus

With native support for DSD, DXD, and long-form recordings, Pyramix caters to the high-fidelity needs of classical engineers. Its heritage in high-end audio tools gives it an edge over DAWs designed for pop workflows.

AoIP and Network Integration

Merging’s early adoption of Audio-over-IP (e.g., RAVENNA) means large multichannel recordings can be handled over simple network cables, replacing bulky analog setups with scalable, efficient solutions.

Purpose-Built Reliability

Tools like Pro Tools excel in multitrack production, but classical recording needs different strengths: ultra-high fidelity, long uninterrupted sessions, advanced editing, and robust integrated systems. Pyramix delivers all of these.

Before your next classical session, it’s worth asking: is your DAW built for the job?
