1
MIDI data recorded on a MIDI or Instrument track in a DAW...
cannot be edited if it came from a hardware instrument
includes the audio from a virtual software instrument
includes no audio, only the performance data
includes the audio from a hardware instrument
2
A standard DAW-based studio...
must use the computer's internal microphone to record vocals
usually incorporates and audio interface
never incorporates an audio interface
must use the computer's built-in audio outputs for monitoring and playback
3
A Hybrid Studio...
would be needed to handle projects in different musical genres
would not be able to incorporate virtual instruments
would incorporate both software and hardware mixing and processing
would not be able to incorporate hardware instruments
4
An external hardware workstation...
must be connected to a DAW at all times to play its own sounds
cannot be sync'd to a DAW session
includes its own recording capabilities
cannot transfer MIDI or audio recordings into a DAW session
5
An inline hardware console design...
combines the input (recording) signal path and the monitor (playback) signal path in the same channel strip
uses two separate channel strips for the same DAW track, input and monitor
can only pass input signals to the DAW, and so can only be used for recording but not mixing
only has one signal path in each channel strip, to preserve audio quality
6
Gain-Staging refers to...
using two mics on the same sound source at different levels
using two mic preamps one after the other for the same mic
running a mic signal into two different mic preamps at the same time
maintaining the optimal signal level at all stages in the signal chain
7
A studio patchbay...
is used to save & recall the settings of hardware processors, called "patches",It's very straightforward to insert effect processors in a DAW. Adding hardware effects in the analog world requires a bit of understanding of the routings. 5,Full Hybrid Mixi
cannot be connected to a DAW interface, only to analog gear
must have a front-panel cable for every connection made through it
allows for convenient front-panel connections between all ins & outs of a mixer, interface, and processors
8
If a mix is done exclusively in the analog domain...
the DAW must be disconnected during the analog mix to preserve the analog quality
the project must be recorded on an analog multitrack recorder
the project must be pre-mixed in a DAW virtual mixer before the analog mix is done
the DAW may be used only as a multitrack recorder/editor
9
On a hardware mixer Direct Outputs or a Routing Matrix...
and intended to be used for Send & Return (parallel) processing with a reverb
allow individual mic signals to be routed to individual tracks in the DAW for recording
submix already-recorded tracks from the DAW into the master stereo mix bus
route already-recorded tracks from the DAW into the hardware (analog) mixer
10
When a hybrid mix must be resumed on another day, session recall refers to...
memorizing what instrument or vocal part is on what numbered track in both mixers
remembering what time the session is booked, so no time is wasted
remembering good mix ideas you had earlier on the production, so you can implement them in the final mix
keeping a written/graphic record of all settings made on the analog mixer and outboard gear, in case they're changed
11
What is an analog Front-End?
another name for an audio interface
a signal chain of analog processors used for recording
another name for a USB microphone
a strictly analog audio interface
12
An I/O plug-in in a DAW...
is needed for setting up a Send & Return hookup via an Aux track in a DAW
could be used to insert a hardware processor in a DAW channel strip
is how the main stereo mix is sent out the DAW to the speakers
refers to a plug-in processor that emulates analog gear
13
An Instrument track in a DAW...
records the audio from a virtual software instrument
can only be used with virtual software instruments
records the audio from a hardware instrument
records only MIDI performance data and triggers the sound live in playback
14
When doing a hybrid mix...
two separate independent mixes must be done which are then submixed together
plug-ins that emulate analog gear cannot be used if real (hardware) analog gear is in use
processing can be applied in either or both the virtual mixer (plug-ins) and hardware mixer (outboard gear)
processing can be applied in either the virtual mixer (plug-ins) or hardware mixer (outboard gear) but not in both
15
Hybrid Mixing refers to...
mixing in both a home project studio and a professional studio control room
mixing in both a DAW virtual mixer and a hardware (analog) mixer
mixing both before and after recording and tracking is finished
mixing on both speakers and headphones
16
Analog summing refers to...
running individual tracks out from a virtual DAW mix into a dedicated analog summing mixer
inserting multiple effects one after the other in the master stereo bus of a virtual mix
boosting the overall signal level of a finished virtual mix with analog hardware
taking a stereo submix of a virtual mix and adding analog effects to it
