none of the other answers are correct
time-shifts the playback of an audio region to match it to a Tempo set manually with the Cycle Bar
2
When a song has a varying tempo (a "rubato" performance)...
the new Beat Mapped Tempo must be the one at the beginning of the song
the song cannot be Beat Mapped
new Tempos may have to be created every bar or two, making a "Tempo Map"
the new Beat Mapped Tempo must be the average of all the different tempos in the recording
3
Formants are...
fixed resonances in a voice, that give that voice its distinctive tonal character
none of the other answers are correct
vowels that must be shifted in frequency along with the pitches of notes
syllables that contain consonants, which determine the intelligibility of a particular voice
4
Advanced Drum Replacement plug-in like Drumagog...
can shift the pitches and formants of notes in the original recorded audio
can automatically add more flourishes and fills to an uninspired performance
all other answers are correct
can track the volume levels of the original notes and trigger appropriate multisamples
5
Beat Mapping is:
Making the Session Tempo match the tempo of the performance in a recording
Labeling the different sections of a piece with names-"verse", "chorus", etc.

Time-shifting the audio in a recording to match the Session Tempo of a project
6
Pro Tools' time-shifting feature is called:
Flex Time
Elastic Audio
Region Shifting
Sound Shift
7
Melodyne's DNA (Direct Note Access)...

is the only pitch-shifting feature that let you re-pitch entire (selected) monophonic phrases
allows for only monophonic pitch shifting
is the only pitch-shifting feature that let you re-pitch individual notes within a polyphonic context
8
When using Flex Pitch in Logic, "Hot Spots"...
allow you to locate the loudest portion of each "Flexed" note and compress its volume level automatically
allow you to automatically locate any notes that do not fit in the musical scale of the current key
none of the other answers are correct
allow you to adjust various aspects of each note, like fine tuning, drift, vibrato, level, and formant
9
The process of trying to isolate background noise in a recording by "drawing it out" on a Spectrogram display is called...
Scope Processing
Super Processing
Spectral Processing (Spectral Repair)
Magic Processing (the Potter Effect)
10
While Beat Mapping in Logic, "tapping" tempo...
opens a dialog box which indicates the deviations from the steady Session Tempo
none of the other answers are correct
records your taps into a MIDI track and uses that track to create the new Tempo Map
lets the engineer estimate whether the song's recorded tempo is steady enough to be Beat Mapped
11
Which of the following is NOT a feature of Audio Repair software?
None of the other answers are correct-all of these tasks can be performed with Audio Repair software
Removing excessive ambience from a recording
Repairing distorted (clipped) audio waves
Removing background noise from a recording
12
While Beat Mapping in Pro Tools, the edit command for marking off a downbeat is:
Cut Time
Paste Special
Insert Time
Identify Beat
13
When using features like Flex Pitch to create a Harmony line from a Lead vocal...
the new harmony line will need to have a harmony note for every pitch of the original melody
the pitches of the new harmony line will always be a fixed number of semitones from the original pitches
none of the other answers are correct
the pitches of the new harmony line will usually not be a fixed interval from the original pitches
14
Which of the following MIDI-style edits still CANNOT be done with digital audio recordings?
Pitch-shifting without the tempo of the audio changing
Replacing the sound of a recorded drum (in a snare drum track) with a different drum
Time-shifting without the pitch of the audio changing
All of these edits are currently possible with digital audio
15
When doing Sound Replacement, the Threshold control is used to...
determine if the new (replacement) sound will sound any better in the track than the original
isolate the desired notes of the performance from other noises or stray notes in the recording
remove notes that are more than a set degree out of tune or not in the right key for the song
none of the other answers are correct
16
A Spectrogram display...
visually shows & allows editing of tonal (harmonic) components vs noise components in an audio wave
None of the other answers are correct
requires additional hardware to analyze & display the components of an audio wave
was a psychedelic light show that used to be popular at rock concerts in the swingin' sixties
17
Which of the following is not a time-shifting algorithm in Pro Tools?
Polyphonic
Rhythmic
Monophonic

18
Logic's Flex Tool...
automatically moves notes (slices) to the most appropriate musical division
none of the other answers are correct
automatically determines the right amount of time-shifting needed
automatically inserts Anchors when performing a Flex edit on an individual note (slice)
19
When "auto-tuning" a voice, the familiar quantized pitch (Cher or T-Pain) effect can be had by...
setting the speed (response time) of the processing to the slowest setting
setting the correct key & scale for the particular song
setting the speed (response time) of the processing to the fastest setting
setting the scale only to the "chromatic" option
20

Scratching-"raking the reels"
Strobing- "rolling the reels"

All answers are correct
22
When slowing down a drum track with Elastic Audio...
slowing down a drum track cannot be done with Elastic Audio if gaps would result between notes (slices)
the decay of each note (slice) can be adjusted-there will always be gaps at a slower Tempo
none of the other answers are correct
the decay of each note (slice) can not be adjusted to address any gaps between notes at a slower Tempo
