1
Beat Mapping is:
Time-shifting the audio in a recording to match the Session Tempo of a project
Quantizing the playback of an audio recording to correct sloppiness in the musical timing
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.
2
Time-shifting algorithms called "Speed" or "Varispeed"...
shift time and pitch together, like a tape machine or turntable
automatically introduce random tempo variation, for a more natural quality
none of the other answers are correct
are the only algorithms that can vary the speed of an audio recordin
3
Melodyne's DNA (Direct Note Access)...
is the only pitch-shifting feature that let you isolate and re-pitch an instrument from an audio recording of multiple instruments
is the only pitch-shifting feature that let you re-pitch entire (selected) monophonic phrases
is the only pitch-shifting feature that let you re-pitch individual notes within a polyphonic context
allows for only monophonic pitch shifting
4
When using features like Flex Pitch to create a Harmony line from a Lead vocal...
the pitches of the new harmony line will usually not be a fixed interval from the original pitches
the new harmony line will need to have a harmony note for every pitch of the original melody
none of the other answers are correct
the pitches of the new harmony line will always be a fixed number of semitones from the original pitches
5
What advanced capability is still not really possible, but might be on the horizon?
The ability to improve the musical performances in a recording by analyzing a better song and applying it as a template
The ability to correctly predict the future popularity of a song with its target audience
The ability to extract individual instruments from a stereo mix (single audio file)
None of the other answers are correct
6
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 scale only to the "chromatic" option
setting the correct key & scale for the particular song
setting the speed (response time) of the processing to the fastest setting
7
Which of the following is not a time-shifting algorithm in Pro Tools?
Monophonic
Polyphonic
Contrapuntal
Rhythmic
8
Which of the following is NOT a feature of Audio Repair software?
Repairing distorted (clipped) audio waves
None of the other answers are correct-all of these tasks can be performed with Audio Repair software
Removing excessive ambience from a recording
Removing background noise from a recording
9
When doing Sound Replacement, the Threshold control is used to...
remove notes that are more than a set degree out of tune or not in the right key for the song
determine if the new (replacement) sound will sound any better in the track than the original
none of the other answers are correct
isolate the desired notes of the performance from other noises or stray notes in the recording
10
Which of the following MIDI-style edits still CANNOT be done with digital audio recordings?
Time-shifting without the pitch of the audio changing
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
All of these edits are currently possible with digital audio
11
While Beat Mapping in Logic, "tapping" tempo...
opens a dialog box which indicates the deviations from the steady Session Tempo
lets the engineer estimate whether the song's recorded tempo is steady enough to be Beat Mapped
none of the other answers are correct
records your taps into a MIDI track and uses that track to create the new Tempo Map
12
While Beat Mapping in Pro Tools, the edit command for marking off a downbeat is:
Identify Beat
Cut Time
Insert Time
Paste Special
13
When using Flex Pitch in Logic, "Hot Spots"...
allow you to automatically locate any notes that do not fit in the musical scale of the current key
allow you to adjust various aspects of each note, like fine tuning, drift, vibrato, level, and formant
none of the other answers are correct
allow you to locate the loudest portion of each "Flexed" note and compress its volume level automatically
14
Time-shifting individual notes with Elastic Audio is called:
"warping" the audio
"slicing" the audio
"scratching"the audio
"mashing" the audio
15
A Spectrogram display...
requires additional hardware to analyze & display the components of an audio wave
visually shows & allows editing of tonal (harmonic) components vs noise components in an audio wave
None of the other answers are correct
was a psychedelic light show that used to be popular at rock concerts in the swingin' sixties
16
With current technology, which of the following statement is FALSE?
Audio recordings can not be changed in Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
Audio recordings can be changed in Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
MIDI recordings can be changed in Pitch without the Tempo changing unintentionally
MIDI recordings can be changed in Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
17
Cueing up for an analog tape edit by hand is called:
Strobing- "rolling the reels"
Screeching-"driving the reels"
Scratching-"raking the reels"
Scrubbing-"rocking the reels"
18
When a song has a varying tempo (a "rubato" performance)...
the new Beat Mapped Tempo must be the average of all the different tempos in the recording
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"
19
The process of trying to isolate background noise in a recording by "drawing it out" on a Spectrogram display is called...
Scope Processing
Spectral Processing (Spectral Repair)
Magic Processing (the Potter Effect)
Super Processing
20
Pro Tools' time-shifting feature is called:
Elastic Audio
Sound Shift
Flex Time
Region Shifting
21
To remove (clipping) distortion from a recording, you must...
None of the other answers are correct
replace the distorted sections with clean sections from elsewhere in the audio file
set the Threshold to a point at or just below the clipping point in the wave
re-record the performance with a lower level set at the input stage
22
Formants are...
syllables that contain consonants, which determine the intelligibility of a particular voice
none of the other answers are correct
vowels that must be shifted in frequency along with the pitches of notes
fixed resonances in a voice, that give that voice its distinctive tonal character
23
Logic's Flex Tool...
none of the other answers are correct
automatically determines the right amount of time-shifting needed
automatically moves notes (slices) to the most appropriate musical division
automatically inserts Anchors when performing a Flex edit on an individual note (slice)
24
Advanced Drum Replacement plug-in like Drumagog...
all other answers are correct
can automatically add more flourishes and fills to an uninspired performance
can shift the pitches and formants of notes in the original recorded audio

25
Sound Replacement...
All answers are correct
corrects musically sloppy performance timing without affecting the sound of the recorded instrument(s)
corrects musically sloppy intonation without affecting the sound of the recorded instrument or voice
replaces notes in an audio recording with triggered notes from a (hopefully better-sounding) virtual instrument
