With current technology, which of the following statement is FALSE?
- MIDI recordings can be changed in Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
- Audio recordings can not be changed in Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
- MIDI recordings can be changed in Pitch without the Tempo changing unintentionally
- Audio recordings can be changed in Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
2

Time-shifting algorithms called "Speed" or "Varispeed"...
- none of the other answers are correct
- automatically introduce random tempo variation, for a more natural quality
- shift time and pitch together, like a tape machine or turntable
- are the only algorithms that can vary the speed of an audio recordin
3

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
4

While Beat Mapping in Logic, "tapping" tempo...
- lets the engineer estimate whether the song's recorded tempo is steady enough to be Beat Mapped
- opens a dialog box which indicates the deviations from the steady Session Tempo
- records your taps into a MIDI track and uses that track to create the new Tempo Map
- none of the other answers are correct
5

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 fastest setting
- 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
6

Sound Replacement...
- 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
- All answers are correct
7

When slowing down a drum track with Elastic Audio...
- the decay of each note (slice) can be adjusted-there will always be gaps at a slower Tempo
- the decay of each note (slice) can not be adjusted to address any gaps between notes at a slower Tempo
- slowing down a drum track cannot be done with Elastic Audio if gaps would result between notes (slices)
- none of the other answers are correct
8

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
- none of the other answers are correct
- 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
9

A Spectrogram display...
- 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
- visually shows & allows editing of tonal (harmonic) components vs noise components in an audio wave
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
- All of these edits are currently possible with digital audio
- 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
11

While Beat Mapping in Pro Tools, the edit command for marking off a downbeat is:
- Cut Time
- Identify Beat
- Paste Special
- Insert Time
12

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
- is the only pitch-shifting feature that let you isolate and re-pitch an instrument from an audio recording of multiple instruments
13

Which of the following is not a time-shifting algorithm in Pro Tools?
- Monophonic
- Contrapuntal
- Polyphonic
- Rhythmic
14

Advanced Drum Replacement plug-in like Drumagog...
- can automatically add more flourishes and fills to an uninspired performance
- can track the volume levels of the original notes and trigger appropriate multisamples
- all other answers are correct
- can shift the pitches and formants of notes in the original recorded audio
15

Which of the following are edits that can only be performed in the digital domain?
- Punching in a new take in a section of a recording
- Cutting up a section of a recording
- Changing the speed (tempo) of an audio recording without the pitch changing
- None of the other answers are correct
16

Pro Tools' time-shifting feature is called:
- Sound Shift
- Region Shifting
- Elastic Audio
- Flex Time
17

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 locate the loudest portion of each "Flexed" note and compress its volume level automatically
- none of the other answers are correct
- allow you to adjust various aspects of each note, like fine tuning, drift, vibrato, level, and formant
18

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
- Quantizing the playback of an audio recording to correct sloppiness in the musical timing
19

To remove (clipping) distortion from a recording, you must...
- set the Threshold to a point at or just below the clipping point in the wave
- None of the other answers are correct
- replace the distorted sections with clean sections from elsewhere in the audio file
- re-record the performance with a lower level set at the input stage
20

Time-shifting individual notes with Elastic Audio is called:
- "scratching"the audio
- "warping" the audio
- "mashing" the audio
- "slicing" the audio
21

The process of trying to isolate background noise in a recording by "drawing it out" on a Spectrogram display is called...
- Super Processing
- Spectral Processing (Spectral Repair)
- Scope Processing
- Magic Processing (the Potter Effect)
22

When using features like Flex Pitch to create a Harmony line from a Lead vocal...
- 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
- 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
23

Cueing up for an analog tape edit by hand is called:
- Scratching-"raking the reels"
- Scrubbing-"rocking the reels"
- Strobing- "rolling the reels"
- Screeching-"driving the reels"
24

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)
25

While Beat Mapping in Logic, the command "Adjust Tempo Using Region Length & Locators"...
- forces a region to change its length to match a new Tempo set in the Tempo Ruler
- requires that a region be cut up and used as a reference for the tempo of a selected area in the Cycle Bar
- 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
