Get a mark of 80% or higher to pass this quiz!
1
A Spectrogram display...
visually shows & allows editing of tonal (harmonic) components vs noise components in an audio wave
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
None of the other answers are correct
2
Advanced Drum Replacement plug-in like Drumagog...
can shift the pitches and formants of notes in the original recorded audio
can track the volume levels of the original notes and trigger appropriate multisamples
all other answers are correct
can automatically add more flourishes and fills to an uninspired performance
3
Pro Tools' time-shifting feature is called:
Sound Shift
Flex Time
Region Shifting
Elastic Audio
4
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
isolate the desired notes of the performance from other noises or stray notes in the recording
none of the other answers are correct
5
Sound Replacement...
All answers are correct
corrects musically sloppy intonation without affecting the sound of the recorded instrument or voice
corrects musically sloppy performance timing without affecting the sound of the recorded instrument(s)
replaces notes in an audio recording with triggered notes from a (hopefully better-sounding) virtual instrument
6
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
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
requires that a region be cut up and used as a reference for the tempo of a selected area in the Cycle Bar
7
Which of the following is NOT a feature of Audio Repair software?
Removing excessive ambience from a recording
Removing background noise from a recording
Repairing distorted (clipped) audio waves
None of the other answers are correct-all of these tasks can be performed with Audio Repair software
8
Which of the following are edits that can only be performed in the digital domain?
Changing the speed (tempo) of an audio recording without the pitch changing
Punching in a new take in a section of a recording
None of the other answers are correct
Cutting up a section of a recording
9
Which of the following is not a time-shifting algorithm in Pro Tools?
Contrapuntal
Polyphonic
Rhythmic
Monophonic
10
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
none of the other answers are correct
slowing down a drum track cannot be done with Elastic Audio if gaps would result between notes (slices)
11
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
replace the distorted sections with clean sections from elsewhere in the audio file
None of the other answers are correct
re-record the performance with a lower level set at the input stage
12
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
Labeling the different sections of a piece with names-"verse", "chorus", etc.
Making the Session Tempo match the tempo of the performance in a recording
13
While Beat Mapping in Pro Tools, the edit command for marking off a downbeat is:
Paste Special
Cut Time
Identify Beat
Insert Time
14
Time-shifting algorithms called "Speed" or "Varispeed"...
automatically introduce random tempo variation, for a more natural quality
are the only algorithms that can vary the speed of an audio recordin
none of the other answers are correct
shift time and pitch together, like a tape machine or turntable
15
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
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 re-pitch entire (selected) monophonic phrases
16
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)
17
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
18
While Beat Mapping in Logic, "tapping" 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
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
19
Formants are...
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
fixed resonances in a voice, that give that voice its distinctive tonal character
none of the other answers are correct
20
When a song has a varying tempo (a "rubato" performance)...
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 one at the beginning of the song
the new Beat Mapped Tempo must be the average of all the different tempos in the recording
21
With current technology, which of the following statement is FALSE?
MIDI recordings can be changed in Pitch without the Tempo changing unintentionally
Audio 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 Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
22
The process of trying to isolate background noise in a recording by "drawing it out" on a Spectrogram display is called...
Magic Processing (the Potter Effect)
Scope Processing
Super Processing
Spectral Processing (Spectral Repair)
23
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 speed (response time) of the processing to the fastest setting
setting the correct key & scale for the particular song
setting the scale only to the "chromatic" option
24
What advanced capability is still not really possible, but might be on the horizon?
None of the other answers are correct
The ability to correctly predict the future popularity of a song with its target audience
The ability to improve the musical performances in a recording by analyzing a better song and applying it as a template
The ability to extract individual instruments from a stereo mix (single audio file)
25
Cueing up for an analog tape edit by hand is called:
Scratching-"raking the reels"
