1
Where are the two places that you can assign convolution reverb in Ghostwriter?
in the Player window, and the FX section of the mixer on the master bus
on individual mixer channels, and in the browser area
in the articulations area and the browser
in the browser and in the articulations screen
2
What is the main focus of the Ra sound library?
Ra is a collection of stringed instruments from different regions of the Nile
The Ra library is a collection of multi-sampled instruments from around the world focusing on the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and India
The Ra library is primarily a collection of Egyptian instruments from the Middle East
Ra is a collection of cinematic sound design to be used in film, games, and TV
3
How do you use the ‘Elements' version of the Telecaster library?
In the Player, you need to select which articulations to use for the instrument. These can be blended in creative ways.
The elements are selected via mod wheel.
The elements are selected via mod wheel and velocity.
The elements are selected via keyswitching.
4
What does DI stand for?
Direct Interface
Direct Input
Direct Interface
Dominant Intonation
5
What is one of the ways that Middle Eastern instruments differ from similar western counterparts?
Color and weight
They are not different at all. This is a western presumption
Intonation and Character
Played in a ‘Di Gamba' style, rather than under the chin
6
What is the main difference between the Master channel Strip effects and the other channel strips?
The master channel strip is where the convolution reverb and bus compressor are located
The master channel strip has no effects. Only the individual channel strips have effects
The master channel strip is where the multiband compressor is located
The master channel strip is a VCA fader, unlike the individual channel strips
7
What is the Mod wheel most frequently assigned to in Ra?
The Mod wheel is frequently used to change the filter cutoff dynamically
The mod wheel is usually assigned to the LFO speed
The Mod Wheel is usually assigned to pitch
8
What are the ‘J37' Channel strips in ProDrummer?
The J37 was a specific german microphone that was used to record certain drum elements. Often described as a ‘condenser that sounds like a dynamic mic'.
They were designed by Joe Chiccarelli as drum elements that had been recorded to tape. These elements should be used instead of the clean elements if wanted, for they may cause phase issues due to wow and flutter.
The J37 Denotes the type of drum shell that is being used. It is from Joe's custom Maple kit that he brought into EastWest for his sessions.
The J37 channel strips are to be used in conjunction with the other channel strips as a resonating membrane. Sympathetic reverberation is provided by a mathematical model of a 2 dimensional membrane
9
What causes a frame drum to sound more prominent in the mid-range rather than deep and resonant?
Playing with a muting hand
Playing near the edge
Playing with a plain strike
Dampening the head with tape
10
In MOR2, what are ‘performances'?
Performances are actual riffs played by real guitar players on the instrument that is featured in the MOR2 library.
Performances are mixer snapshots that are cycled through as you play a guitar library. These snapshots are used to automate a mix.
Performances in MOR2 are a new Multi-timbral mode used for playing multiple guitars at once.
Performances are used as a real-time capture tool for getting a scratch track from a played lick that was never meant to be recorded. Play is always listening. ALWAYS.
11
What is mid-side processing?
Mid-Side processing is an imaging process that is created when some audio from the left and right channel is selectively swapped to create a more compelling stereo image
Mid-Side processing was used in the ‘60s to emulate the effect of a player double-tracking their part to tape to create a more interesting stereo effect
Mid-side processing is when the center speaker in an LCR speaker array can be used to accentuate the panning of a sound from left to right. This is achieved by attenuating the amplitude of a signal as it passed through the center speaker.
Mid-Side processing is a process where the audio material that is exactly the same between the left and right channel is separated from the content that is different in both channels to be processed independently
12
What effects are most commonly found in the Player regardless of library? (Excluding ProDrummer)
Reverb, Filter, and an amp envelope
Delay, Modulation, LFO
Chorus, Flanger and Phaser
Articulations, Distortion, and Spectral Delay
13
What is legato ‘sensing'?
Legato sensing automatically changes note end values to engage legato mode.
Legato will activate legato when 2 notes are held simultaneously and disengage when one of the notes is released.
Legato sensing is only engaged when you extend the note offs of your performance so that the notes are overlapping by 400 ticks or more.
Legato sensing is an intelligent script that decides whether or not to engage legato mode depending on the performance of the composer.
14
What is preset morph?
Preset Morph is a modulation matrix where various modulators may be assigned to parameter values
Preset morph allows you to switch between different snapshots of Ohmicide, smoothly transitioning from one snapshot setting to another
Preset morph allows for the randomization of Ohmicide's settings via an XY pad
Preset Morph is a way of altering the settings of Ohmicide over time using an envelope
15
What is different about the drums in Ministry of Rock 2 vs. the other libraries we have seen in the course?
The MOR2 drum kits are jazz kits that were intentionally played in a rock manner.
The MOR 2 drums are recorded in an abandoned nuclear power plant. How metal is that?
The MOR2 drums were mixed by Lars Ulrich of Metallica.
The drums have a small, simple mixer in the Player area.
16
In the J160 instruments, what does the keyswitching provide the player?
Down Strums
Strumming vs. picking
Different Chord types
Up Strums
17
What is ‘Beating'?
Beating is when 2 notes are very close in pitch and playing at nearly the same amplitude. The difference between the tones is represented by a perceptible wobble in amplitude and frequency, especially in low tones.
Beating is a method of playing drums by hitting the drum with a cold fish.
Beating is something that happens in water based precision with the water is over-filled, causing a noticeable perspiration on the outside of the instrument.
Beating is a way of adding harmonics to a sound by hitting a drum while playing a tone on a pitched instrument.
18
When using the African drums in Ra, how are the different drums laid out in the keyboard?
The higher frequency elements are usually found in the the higher octaves, including stick effects. The lower octaves are usually lower pitched drum elements.
The drums are laid out in a chromatic fashion, low drums on black keys and higher pitched elements on white keys.
The drums are laid out in a tritone starting from C. Each ensuing white note on the keyboard has a tritone family member that plays the round robin articulation of the instrument type.
The drums are laid out according to the General MIDI protocol for drum set.
19
How do you add the Ra library to the Play engine?
In the finder window, find the Ra Play engine icon. Under ‘Services', add the Ra library to the Play engine.
Located the System Menu item for the Play engine, click on it, then choose the library from the dropdown menu.
Open a browser, locate soundsonline.com, and add your library under ‘Installations and Registration'. A window will pop up asking for your administrative password. Enter your password and the Play engine will see the library.
Control-click in the lower left library area in the browser window, and add the library location.
20
What is legato scripting?
Legato scripting is a way to adjust the attack and release of a given instrument to indicate that an instrument is being either bowed or plucked.
Legato scripting is a coding language developed by East West for the Play engine to automatically call out the articulations that are happening at any given moment and feed that into the DAW of choice.
Legato scripting is used to add latin nomenclature to an instrument for orchestration purposes, even if the instrument is from the Middle East, india, or the Far East.
Ra has the ability to analyze a performance by the composer and determine when a note needs to be re-triggered. When legato mode is engaged, the instrument will glide between note seamlessly with no retriger.
21
How can you force legato mode on in the Les Paul libraries?
De-select the ‘triggered legato' button in the Player.
Choose ‘Force Legato' from the main menu.
Choose the legato articulations from the articulation list in the lower right of the player.
Choose ‘force legato' from the browser window.
22
When the Play browser is loading ProDrummer, how does the GUI change?
The browser is replaced by aa OS X finder window
The libraries are hidden behind a disclosure triangle
There is no keyboard at the bottom of the interface
The browser is organized by icon instead of column
23
What are ‘Taped' drums in the Ghostwriter library?
Taped drums were recorded to analog tape and run through a digital mastering system before being laid back to yet another tape machine
Taped drums are drums that were recorded to cassette deck
Taped drums were simply drums that were recorded with tape placed on the drum heads to dampen the sound
Taped drums are multi-sampled drums that were created by reversing and re-recording taped drums to give them an interesting, pre-lapped sound
24
What is Ohmicide?
A multiband de-esser
A multiband compressor
A limited-band dynamic equalizer
A muti-band saturation plugin
25
