1
When you use the Bounce-to-Disk command...
you make a full backup of all the individual audio files in the session
you make a full backup of both the Session File and all the individual audiofiles in the session
you create a new stereo audiof ile of the full mix
it creates a great-sounding master automatically
2
Two types of reverb processors are:
automatic reverbs and manual reverbs
algorithmic reverbs and convolution reverbs
wet reverbs and dry reverbs
spring and fall reverbs
3
Mixing means...
matching and balancing the overall level of all the songs included on an album
the same as recording
setting the levels & pans and applying processing to the individual tracks in a multitrack session
matching the overall tonal balance of all the songs included on an album
4
Within a Channel Strip, the actual order of signal flow is...
Input, Inserts, Pre-Fader Sends, Pan, Channel Fader, Post-Fader Sends, Output
Input, Inserts, Pre-Fader Sends, Pan, Channel Fader, Output
Input, Inserts, Pre-Fader Sends, Channel Fader, Post-Fader Sends, Pan, Output
Input, Inserts, Post-Fader Sends, Channel Fader, Pre-Fader Sends, Pan, Output
5
Delay-based effects like Flanging and Chorusing incorporate
reverb
delay times above 100 milliseconds, for clarity
periodic LFO modulation to impart movement to the effect
a very low Threshold combined with a soft knee setting
6
Mix processing includes:
EQ, Dynamics, Delay, Reverb
EQ, Compression, Overdubbing, Comping
EQ, Dynamics, Elastic Audio, Auto-Punch
Recording and Automation
7
Hard-panning a stereo track or a stereo-doubled track means
panning both the left & right sides to the center, creating a hard mono signal
panning the left & right sides all the way left & right
panning the left & right sides only part of the way left & right
using M/S processing
8
The best way to approach a mix is to...
do a full level & pan mix first; when that's final, then process the tracks individually
go back & forth between processing individual tracks and adjusting the full mix
process individual channels first; when they're completely done, then blend them in the mix
9
Clip Gain differs from regular (track) Automation in that...
it can change the level of the audio at different points in the song/session
it affects the audio signal after the signal passes through the inserts
there is no difference
it affects the audio signal before the signal reaches the channel strip
10
When a Mix Group is assigned to a VCA Fader...
you can't adjust the individual faders while the VCA link is active
Groups can't be assigned to VCA Faders
you can adjust the individual faders even while the VCA link is active
11
Staggering frequency ranges when EQing a mix means...
boosting one track and cutting another at the same (or a similar) frequency for tonal clarity
boosting several tracks at the same (or a similar) frequency for tonal power
mixing while slightly drunk, to get a better sense of the overall tonal balance
12
For mixing, the metering would normally be set to:
post-fader metering
off
pre-fader metering
13
ADT stands for
Artificial Double-Tracking, which is the technical name for electronic doubling
Active Digital Transfer, which is used to render a second musical part
Automated Dual-Taping, which is an emulation of an old analog mixing trick
Automatic Delay Transformer, which is used to modulate the delay time
14
What are the five basic Automation modes in Pro Tools?
Read, Write, Touch, Trim, and Fade
Off, Read, Write, Touch, and Latch
Read, Write, Latch, Trim, and Save
Read, Write, Latch, Trim, and Slice
15
In an Automation display, the Trim tool...
can create Automation level automatically by using A.I.
can correct for a poorly chosen Automation level by using A.I.
can drag a selected section of automation data up or down
does nothing-it does not function in an Automation display
16
Which type of track incorporates both audio and MIDI data?
Instrument track
Audio track
MIDI track
17
Master bus processing...
is always required for every mix, no exceptions
Is only used when mastering
must never be used at the mix stage, no exceptions
is up to the mix engineer; some use it, some don't
18
How do you call an Expander that's used to remove low-level noise and leakage?
a Limiter
a Strip Silencer
a compressor
a Noise Gate
19
What are the sections of a Channel Strip in Pro Tools?
Inserts, Sends, Audio, Video, Channel Fader
Inserts, Sends, I/O, Pan, Channel Fader
Inserts, Sends, Elastic Audio, Channel Fader
Inserts only
20
Two types of bussing include:
Automation and Clip Gain
Master Stereo Bus and Elastic Audio
Subgroups and Send & Return
Instrument and Audio tracks
21
The one hard-and-fast rule in modern mixing is...
the kick drum must always be the loudest element in the mix
the vocal must always be at least 3 dB louder than any other track in the mix
the snare drum must always be the loudest element in the mix
there are no hard-and-fast rules in mixing
22
Setting level and pan is a mixing activity. True or false?
False
True
23
For more subtle, gradual overall compression, you might dial up...
a lower Threshold and Ratio, possibly combined with a soft-Knee setting
a Brickwall Limiter
a very high Threshold and Ratio, always combined with a hard-Knee setting
a saturator
24
Mixing in Pro Tools can include:
recording, editing, and mastering
tracking, overdubbing, and comping
level balance, panning, processing, and automation
composing, recording and mastering
25
Inserts...
are only found on Instrument tracks
precede the channel fader, except in the Master Fader
are only found in the Master Fader channel strip
follow the channel fader, except in the Master Fader
