1
What are the five basic Automation modes in Pro Tools?
Read, Write, Touch, Trim, and Fade
Read, Write, Latch, Trim, and Slice
Read, Write, Latch, Trim, and Save
Off, Read, Write, Touch, and Latch
2
Within a Channel Strip, the actual order of signal flow is...
Input, Inserts, Pre-Fader Sends, Pan, Channel Fader, Output
Input, Inserts, Post-Fader Sends, Channel Fader, Pre-Fader Sends, Pan, Output
Input, Inserts, Pre-Fader Sends, Pan, Channel Fader, Post-Fader Sends, Output
Input, Inserts, Pre-Fader Sends, Channel Fader, Post-Fader Sends, Pan, Output
3
For mixing, the metering would normally be set to:
pre-fader metering
post-fader metering
off
4
The best way to approach a mix is to...
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
do a full level & pan mix first; when that's final, then process the tracks individually
5
Mixing in Pro Tools can include:
tracking, overdubbing, and comping
level balance, panning, processing, and automation
composing, recording and mastering
recording, editing, and mastering
6
Inserts...
are only found on Instrument tracks
follow the channel fader, except in the Master Fader
precede the channel fader, except in the Master Fader
are only found in the Master Fader channel strip
7
The one hard-and-fast rule in modern mixing is...
there are no hard-and-fast rules in mixing
the kick drum must always be the loudest element in the mix
the snare 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
8
How do you call an Expander that's used to remove low-level noise and leakage?
a Strip Silencer
a Noise Gate
a compressor
a Limiter
9
What are the sections of a Channel Strip in Pro Tools?
Inserts, Sends, I/O, Pan, Channel Fader
Inserts only
Inserts, Sends, Elastic Audio, Channel Fader
Inserts, Sends, Audio, Video, Channel Fader
10
For more subtle, gradual overall compression, you might dial up...
a saturator
a very high Threshold and Ratio, always combined with a hard-Knee setting
a lower Threshold and Ratio, possibly combined with a soft-Knee setting
a Brickwall Limiter
11
Two types of bussing include:
Master Stereo Bus and Elastic Audio
Automation and Clip Gain
Subgroups and Send & Return
Instrument and Audio tracks
12
When you use the Bounce-to-Disk command...
you make a full backup of both the Session File and all the individual audiofiles in the session
you make a full backup of all the individual audio files in the session
it creates a great-sounding master automatically
you create a new stereo audiof ile of the full mix
13
Hard-panning a stereo track or a stereo-doubled track means
panning the left & right sides only part of the way left & right
panning both the left & right sides to the center, creating a hard mono signal
using M/S processing
panning the left & right sides all the way left & right
14
Name 2 ways to create Automation in Pro Tools.
Copy it or paste it in
Draw it in with the pencil or draw it in with the mouse
Record it in realtime by moving faders & controls or draw it in
Write or Latch
15
Two types of reverb processors are:
wet reverbs and dry reverbs
algorithmic reverbs and convolution reverbs
spring and fall reverbs
automatic reverbs and manual reverbs
16
In an Automation display, the Trim tool...
can correct for a poorly chosen Automation level by using A.I.
can create Automation level automatically 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
17
Mix processing includes:
EQ, Dynamics, Delay, Reverb
Recording and Automation
EQ, Dynamics, Elastic Audio, Auto-Punch
EQ, Compression, Overdubbing, Comping
18
Staggering frequency ranges when EQing a mix means...
boosting one track and cutting another at the same (or a similar) frequency for tonal clarity
mixing while slightly drunk, to get a better sense of the overall tonal balance
boosting several tracks at the same (or a similar) frequency for tonal power
19
Which type of track incorporates both audio and MIDI data?
Instrument track
Audio track
MIDI track
20
Delay-based effects like Flanging and Chorusing incorporate
reverb
a very low Threshold combined with a soft knee setting
delay times above 100 milliseconds, for clarity
periodic LFO modulation to impart movement to the effect
21
Clip Gain differs from regular (track) Automation in that...
it affects the audio signal before the signal reaches the channel strip
there is no difference
it affects the audio signal after the signal passes through the inserts
it can change the level of the audio at different points in the song/session
22
When a Mix Group is assigned to a VCA Fader...
you can adjust the individual faders even while the VCA link is active
Groups can't be assigned to VCA Faders
you can't adjust the individual faders while the VCA link is active
23
ADT stands for
Artificial Double-Tracking, which is the technical name for electronic doubling
Automatic Delay Transformer, which is used to modulate the delay time
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
24
Setting level and pan is a mixing activity. True or false?
False
True
25
Mixing means...
matching and balancing the overall level of all the songs included on an album
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
the same as recording
