1
A common approach to mastering compression uses...
a very high Threshold and a very fast Attack
stacking 5 compressors in a row
a very high Ratio and a very fast Attack
lower Ratio and lower Threshold settings
2
Two additional processors that might be used in mastering are...
a chorus and a flanger
an enhancer and a slap echo
an exciter and a reverb
delay and reverb
3
The new level scale used for Loudness Normalization is...
the dB scale
the LUFS scale
the dBu scale
the dBspl scale
4
What is Mastering?
The final stage of audio production
A processing only done for analog media
The process of duplicating a final mix
The same as Mixing
5
Character processors are typically plug-ins that...
remotely control an actual external hardware unit
emulate the sound & response of analog hardware
special effect processors that are applied on top of standard processing
are designed by famous engineers
6
A vectorscope displays:
the relative phase between the left and right channels
the dynamic frequency balance of the song
the instantaneous level of an audio signal that is passing through
the average loudness over the length of the song
7
The best approach to mastering multiple songs is to...
use the same chain of mastering processors for all the songs
master all the song in the same project
use a separate chain of mastering processors for each song
open each song in a separate Pro Tools session
8
A brickwall limiter...
absolutely cuts the audio below a set frequency, before limiting
is used for brick wall limiting
absolutely prevents the signal from exceeding a set Threshold
absolutely cuts the audio above a set frequency, before limiting
9
When EQ'ing, a smile curve is...
a broad midrange boost centered around 1kHz
a great-sounding EQ guaranteed to make the listener smile
a broad, gentle boost of the highs & lows
the application of both highpass & lowpass filters
10
A standard chain for mastering processing would be:
EQ, Limiting, Reverb
EQ, Comrpession, Reverb
EQ, Delay, Reverb
EQ, Compression, Limiting
11
An Offline Bounce...
can only be done when disconnected from the internet
should be avoided
renders the new file silently in faster-then-real time
renders the new file in real time while playing the audio
12
To comply with most modern Loudness standards, a good setting would be...
a ceiling of -14 dBfs
a ceiling of -.3dBfs
a ceiling of -1dBTP
a ceiling of 10 dBfs
13
Multiband compression...
is used in place of brickwall limiting
is used place of a saturator
chains several mastering compressors in sequence
applies independent compression in several frequency bands
14
When A/B'ing the masters-in-progress against commercial reference tracks...
you should never A/B your track against commercial releases
the masters and reference tracks should be played simultaneously
the masters-in-progress should always be 6dB louder than the reference tracks
the average levels should be level-matched for valid comparison
15
In the Avid Pro Multiband compressor, Slope...
is a frequency tilt EQ to augment the compression
is a smiling EQ
is a combined Attack/Release control
is a combination Ratio/Knee control
16
You can implement M-S processing in Pro Tools by...
M/S processing is a myth. It doesn't exist.
exporting the audio to a third-party standalone M-S application
Pro Tools does not include any M-S plug-ins so it can't be done
inserting multi-mono plug-ins between LR->MS and MS->LR plug-ins
17
Which of the following compressors is included with Pro Tools?
BF-76
Compressor/Limiter III
Compressor/Limiter III, Channel Strip Compressor and BF-76
Channel Strip Compressor
18
Pro Tools' included EQs are:
dynamic EQs
switchable between minimum-phase & linear-phase
linear-phase EQs
standard minimum-phase EQs
19
Mastering activities that can be performed in Pro Tools include:
multiband compression
EQ, compression, brickwall limiting, multiband compression, and M-S processing
EQ, compression, and brickwall limiting
M-S processing
20
In the analog era, mastering was primarily done to...
create hotter CDs
transfer a mix from vinyl to tape
create a stereo mix from a mono mix
transfer a mix from tape to vinyl
21
M-S processing converts L/R stereo audio to...
a Max (high-level) channel and a Soft (low-level) channel
a mono signal to stereo
5.1 surround audio with simulated rear channel ambience
a Mid (sum) channel and a Sides (difference) channel
22
In a typical mastering session...
you might work on EQ & compression before applying brickwall limiting
you must always apply brickwall limiting before setting the other processing
you should apply reverb first
you should never A/B the song against other songs during mastering
