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