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