Get a mark of 80% or higher to pass this quiz!
1
In an Automation display, the Trim tool...
does nothing-it does not function in an Automation display
can create Automation level automatically by using A.I.
can drag a selected section of automation data up or down
can correct for a poorly chosen Automation level by using A.I.
2
Mixing in Pro Tools can include:
level balance, panning, processing, and automation
tracking, overdubbing, and comping
composing, recording and mastering
recording, editing, and mastering
3
For more subtle, gradual overall compression, you might dial up...
a saturator
a Brickwall Limiter
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
4
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
using M/S processing
panning the left & right sides only part of the way left & right
5
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
6
ADT stands for
Active Digital Transfer, which is used to render a second musical part
Artificial Double-Tracking, which is the technical name for electronic doubling
Automated Dual-Taping, which is an emulation of an old analog mixing trick
Automatic Delay Transformer, which is used to modulate the delay time
7
Staggering frequency ranges when EQing a mix means...
boosting several tracks at the same (or a similar) frequency for tonal power
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
8
Clip Gain differs from regular (track) Automation in that...
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
it affects the audio signal before the signal reaches the channel strip
there is no difference
9
Mix processing includes:
EQ, Dynamics, Elastic Audio, Auto-Punch
EQ, Compression, Overdubbing, Comping
EQ, Dynamics, Delay, Reverb
Recording and Automation
10
How do you call an Expander that's used to remove low-level noise and leakage?
a Strip Silencer
a Noise Gate
a Limiter
a compressor
11
Master bus processing...
is up to the mix engineer; some use it, some don't
Is only used when mastering
must never be used at the mix stage, no exceptions
is always required for every mix, no exceptions
12
What are the sections of a Channel Strip in Pro Tools?
Inserts only
Inserts, Sends, Audio, Video, Channel Fader
Inserts, Sends, I/O, Pan, Channel Fader
Inserts, Sends, Elastic Audio, Channel Fader
13
For mixing, the metering would normally be set to:
off
pre-fader metering
post-fader metering
14
Inserts...
are only found on Instrument tracks
are only found in the Master Fader channel strip
precede the channel fader, except in the Master Fader
follow the channel fader, except in the Master Fader
15
Setting level and pan is a mixing activity. True or false?
False
True
16
The one hard-and-fast rule in modern mixing is...
the vocal must always be at least 3 dB louder than any other track in the mix
there are no hard-and-fast rules in mixing
the snare drum must always be the loudest element in the mix
the kick drum must always be the loudest element in the mix
17
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
18
What are the five basic Automation modes in Pro Tools?
Read, Write, Latch, Trim, and Slice
Read, Write, Latch, Trim, and Save
Off, Read, Write, Touch, and Latch
Read, Write, Touch, Trim, and Fade
19
Name 2 ways to create Automation in Pro Tools.
Copy it or paste it in
Record it in realtime by moving faders & controls or draw it in
Write or Latch
Draw it in with the pencil or draw it in with the mouse
20
Mixing means...
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
matching and balancing the overall level of all the songs included on an album
21
Which type of track incorporates both audio and MIDI data?
Instrument track
MIDI track
Audio track
22
Delay-based effects like Flanging and Chorusing incorporate
delay times above 100 milliseconds, for clarity
a very low Threshold combined with a soft knee setting
reverb
periodic LFO modulation to impart movement to the effect
23
Two types of bussing include:
Instrument and Audio tracks
Automation and Clip Gain
Subgroups and Send & Return
Master Stereo Bus and Elastic Audio
24
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
it creates a great-sounding master automatically
you make a full backup of all the individual audio files in the session
you create a new stereo audiof ile of the full mix
25
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
