1
In the early analog era, mastering was done primarily to
to make the audio as loud as possible
create an alternate version of a track for remix
prepare the audio for transfer to vinyl
register the copyright claim for the songwriter and label
2
Logic's Goniometer measures
the tonal balance of an audiofile in third-octave bands
the phase differential between the L & R channels of a stereo audio file
the frequency of an audio signal
the maximum peak level of an audiofile
3
The Vintage EQs emulate which three classic EQs?
SSL, Neve 1073, & API 560
Neve 1073, Sony Oxford, & Massenberg EQ
Neve 1073, API 560, & Trident 80-series EQ
Neve 1073, API 560, & Pultec EQP-1A+MEQ-5
4
A Logic mastering template might include reference tracks which are
industry-standard test-tone audiofiles for calibrating level
songs in the same musical keys as the tracks being mastered
commercial masters that can serve as a guideline for level, dynamics, & tonal balance
5
A multiband compressor
all answers are correct
guarantees that no audible change in overall frequency balance will occur
divides the frequency range and applies independent compression in different bands
emulates several different vintage compressor models at the same time
6
A new measurement unit & a new scale for determining average loudness are
dBu & the dBspl scale
LU (Loudness Unit) & LUFS (Loudness Units referenced to Full Scale)
dBfs (dB full scale) and the dB (deciBel)
kHz and the kHzspl scale
7
Which of these Logic plug-ins are suitable for mastering applications?
Compressor & Multipressor
Channel EQ & Vintage EQs
Adaptive Limiter & Multimeter
All answers are correct
8
Logic's two dedicated level meters are
the Goniometer & the Correlation Meter
the Vectorscope & the Balance Meter
the Level Meter (dB scale) & the Loudness Meter (LUFS scale)
the Vectorscope & the Loudness Meter (LUFS scale)
9
When mastering is done, several Bounces may be created
to provide multiple copies to all the members of a band
to make sure that adequate backups are maintained
to accommodate the different average level requirements of different media
10
Typical mastering EQ might consist of
large midrange boosts accompanied by aggressive high & low cut filters
large narrow boosts of at least 10 dB or more
large midrange cuts
small subtle boosts & cuts of around 2 or 3 dB
11
In mastering one reason reverb might be added is
if a track has too much transient energy and needs to be fattened up
to apply a big room effect to drums in a mix for that classic 80's sound
if a track is noticeably more dry or lacking in depth than others in a collection
12
MS (Mid-Side) processing
converts Left & Right channels to a Mid channel (mono) and Sides channel
can let the mastering engineer make subtle adjustments to stereo width
is employed on vinyl records, originally to insure mono compatibility
All answers are correct
13
When setting the final level of the master
you should never let the overall level change from the level of the original mix
you should both compare it to reference tracks and check the level in the Loudness Meter
you should always make the mix as loud as technically possible
14
Logic's Multipressor includes
7 different models of classic vintage compressor hardware units
10 bands of over-easy compression
up to 4 bands with full compression controls plus user-adjustable crossover points
15
Two of Logic's EQs share the same layout-they are
the Channel EQ & Match EQ
the Channel EQ & Linear Phase EQ
the Channel EQ and the Vintage EQs
the Vintage EQs and Match EQ
16
Logic's main mastering limiter is
the SSL Compressor model
the Multipressor
the Adaptive Limiter, or AdLimiter
the Compressor with peak detection selected
17
Brickwall limiting has typically had two functions in digital mastering:
overload protection & loudness maximizing
overload protection & tonal balance adjustment
tonal balance adjustment & loudness maximizing
18
In mastering a typical Ratio for subtle overall compression might be
no higher than 1:1
at least 10:1or higher
around 2:1 or lower
3,1416:1
19
Logic's two main compressor plug-ins for mastering are
Fairchild & SSL
Limiter & AdLimiter
Fairchild & Pultec
Compressor & Multipressor
20
If a mastering session included several songs intended as a collection
it should be broken up into several different mastering Project files
they should all be trimmed to be the same length, for consistency
they could be worked on one-at-a-time, or simultaneously, bouncing between them
21
Logic's Exciter
creates stereo depth
pumps up the compression for a more exciting mix
subtly adds new (distortion) harmonics for additional brightness
applies high-frequency EQ for additional brightness
