1
While Beat Mapping in Pro Tools, the edit command for marking off a downbeat is:
Paste Special
Insert Time
Identify Beat
Cut Time
2
Time-shifting individual notes with Elastic Audio is called:
"slicing" the audio
"scratching"the audio
"warping" the audio
"mashing" the audio
3
Beat Mapping is:
Making the Session Tempo match the tempo of the performance in a recording
Labeling the different sections of a piece with names-"verse", "chorus", etc.
Time-shifting the audio in a recording to match the Session Tempo of a project
Quantizing the playback of an audio recording to correct sloppiness in the musical timing
4
When "auto-tuning" a voice, the familiar quantized pitch (Cher or T-Pain) effect can be had by...
setting the speed (response time) of the processing to the slowest setting
setting the scale only to the "chromatic" option
setting the correct key & scale for the particular song
setting the speed (response time) of the processing to the fastest setting
5
Pro Tools' time-shifting feature is called:
Sound Shift
Flex Time
Elastic Audio
Region Shifting
6
Which of the following MIDI-style edits still CANNOT be done with digital audio recordings?
Time-shifting without the pitch of the audio changing
All of these edits are currently possible with digital audio
Pitch-shifting without the tempo of the audio changing
Replacing the sound of a recorded drum (in a snare drum track) with a different drum
7
Advanced Drum Replacement plug-in like Drumagog...
can automatically add more flourishes and fills to an uninspired performance
all other answers are correct
can track the volume levels of the original notes and trigger appropriate multisamples
can shift the pitches and formants of notes in the original recorded audio
8
What advanced capability is still not really possible, but might be on the horizon?
None of the other answers are correct
The ability to extract individual instruments from a stereo mix (single audio file)
The ability to correctly predict the future popularity of a song with its target audience
The ability to improve the musical performances in a recording by analyzing a better song and applying it as a template
9
Sound Replacement...
replaces notes in an audio recording with triggered notes from a (hopefully better-sounding) virtual instrument
All answers are correct
corrects musically sloppy intonation without affecting the sound of the recorded instrument or voice
corrects musically sloppy performance timing without affecting the sound of the recorded instrument(s)
10
When using Flex Pitch in Logic, "Hot Spots"...
allow you to automatically locate any notes that do not fit in the musical scale of the current key
allow you to adjust various aspects of each note, like fine tuning, drift, vibrato, level, and formant
allow you to locate the loudest portion of each "Flexed" note and compress its volume level automatically
none of the other answers are correct
11
When slowing down a drum track with Elastic Audio...
slowing down a drum track cannot be done with Elastic Audio if gaps would result between notes (slices)
none of the other answers are correct
the decay of each note (slice) can not be adjusted to address any gaps between notes at a slower Tempo
the decay of each note (slice) can be adjusted-there will always be gaps at a slower Tempo
12
Cueing up for an analog tape edit by hand is called:
Scratching-"raking the reels"
Scrubbing-"rocking the reels"
Strobing- "rolling the reels"
Screeching-"driving the reels"
13
When a song has a varying tempo (a "rubato" performance)...
the new Beat Mapped Tempo must be the average of all the different tempos in the recording
the new Beat Mapped Tempo must be the one at the beginning of the song
new Tempos may have to be created every bar or two, making a "Tempo Map"
the song cannot be Beat Mapped
14
Formants are...
vowels that must be shifted in frequency along with the pitches of notes
syllables that contain consonants, which determine the intelligibility of a particular voice
none of the other answers are correct
fixed resonances in a voice, that give that voice its distinctive tonal character
15
Which of the following are edits that can only be performed in the digital domain?
Changing the speed (tempo) of an audio recording without the pitch changing
None of the other answers are correct
Cutting up a section of a recording
Punching in a new take in a section of a recording
16
When using features like Flex Pitch to create a Harmony line from a Lead vocal...
the pitches of the new harmony line will always be a fixed number of semitones from the original pitches
none of the other answers are correct
the new harmony line will need to have a harmony note for every pitch of the original melody
the pitches of the new harmony line will usually not be a fixed interval from the original pitches
17
When doing Sound Replacement, the Threshold control is used to...
isolate the desired notes of the performance from other noises or stray notes in the recording
none of the other answers are correct
determine if the new (replacement) sound will sound any better in the track than the original
remove notes that are more than a set degree out of tune or not in the right key for the song
18
Time-shifting algorithms called "Speed" or "Varispeed"...
automatically introduce random tempo variation, for a more natural quality
shift time and pitch together, like a tape machine or turntable
are the only algorithms that can vary the speed of an audio recordin
none of the other answers are correct
19
Which of the following is NOT a feature of Audio Repair software?
Removing background noise from a recording
Repairing distorted (clipped) audio waves
None of the other answers are correct-all of these tasks can be performed with Audio Repair software
Removing excessive ambience from a recording
20
With current technology, which of the following statement is FALSE?
Audio recordings can be changed in Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
MIDI recordings can be changed in Pitch without the Tempo changing unintentionally
Audio recordings can not be changed in Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
MIDI recordings can be changed in Tempo without the pitch changing unintentionally
21
The process of trying to isolate background noise in a recording by "drawing it out" on a Spectrogram display is called...
Magic Processing (the Potter Effect)
Scope Processing
Spectral Processing (Spectral Repair)
Super Processing
22
While Beat Mapping in Logic, the command "Adjust Tempo Using Region Length & Locators"...
forces a region to change its length to match a new Tempo set in the Tempo Ruler
none of the other answers are correct
requires that a region be cut up and used as a reference for the tempo of a selected area in the Cycle Bar
time-shifts the playback of an audio region to match it to a Tempo set manually with the Cycle Bar
23
To remove (clipping) distortion from a recording, you must...
re-record the performance with a lower level set at the input stage
None of the other answers are correct
replace the distorted sections with clean sections from elsewhere in the audio file
set the Threshold to a point at or just below the clipping point in the wave
24
Which of the following is not a time-shifting algorithm in Pro Tools?
Polyphonic
Contrapuntal
Monophonic
Rhythmic
25
While Beat Mapping in Logic, "tapping" tempo...
none of the other answers are correct
opens a dialog box which indicates the deviations from the steady Session Tempo
lets the engineer estimate whether the song's recorded tempo is steady enough to be Beat Mapped
records your taps into a MIDI track and uses that track to create the new Tempo Map
