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