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