3

4

Formants are...
- fixed resonances in a voice, that give that voice its distinctive tonal character
- none of the other answers are correct
- 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
5

What advanced capability is still not really possible, but might be on the horizon?
- 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
- None of the other answers are correct
- The ability to extract individual instruments from a stereo mix (single audio file)
6

When doing Sound Replacement, the Threshold control is used to...

- remove notes that are more than a set degree out of tune or not in the right key for the song
- isolate the desired notes of the performance from other noises or stray notes in the recording
7

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
- Replacing the sound of a recorded drum (in a snare drum track) with a different drum
- Time-shifting without the pitch of the audio changing
8

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
- none of the other answers are correct
- are the only algorithms that can vary the speed of an audio recordin
9

Which of the following is NOT a feature of Audio Repair software?
- Removing excessive ambience from a recording
- Repairing distorted (clipped) audio waves
- Removing background noise from a recording
- None of the other answers are correct-all of these tasks can be performed with Audio Repair software
10

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
- 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
- allow you to adjust various aspects of each note, like fine tuning, drift, vibrato, level, and formant
11

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
- the pitches of the new harmony line will usually not be a fixed interval 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
12

To remove (clipping) distortion from a recording, you must...
- set the Threshold to a point at or just below the clipping point in the wave
- 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
13

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

- Paste Special
- Cut Time
- Insert Time
15

Advanced Drum Replacement plug-in like Drumagog...
- 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
- all other answers are correct
- can automatically add more flourishes and fills to an uninspired performance
16

While Beat Mapping in Logic, "tapping" tempo...
- none of the other answers are correct
- records your taps into a MIDI track and uses that track to create the new Tempo Map
- lets the engineer estimate whether the song's recorded tempo is steady enough to be Beat Mapped
- opens a dialog box which indicates the deviations from the steady Session Tempo
17

When "auto-tuning" a voice, the familiar quantized pitch (Cher or T-Pain) effect can be had by...
- setting the correct key & scale for the particular song
- setting the scale only to the "chromatic" option
- setting the speed (response time) of the processing to the fastest setting
- setting the speed (response time) of the processing to the slowest setting
18

Melodyne's DNA (Direct Note Access)...
- is the only pitch-shifting feature that let you isolate and re-pitch an instrument from an audio recording of multiple instruments
- is the only pitch-shifting feature that let you re-pitch individual notes within a polyphonic context
- allows for only monophonic pitch shifting
- is the only pitch-shifting feature that let you re-pitch entire (selected) monophonic phrases
19

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)
- Spectral Processing (Spectral Repair)
- Super Processing
- Scope Processing
20
