Q

when pocketing, why is it important to move all of the drum tracks instead of just moving one?

A

multiple mics are used and therefore picking up everything else so just moving one thing doesnt work bc the other mics will still pick up the singular drum

Q

are inserts on tracks pre fader or post fader? explain why

A

insert are pre fader. the signal is taken into the effect before it hits the fader. moving fader will not effect how much is given from effect.

20
Q

what is the difference between multi channel and multi mono?

A

multi channel allows you to do the same thing to multiple channels (L&R) where as multi mono allows you to do things to the channels individually so you actually have more options.

21
Q

what are the advantages of setting up effects loops using sends and return tracks?

A

helps keep your computer from slowing down. it always any track to have the option to send signal to the tracks. You can edit multiple things at once.

22
Q

I’ve decided to set up on aux track for reverb return. I just selected on a bus on a send on my acoustic track, and I noticed a little break out fader has appeared. what is that fader for?

A

it is to adjust reverb

23
Q

right now I have a send on my acoustic guitar track bussing it to the reverb return. I do not have the PRE button engaged on my send fader. I just pulled the main acoustic guitar fader all the way down. what happens and why?

A

The whole thing goes away bc it affects the reverb bc it is post fader.

24
Q

Now I have the PRE button no. what does it mean and what does it allow me to do?

A

it Turns it pre fader and allows you to solo out your reverb

25
Q

on my reverb aux track, where should I set the mix knob on my reverb module and why?

A

100percent so you have complete access to the effect.

26
Q

im sending my acoustic guitar signal to a bus which I’ve named “reverb bus”. I have my reverb set up on my aux track, but im not seeing a signal there yet. what do I need to check on my reverb aux track?

A

make sure it is pre fader. also make sure its connected to the same bus.

27
Q

I have a steroid aux track set up for delay return. I want to send my electric guitar on a bus, but im not sure what bus I should use– mono or stereo. which one should I choose and why?

A

stereo so that they are the same and the signal wont be lopsided.

28
Q

assuming there are no send on the track, what are the 3 main parameters you can automate in pro tools by default?

A

volume, mute, and pan

29
Q

I want to automate an effect. how would I go about adding it to my automation lane?

A

use the pencil tool and use the line you’d like to use. after selecting which one you’d like to use.

30
Q

what are the two different ways automation can be recorded In pro tools?

A

graphically and in real time

31
Q

what will latch mode do?

A

continues to write at whatever value you use it at

32
Q

what will touch mode do?

A

touch will return to previous automation whenever fader is released.

33
Q

what will write mode do?

A

write will override all previous automation even if you’re not touching the fader.

34
Q

I want to make sure that my automation stays with any clip, no matter where I move it to. what button can I engage to make sure that happens? what happens if that button is orange?

A

automation follows edit. if it is orange it is warning you that its off. automation wont travel if its off

35
Q

what is clip again?

A

allows you to adjust and control volume

36
Q

what is the danger of using automation on a track that has an insert dependent on the audio file, and what Is the solution?

A

you’re dealing with audio signal before it gets to fader so you wont get an accurate level read out. you have to make sure to use clip gain instead of just automation.

37
Q

what are the two different ways to adjust clip gain?

A

little fader symbol in the bottom left of track and

38
Q

what do EQ modules allow us to do?

A

help blend sound, mixing, cleaning, get rid of frequencies you don’t need. fix problems and show creativity.

39
Q

what are the differences between the 2 main types of EQ modules?

A

graphic: has set frequency bands that you can’t change. allows cut or boost of amplitudes
Parametric: freedom to decide what frequency to cut or boost at.

40
Q

what are the main 2 types of EQ modules?

A

graphic and parametric

41
Q

the 3 main parameters on a parametric EQ are:

A

frequency, Gain, and Q

42
Q

what does adjusting the Q allow us to do?

A

it adjusts the bandwidth. it decides how wide or narrow the cut or boost will be.

43
Q

on the pro tools EQ3 7 band parametric EQ, what are the two different shape choices for the low and high frequency bands?

A

peak or bell shape and shelf shape

44
Q

what does a low pass filter do? what does a high pass filter do?

A

low pass: lets lows pass through
high pass: allows you to make a more aggressive cut. cuts out low

45
Q

what is the difference between and high or low shelf and a low or high pass filter?

A

low shelf filters affect (boost or cut) frequencies at the low-end of the audio signal while high shelf filters affect (boost or cut) frequencies at the high-end of the audio signal.

46
Q

when using a shelf, when I crank the Q higher what happens?

A

you’ll get resonant peaks around the frequencies

47
Q

on the EQ3-7 band in pro tools, the high pass and low pass filters have two knobs. one is for selecting the frequencies. what is the other for?

A

selects the slope.
