1
What is Comping tracks
takes different parts from different recordings and edits them to become one take
New cards
2
How to consolidate audio
option shift 3
New cards
3
Finding the tempo of the song
tap the letter T to the tempo of the audio on the QWERTY keyboard with the conductor off, then turn it on and adjust the tempo to that tempo
New cards
4
What is beat detective
able to quantize live drums
New cards
5
How to do Grouping tracks
command G
New cards
6
What is grouping tracks
allows you to move faders together and mute or solo them at once
New cards
7
Subgroups are
ways to send a group of tracks to one place to be mixed, one fader controls the group of tracks
New cards
8
Optimal speaker placement?
the equilateral triangles, aimed at your ears
New cards
9
What is mixing
the relative level, spatial positioning, equalization, dynamic processing, effects processing
New cards
10
Signal flow
is the path that audio makes from its source to its output
New cards
11
I/O indicates...
where the source is coming form
New cards
12
EQ's different frequency bands
highpass, lowpass, band pass, shelving, notch, peaking or bell
New cards
13
Lowpass filter
allows low frequencies to pass through, cuts the high ones
New cards
14
Highpass filter
allows high filters to pass, cuts the lower ones.
New cards
15
The cutoff frequency is how many dbs?
3dbs freq cut
New cards
16
Q is defined as
the center frequency divided by the bandwidth of the filter
New cards
17
The bandwidth is defined as
the width of the cut
New cards
18
Notch filter
when the bandwidth gets super narrow, like a point
New cards
19
Peaking filter has more of a
bell curve than a point
New cards
20
Semi parametric is...
EQ with fixed bandwidth but lets you adjust frequency boosting and cutting, nothing else
New cards
21
Parametric EQ can
sweep frequencies, boost or cut, adjust the bandwidth
New cards
22
Graphic EQ
multiple frequencies SET on sliders, band pass or reject filters
New cards
23
RTA is
a real time analyzer EQ, visual tool to monitor frequency
New cards
24
Different frequency ranges
Lows, Lo mids, mids, Hi-mids, Highs
New cards
25
Dynamic Range
the loudness level difference between the quietest part and loudest part of a signal
New cards
26
What is a compressor used for
a compressor is used to proportionately level and reduce the dynamics of audio, "squashing it", so that the rang of volume is less
New cards
27
different parts of compressor
threshold, attack, release, ratio, knee
New cards
28
possible uses for compression include
minimize volumes of tracks for overall mix
smooth out momentary changes in mic distance
equalizing and balancing volume changes on instruments
New cards
29
Sidechain compression is
a compressor triggered by something else, like a kick drum, that compresses the track in order to allow something else to stand out
New cards
30
Limiters are
compressors with a very quick attack and release, ratio higher than 10:1
New cards
31
What is parallel compression
taking a track, putting a compressor on it, and then ending it through a sub group(aux send)
New cards
32
What are gates
they remove sound at points, threshold is set to open when it gets louder than the set amount, range is how much it closes
New cards
33
All time based effects should be set up on what type of track
a aux send, not on the actual audio track you want to put it on
New cards
34
What is delay
replays samples of RAM from an audio, in milliseconds.
Feedback is the amount of faded delays (how much it repeats)
Modulation changes the speed, making it wonky
Mix should be 100 percent, wet
New cards
35
Reverb is
the audio signal travelling back to the listening, early reflection's and reverberation, getting that natural room acoustics
New cards
36
Types of reverbs
hall, plate, chamber, spring, room,
New cards
37
Parameters of reverbs
decay is the time it takes to die off
early refection- setting the distance of the walls in room
pre-delay- how much delay before the reverb comes in
damping and diffusion control how the reverb builds in density
New cards
38
What are audio stems
stereo files sub mixed from individual recordings, grouped as things like drums, guitars, lead vox, background vox, keys, etc
New cards
39
Audio stems are used for
mixing, sending tracks to an artist to add a part, remixing, rebalancing, mastering
New cards
40
What is automation
the ability to control faders based on volume, panning, mutes, send volume, send pan, plugin parameters
New cards
41
automation, off
the automation is turned off
New cards
42
automation, read
read back any automation that was written
New cards
43
Automation, touch
as soon as you go and touch whatever it is you are changing, it will go into write mode, letting go makes it go into read mode
New cards
44
Automation, latch
goes into write as soon as I click it, but stays in it even when letting go
New cards
45
Automation, write
writes any automation you make until playback is stopped
