decrease the Gain, just inverted. Correct Answer True

What is special about an Equalizer with a Proportional Q Correct Answer In addition to
the value that you set manually with the Q control, the amount of Gain also affects the
actual Q Parameter. A higher ±Gain will increase the Q (Narrow Band) and a lower
±Gain will decrease the Q (Wide Band).

Which abbreviations you will find on an Equalizer? Correct Answer HMF
BPF
HPF
LPF
LMF

the Cutoff Frequency

The steepness of a Filter can be described as" dB/Oct" or "Number of Poles":

parameter
- It controls the range of the transition on a Low Shelf or High Shelf Equalizer
- It controls the Bandwidth of a Bell Shape Equalizer

What device do you use to eliminate a specific frequency, like a 60Hz ground hum?
Correct Answer A Notch Filter

to the outboard signal processor and an "Insert Return" to connect the output of the
signal processor to the signal path of that specific Channel Strip
- An "Insert" on a DAW is usually a popup menu that lets you select a software effects
plugin to inserts into the signal path of a Channel Strip

Facts about Inline Consoles and Split Consoles. Correct Answer - Split Consoles and
Inline Consoles are mixers for multi-track recording
- An Inline Console has two separate audio signal paths per Input Channel Strip
- A Split Console uses separate Channel Strips for sending an audio signal to the multi-
track recorder and another Channel Strip to monitor the audio signal coming from the
multi-track recorder

True or False: A "Send Mute" is a separate Mute Button available on each Aux Send in
Pro Tools that is similar to an on/off button of an Aux Send found on the Channel Strip
of a hardware mixer. Correct Answer True

What is a FOH Mixer? Correct Answer A mixing console used for live sound placed in
front of the stage

What do you have to pay attention to when using the Mute Button on an Inline Console?
Correct Answer There are two separate Mute Buttons on a Channel Strip, one for each
signal paths (Small Fader, Large Fader)

What are Aux Sends used for on a Channel Strip? Correct Answer Effects Sends
Headphone Mixes
Additional Outputs

How many Inserts Slots are available on a Channel Strip in Pro Tools? Correct Answer
