|
How do we use I/O setup for surround? |
Used to create multi-channel paths and sub-paths |
|
|
What are the paths/sub-paths used for in Surround? |
Gives a pathway for mono/stereo tracks to target and output on |
|
|
What kind of multi-channel tracks can we create? |
Stereo LCR LCRS Quad 5.0 5.1 6.0 6.1 7.0 7.1 |
|
|
What is surround panner used for? |
Used to pan a mono signal between the L, C, R, Ls and Rs channels |
|
|
How do we access a larger version of Surround Panner? |
Through the multi-channel output window, accessed by clicking the fader icon above the automation drop menu |
|
|
What is Center %? |
Controls how much signal is routed to the centre channel |
|
|
What is Divergence? |
Divergence lets you control panning width |
|
|
Full divergence... |
Allows discrete panning to a single speaker |
|
|
0% front divergence... |
Will pan sound evenly between L, C and R |
|
|
What are the panning modes? |
Auto-glide Divergence X/Y 3-knob panning mode |
|
|
X/Y Mode... |
Is typical joystick-style panning |
|
|
Auto-glide mode... |
Lets you pan by clicking new locations in the panner grid. Panning position will glide from point to point using auto-glide time. |
|
|
Divergence mode... |
Lets you drag and resize the divergence X/Y grid boundaries |
|
|
3-knob panning... |
Lets you pan in straight lines between front and rear |
|
|
What is the difference between multi-mono and multi-channel plug-ins? |
Multi-mono plugs can be used on any track from mono to 7.1 channels. Multi-channel plug-ins are used for correlated processing (stereo linked compression). |
|
|
How do we link multi-channel tracks? |
Go to the output window and press LINK |
|
|
How do we invert the Front/Rear channels? |
Access the output window, and press Front/Rear Inverse |
|
|
Methods of drum sample augmentation? |
Software MIDI Triggers |
|
|
Process of SOFTWARE drum augmentation |
Inserting the 3rd Third Party software on the drum track |
|
|
Process for MIDI augmentation |
|
|
|
Purpose of MIDI Triggers |
Precise replacement Key Gates Attack portion of signal |
|
|
What 3rd party drum sample plug-in do we use in St.4? |
Steven Slate Trigger 2 |
|
|
What are the basic controls of Steven Slate Trigger 2? |
Attack, Sustain, Release, Dynamics, Velocity, Range, Suppression |
|
|
Attack... |
Sets the initial time it takes the envelope to reach its maximum level after it has been triggered |
|
|
Sustain... |
Fixed time that the envelope will stay at its maximum level after it has completed the attack phase |
|
|
Release... |
Envelope falls from its sustain level back to zero |
|
|
Dynamics... |
Increase/decrease dynamic range |
|
|
Velocity... |
Response of instruments |
|
|
Range... |
Limits velocities |
|
|
Suppression... |
Stops the plug-in from triggering certain leakages on a drum track |
|
|
Uses for Melodyne, other than tuning vocals? |
Thickens up instrumentation Creates Harmonies Amplitude |
|
|
Finding the key of a song with MD |
Go to Scale Detective |
|
|
What is track list view? |
Used so that you can see any track with Melodyne inserted. Allows you to see coloured blobs and grey blobs |
|
|
Track Freeze... |
Source material on tracks is replaced with audio that has been processed by all plug-ins on the track. Done to free up DSP. When frozen, all plug-ins are made inactive. |
|
|
Benefits of Track Freeze... |
Frees up DSP. Done for exchanging sessions with systems that dont have the same plug ins |
|
|
3rd Party Software |
Plug-in that replaces acoustic drum tracks with your choice of other samples. Uses sensitivity for triggering based on transients |
|
|
What gets frozen in Track Freeze? |
Plug-ins and automation, except for FREEZE TO INSERT PLUGINS. Clip Gain Elastic Audio |
|
|
How can we monitor system's performance in PT? |
Assessing the CPU meters which shows elastic audio processing, clip gain processing, disk usage and memory usage. |
|
|
Ways to improve performance in Pro-Tools? |
Print inserts Freeze tracks Increase hardware buffer size, but only for mixing. Consolidate heavy edits Commit/print plug in effects |
|
|
Dealing with Missing files |
You would have to relink files using the relink window. See notes. |
