Q

MEDIUM

What is the FMP button used for at the top of a Send window?

Activates Formant Mid Processing, for applying processing separately to the mid and side components of a stereo signal

Fixed, Mute, Pre: toggles the send between fixed position, muted, and pre-fader states

Follow Main Pan: allows any panning on the source track to be reflected in the Send window

Flanger-Modulator-Phaser: applies a modulation to the sent signal for flanger/phaser style effects processing

Activates the fader manipulation (Famper) control for the send, allowing it to be changed from the main fader

Q

MEDIUM

What is the purpose of activating solo-safe mode on an effects return track?

Prevents the track from muting when another track in the session is soloed, allowing the effects processing to remain in the mix

Prevents the track from being soloed, isolating it from the source tracks that are feeding the effects return

Links the track’s solo and mute buttons to the source tracks so that it doesn’t play when a source track is muted

Allows the effects return track to be soloed without soloing the source tracks so that you can hear the effects processing in isolation

Prevents the track from muting when another track in the session is soloed, allowing the effects processing to remain in the mix

Prevents the track from being soloed, isolating it from the source tracks that are feeding the effects return

Links the track’s solo and mute buttons to the source tracks so that it doesn’t play when a source track is muted

Allows the effects return track to be soloed without soloing the source tracks so that you can hear the effects processing in isolation

EXPLANATION

Activating solo-safe mode enables a track to continue to play when another track in the session is soloed. For effects return tracks, this lets you continue to hear the effects processing when you solo a track that has a send to that effect.

Are sends in Pro Tools pre-fader or post-fader?

Pre-fader

Post-fader

Configurable as either pre- or post-fader

A

MEDIUM

Are sends in Pro Tools pre-fader or post-fader?

Pre-fader

Post-fader

Configurable as either pre- or post-fader

EXPLANATION

Sends default to post-fader; however, you can configure sends as pre-fader by clicking on the PRE button in the Send window.

Q

MEDIUM

TRUE or FALSE: The send shown in the image is currently in Pre-Fader mode.

True

False

A

TRUE or FALSE: The send shown in the image is currently in Pre-Fader mode.

True

False

EXPLANATION

False. The Pre-Fader button (PRE) is not illuminated in blue, which indicates that it is not active. When the PRE button is gray, the send is in Post-Fader mode.

18
Q

HARD

If a track is being compressed by a dynamics processor on Insert A, will this processing affect sends on the track?

Yes it will affect sends; inserts are processed earlier in the signal path than sends.

No it will not affect sends; sends split the signal path before inserts are applied.

It depends on the send setting; pre-fader sends will not be affected, post-fader sends will be affected.

No it will not affect sends; sends split the signal path before inserts are applied.

It depends on the send setting; pre-fader sends will not be affected, post-fader sends will be affected.

EXPLANATION

Any inserts on a track will also affect sends, regardless of whether the sends are pre- or post fader, because inserts are always pre-send.

19
Q

HARD

Based on the image, which of the following is true?

One or more tracks is muted in the session.

No tracks are muted or soloed in the session.

One or more tracks are soloed in the session.
