How does Solo Safe mode work?

b. It defeats soloing on the designated channel when you solo other tracks.
c. It defeats muting on any aux return in a session when you solo other types of tracks.

a. It defeats muting on the designated channel when you solo other tracks.
Is it possible to utilize a send without an auxiliary return?
a. No; every send must have a return in order to be used.
b. Yes; you can use the original channel as both a send and return.
c. Yes; it is not typical in a mix but there are other useful applications.
d. Yes; as long as you use the Send Selector to route directly to a plug-in.
e. Yes; most sends are configured without returns.
c. Yes; it is not typical in a mix but there are other useful applications.
Which of the following is NOT a good reason to use sends and returns?
a. A single reverb used for many tracks uses less processor power than one on each track.
b. Ambience pulls together the sound of a mix, so it’s good to use the same sound on multiple tracks.
c. If you use mono in/stereo out effects as inserts, you might lose the ability to pan the “dry” signal differently than the effect itself.
d. Plug-ins sound better as inserts on single tracks than when processing multiple signals.
e. All of the above are good reasons to use sends and returns.
d. Plug-ins sound better as inserts on single tracks than when processing multiple signals.
Which of the following might be done to make a mix sound more “analog?”
a. re-record digital tracks through analog signal paths
b. record tracks on an analog tape machine and transfer them
c. use technology emulation plug-ins that simulate the sound of tubes or tape
d. all of the above
e. a. and b. only
d. all of the above
Master fader inserts…
a. are always pre-fader.
b. are always post-fader.
c. can be set to be pre- or post-fader.
d. should only be used for send submasters.
e. none of the above
b. are always post-fader.
Which of the following track types is the best choice to be the submaster for a group of signals so you can control them as a single unit in a mix?
a. Auxiliary Input track
b. Master Fader track
c. Audio track
d. all of the above are fine for submasters
e. a. and b. only
a. Auxiliary Input track
In order to instantiate a send on all selected tracks, …
a. press and hold Option-Shift (Mac OS) or Alt-Shift (Windows) while instantiating a send on any track in the session.
b. press and hold Option-Shift (Mac OS) or Alt-Shift (Windows) while instantiating a send on one of the selected track in the session.
c. press and hold Command-Shift (Mac OS) or Control-Shift (Windows) while while instantiating a send on any track in the session.
d. press and hold Command-Shift (Mac OS) or Control-Shift (Windows) while while instantiating a send on one of the selected track in the session.
e. press and hold Command-Option-Shift (Mac OS) or Control-Alt-Shift (Windows) while instantiating a send on any track in the session.
b. press and hold Option-Shift (Mac OS) or Alt-Shift (Windows) while instantiating a send on one of the selected track in the session.
