Logic Pro 9 Lesson 9 Flashcards
Upon completion of Lesson Nine, “Mixing” in “Logic Pro 9 and Logic Express 9,” you should be able to complete the following tasks. Items from this lesson are included in the pool of exam questions, drawn randomly from the following objectives: • Navigate the Mixer and use effect plug-ins • Adjust volume levels and use groups • Adjust pan positions • Filter frequencies with the Channel EQ plug-in • Process with aux sends and aux channel strips • Add depth with delay and reverberation plug-i
Identify the four main instrument sound components that you can adjust to give each instrument its place in a mix.
- Volume level, pan position, frequency spectrum, and depth.
For what purpose do you use an aux send?
You use an aux send to route some of the signal from a channel strip to an aux channel strip, usually to be processed by plug-ins.
How can you temporarily link the parameters of several
channel strips?
Select multiple channel strips in the Mixer to temporarily link their parameters.
How can you permanently link the parameters of several channel strips?
By using groups. Click the Group slot on a channel strip to choose a group to assign that channel strip to.
How can you adjust the level of an individual channel strip assigned to a group?
Choose Options > Group Clutch to toggle the groups on and off.
Where is an aux send positioned in the signal flow of a channel strip?
By default, aux sends are positioned after the volume fader but before the pan.
What does a compressor do?
It attenuates the level of a signal after that signal goes over a certain threshold, giving the signal a more consistent level.
What does a limiter do?
It works in a similar fashion to a compressor, but it makes sure that the signal is attenuated so it never goes over a certain output ceiling.
How can you choose which channel strip is displayed in the right Arrange channel strip?
On the left Arrange channel strip, click any send slot or the output slot to display the corresponding channel strip on the right.
How do you change the mono or stereo status of a channel strip?
Click the format button below the meter.
