Q

A/B aux send

Stereo; A left, B right

31
Q

Aux button pairs

A

A and B
1 and 2
3 and 4

32
Q

Aux Section Functions: Pre / Post

A

Pre or Post designates whether the split will occur before or after fader level

33
Q

Aux Section Functions: Fader

A

Pushing Fader will designate the split to be taken from the Fader Fader (big fader) - not pushing fader will designate the split to be taken from the Monitor Fader (small fader) by default

34
Q

Aux Section Functions: A/B default

A

Pre fader split from the Monitor Fader

35
Q

Neotek has how many mono aux sends?

A

4 mono aux sends

36
Q

Aux send potentiometers do what?

A

They determine how much level is sent from a source to a destination

37
Q

If buttons are up on the Neotek, are the words on the buttons being activated?

A

No. The exact opposite of the word on the buttons is what is happening by default. When you push the button, then you activate the word on the button

38
Q

Every aux send has a corresponding ________

A

Aux bus master

39
Q

Nominal level on aux bus masters

A

7

40
Q

Why is 7 nominal level on aux bus masters

A

7 allows extra headroom

41
Q

3 configurations the Neotek can be set to

A
  1. Tracking
  2. Reverse Tracking
  3. Mixdown Mode
42
Q

How many paths are there in Mixdown mode?

A

One - the monitor path, because it begins at the MTR

43
Q

How do inserts and aux sends differ?

A

Inserts takes the same original signal, reroutes it to outboard gear (dynamic processors) and brings it back to the board - similar to a series circuit, one loop.
Aux sends creates a copy of the original signal, sends the copy to outboard gear (time-based processors) and brings that new wet signal back to the board to run ‘parallel’ to the original signal - similar to a parallel circuit.

44
Q

Nominal level on Cue Masters

A

5

45
Q

What are the two options to create a Headphone mix?

A

On A/B or Cue 1/2

46
Q

Why are Headphone mixes usually on A/B aux sends?

A

Because the default for A/B is pre-fader

47
Q

Which do you turn up first: Aux sends on the channel or the Aux bus master? Explain

A

The aux bus master, because if you turn on all the signal flowing into it, and then open the door last (aux bus master), we can’t hear what we’re sending into it, and we might blast our listener. It’s safer to open the door (aux bus master), then turn up the aux sends feeding it so we can hear the levels and avoid harming anyone’s ears

48
Q

Explain how to make a headphone mix on Cue 1/2

A

You would have to push in PRE and FADER on the aux send strip because Aux 1/2 (cue 1/2 when being used for a headphone mix) is defaulted to POST and MONITOR. Then you would have to accept the signal on the Cue Master bus, pressing in Aux 1 or 2, and then turn up the Cue Master to nominal 5.

49
Q

Talkback

A

How you communicate with the artist in the studio

  1. studio speakers - goes to the speakers in the studio
  2. slate - goes onto all the multitracks and can be recorded
  3. A/B, Cue 1/2 - goes straight to headphones
50
Q

How to use talkback

A

You turn on whichever method of your choice (studio speakers, slate, A/B, Cue1/2) by pressing in its button, then push the Talkback button, and turn up the gain slowly while speaking into it until you can be heard

51
Q

Is A/B one headphone mix?

A

Yes

52
Q

Is Cue 1/2 one headphone mix?

A

No - these can be two separate headphone mixes

53
Q

On the Neotek, how many mixes can you essentially make?

A

4: Control room mix, A/B headphone mix, Cue 1 headphone mix, and Cue 2 headphone mix

54
Q

Rule 1 for Headphone mixes

A

Make sure you’re listening to the same mix as the artist

55
Q

Rule 2 for Headphone mixes

A

Make sure you’re always wearing the headphone/cans when building or adjusting levels

56
Q

Rule 3 for Headphone mixes

A

Review the Aux method questions and make sure:
Splitting off the return path
Splitting pre-fader

57
Q

Rule 4 for Headphone mixes

A

Always communicate with the artist

58
Q

Step 1 to build a Headphone mix and how

A

Open the path

AUX > Cue 1

59
Q

Step 2 to build a Headphone mix and how

A

You hear the artist
Microphone > SB
Quickest way: Turn up pre-amp, press REV below the S-Curve - this sends the signal straight to the SB

60
Q

Step 3 to build a Headphone mix and how

A

Artist hears you

Talkback > Cue 1

61
Q

Step 4 to build a Headphone mix and how

A

Artist hears themselves

Turn up the Aux master to nominal, then slowly turn up the Aux send

62
Q

Step 5 to build a Headphone mix and how

A

Now turn up the Aux sends on each channel that are assigned to the Headphone mix

63
Q

Two types of analog meters

A

Segmented LED (light meter) and Volume Unit/VU (needle meter)

64
Q

VU reads ________

A

Volume, specifically RMS

65
Q

LED reads ________

A

Volume, and can measure peak amplitude and RMS

66
Q

On the Neotek, Direct Outs go out on what channels?

A

27 to 32

67
Q

How many Multitrack busses are there?

A

26

68
Q

dB amount that can be boosted/cut on the EQs

A

12 dB

69
Q

Y-Split

A

A split from the Fader fader path into the Monitor fader path, after being processed by an insert, filter, or EQ.

70
Q

How to activate Y-Split

A

Press both ‘IN’ buttons on the I/O (pre-fader)
or
Press both MIC and BUS above the S-Curve (post-fader)

71
Q

Highest frequency the High Pass filter can be dialed to on the Neotek

A

375

72
Q

When mixing, your aux send(s) for purposes of parallel compression should be post-fader. T/F

A

False. If you were to adjust the original faders in your parallel compression scheme, the signal on the way to the compressor would change, altering the way the threshold reacted to the incoming signal, therefore affecting the amount of compression on the compressed track. So we want the parallel compression to be PRE so it will not be affected by any changes if we adjusted the original faders.

73
Q

Mode MTR-90 should be in for Mixdown session

A

All Repro

74
Q

Signal flow order for the console’s EQ, Filter, and Insert

A

Filter > Insert > EQ
