Situational Questions (a notepad is recommended):

17. Your computer based rig running a full DAW (i.e. ProTools, Logic, or DP) consists of the following:
- Audio Device 1 (AD1): 4 channel In (2 analog, 2 S/PDIF) / 8 channel out audio interface
- Audio Device 2 (AD2): Microphone Preamp with S/PDIF out and internal clock with corresponding microphone
- MIDI Device 1 (MIDI1): 2x2 USB MIDI Interface
- MIDI Device 2 (Key): Keyboard Workstation (i.e. Korg Triton, Yamaha MOTIF, Roland Fantom)

You want to do the following all at the same time with this rig (assume monitoring has already been sorted out):
- Record vocals
- Record keyboard stereo out
- Play and sequence software synthesizer in DAW from keyboard without triggering internal synth.
- Have pre-sequenced drum part in DAW sequencer send to keyboard synth to have audio of drum part recorded in DAW.

What following setup would accomplish the preceding (assume AD1 and MIDI1 are properly connected and installed on host computer)?

A. Setup 1
- AD2 S/PDIF Out → AD1 (internal sync) S/PDIF In
- Key Stereo Out → AD1 Analog Input ½
- Key MIDI Out 1 → MIDI1 In 1
- MIDI1 Out 1 → Key MIDI In 1
- Set Workstation synth to ‘Multitimbral/Multichannel Performance Mode’ or equivalent and enable channel 10 drums
- Set keyboard MIDI to ‘Local On’ or equivalent and to send to MIDI channel 1
- In DAW arm corresponding AD1 S/PDIF channel input for vocals
- In DAW arm corresponding AD1 analog channel inputs for Synth recording
- In DAW arm instrument track with softsynth and set input to MIDI channel 1 from MIDI1 In 1
- In DAW set sequenced drums to send through MIDI channel 10 from MID1 Out 1


B. Setup 2
- AD2 S/PDIF Out → AD1 (S/PDIF Sync) S/PDIF In
- Key Stereo Out → AD1 Analog Input ½
- Key MIDI Out 1 → MIDI1 In 1
- MIDI1 Out 1 → Key MIDI In 1
- Set Workstation synth to ‘Multitimbral/Multichannel Performance Mode’ or equivalent and enable channel 10 drums
- Set keyboard MIDI to ‘Local Off’ or equivalent and to send to MIDI channel 1
- In DAW arm corresponding AD1 S/PDIF channel input for vocals
- In DAW arm corresponding AD1 analog channel inputs for Synth recording
- In DAW arm instrument track with softsynth and set input to MIDI channel 1 from MIDI1 In 1
- In DAW set sequenced drums to send through MIDI channel 10 from MID1 Out 1

C. Setup 3
- AD2 S/PDIF Out → AD1 (S/PDIF Sync) S/PDIF In
- Key Stereo Out → AD1 Analog Input ½
- Key MIDI Out 1 → MIDI1 Out 1
- MIDI1 In 1 → Key MIDI In 1
- Set Workstation synth to ‘Multitimbral/Multichannel Performance Mode’ or equivalent and enable channel 10 drums
- Set keyboard MIDI to ‘Local Off’ or equivalent and to send to MIDI channel 1
- In DAW arm corresponding AD1 S/PDIF channel input for vocals
- In DAW arm corresponding AD1 analog channel inputs for Synth recording
- In DAW arm instrument track with softsynth and set input to MIDI channel 1 from MIDI1 In 1
- In DAW set sequenced drums to send through MIDI channel 10 from MID1 Out


18. You just recorded a vocal where the hard consonants such as ‘s’ sounds and ‘t’ sounds are far too bright and cutting in the mix, which following plug in could possibly eliminate this problem?
A. Channel EQ and dip -6db at 200hz
B. DeEsser
C. Compressor with a ratio of 10:1
D. Limiter
E. None of the above.



Troubleshooting Questions:

19. You are running a bus powered FireWire audio interface with XLR microphone inputs connected (via 6 pin FireWire) to a notebook being powered via its (the notebook’s) AC power supply and you notice a low hum, how would you best temporarily eliminate this hum?
A. Flip the plug around on the notebook to reverse the polarity of the incoming power.
B. Increase the buffer size in the DAW to reduce the noise floor.
C. Engage the pads on the XLR inputs since their high sensitivity makes them susceptible to a bad AC connection.
D. Unplug the notebook and run it off of its battery.
E. Restart the computer to let the FireWire bus reassign its power host to the device.

20. You have a very fast computer with plenty of RAM, yet you are playing a software synth that has an unacceptable level of latency from a USB Keyboard controller, what following procedures could solve this problem?
A. Connect the MIDI output from controller keyboard through a different USB interface apart from its own to reduce MIDI redundancy.
B. Lower the buffer size in the host application.
C. Set the softsynth to ‘anticipation mode’.
D. Adjust your playing style.
E. All of the above.

hmm, ich denke, er meint OMS, nicht QMS.
