    The TouchMix allows for phantom power to be toggled on or off for each input channel individually.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The TouchMix mixer provides the option to enable or disable phantom power for each input channel separately. This feature allows users to selectively apply phantom power to the necessary channels, which is useful when connecting condenser microphones or other devices that require phantom power. By toggling phantom power on or off for each channel individually, users have greater control and flexibility over their audio setup.

    What is the advantage of Simple and Advanced Mode?

    • Simple mode provides fewer controls to quickly adjust a particular process, while Advanced Mode gives more experienced users control over every aspect of the process.

    • Simple mode makes the text and fader heads oversized, while Advanced mode makes it intentionally difficult to read text or make changes.

    • Simple mode provides nothing but one gain fader for every channel, and Advanced mode requires a password to access further control.

    Correct Answer
    A. Simple mode provides fewer controls to quickly adjust a particular process, while Advanced Mode gives more experienced users control over every aspect of the process.
    Explanation
    Simple mode provides fewer controls to quickly adjust a particular process, while Advanced Mode gives more experienced users control over every aspect of the process. This means that in Simple mode, users have access to only the essential controls needed for basic adjustments, making it easier and quicker to make changes. On the other hand, Advanced mode offers a more comprehensive set of controls, allowing experienced users to have complete control and customization over the process. This flexibility is beneficial for those who require more precise adjustments and want to fine-tune every aspect of the process.

  • 6. 

    It is important to press the STOP button after any recording session before disconnecting the hard drive or powering down the mixer.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Pressing the STOP button after a recording session is important because it allows the hard drive and mixer to properly close and finalize the recording. This ensures that the data is saved correctly and prevents any potential loss or corruption of the recording. Disconnecting the hard drive or powering down the mixer without pressing the STOP button can result in incomplete or damaged recordings. Therefore, it is essential to press the STOP button before disconnecting or powering down.

    To update the firmware on your TouchMix with a flash drive, the drive must be formatted to use what type of file system?

    • NTFS file system

    • N64 file system

    • FAT32 file system

    Correct Answer
    A. FAT32 file system
    Explanation
    To update the firmware on your TouchMix with a flash drive, the drive must be formatted to use the FAT32 file system. This is because the TouchMix system is designed to recognize and read flash drives that are formatted in the FAT32 file system. Using any other file system, such as NTFS or N64, would result in the TouchMix system being unable to read the flash drive and therefore unable to update the firmware.

    What is the primary purpose of the Gain Wizard?

    • It indicates the amount of clipping that has occurred on each channel, and recommends how much its input trim knob should be adjusted.

    • It automatically mixes your channel’s gain faders for the best sounding band mix.

    • It normalizes all channels by adding gain to softer inputs and removing it from louder inputs.

    Correct Answer
    A. It indicates the amount of clipping that has occurred on each channel, and recommends how much its input trim knob should be adjusted.
    Explanation
    The primary purpose of the Gain Wizard is to indicate the amount of clipping that has occurred on each channel and recommend how much its input trim knob should be adjusted. This feature helps to ensure that the audio signal remains within the desired range and avoids distortion caused by clipping.

    In regards to recording, what is the difference between the Track and Arm controls on a channel?

    • Track will use the recorded track on the hard drive as the channel’s source, while Arm will enable that channel to be recorded.

    • Track will keep a log of all changes made to that channel, while Arm will restore the channel to its last saved state.

    • Track will set up the channel to be recorded onto the hard drive, and Arm will begin the recording session.

    Correct Answer
    A. Track will use the recorded track on the hard drive as the channel’s source, while Arm will enable that channel to be recorded.
    Explanation
    The difference between the Track and Arm controls on a channel is that the Track control uses the recorded track on the hard drive as the channel's source, while the Arm control enables that channel to be recorded.

    If you change any one screen from Advanced to Simple Mode, then all screens will now default to Simple Mode.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Changing one screen from Advanced to Simple Mode does not affect the default mode of all other screens. Each screen can have its own default mode, and changing the mode of one screen does not automatically change the mode of all other screens. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    What does it mean if a channel remains red in the mini-fader bank at the top of the Main screen?

    • That channel has experienced clipping.

    • That channel is muted.

    • That channel does not have anything connected to it.

    • That channel has phantom power active.

    Correct Answer
    A. That channel has experienced clipping.
    Explanation
    If a channel remains red in the mini-fader bank at the top of the Main screen, it means that the channel has experienced clipping. Clipping occurs when the audio signal exceeds the maximum level that the channel can handle, resulting in distortion. The red color indicates that the signal has reached or surpassed this threshold, alerting the user to adjust the levels to prevent further clipping and maintain audio quality.

    How could you make a 2-track mix-down of a multi-track recording on the hard drive?

    • Select all channels to use Track as their source and arm the 2-track recording channel.

    • Select “hard drive mixdown” as the source of a channel and send it to an auxiliary output.

    • This cannot be accomplished with the TouchMix, and must be done using a DAW.

    Correct Answer
    A. Select all channels to use Track as their source and arm the 2-track recording channel.
    Explanation
    The correct answer suggests that in order to make a 2-track mix-down of a multi-track recording on the hard drive, you need to select all channels to use Track as their source and arm the 2-track recording channel. This means that you are selecting all the individual tracks of the multi-track recording and routing them to the 2-track recording channel, which will create a mix-down of those tracks. This process allows you to consolidate all the tracks into a single stereo mix.

    When might a USB thumb drive be used in regards to Recording functions?

    • Only for recording a single stereo track

    • For recording all 22-tracks of a recording session

    • Never, this device is not usable for any recording purposes.

    Correct Answer
