1
A Spectrum Analyzer...
can shows the audio as a continuous line or in segments (i.e. third-octave)
is often included in an EQ plug-in
shows phase information for the left and right channels
is a realtime display of frequency vs amplitude
2
Streaming services Spotify, Tidal, and YouTube have not adopted any standards for average streaming levels. True or false?
False
True
3
VU Meters, Peak Meters and Oscilloscopes are available in both analog and digital metering. True or false?
False
True
4
A True Peak meter...
only shows peak overages that will sound noticeably distorted
averages the level of all peaks for a true peak reading
factors in potential inter-sample peaks
5
A Vectorscope shows...
frequency information for the left and right channels
pitch information for the left and right channels
the audio as a continuous line or in segments (i.e. third-octave)
phase information for the left and right channels
6
What is a Transient?
The brief (~10-20ms) impact at the beginning of a (percussive) sound
An individual with no fixed address
The range between the noise floor and the maximum output level
The low-level sustain or decaying portion of a sound
7
The Oscilloscope, Vectorscope, Goniometer, Correlation Meter, Peak Meter, and VU Meter are ALL audio meters. True or false?
True
False
8
The traditional recommendation for the Stereo Master fader is...
to always be left at Unity Gain
to be automated based on the levels of the different musical sections in a song
to always be lowered by at least 12dB or more
to always be lowered by at least 24dB or more
9
LUFS is an acronym for...
Loudness Units For Stereo
Loudness Units Full Sampling
Level Units For Stereo
Loudness Units (referenced to) Full Scale
10
An Oscilloscope display (or the display in a DAW;s Region/Clip) shows...
amplitude vs frequency
frequency vs time
amplitude vs time
11
Spectral Editing
can be used to shape the tone of various instrument patches
can automatically calculate the best EQ for an audio track in a mix
can be used to extract sounds embedded in a complex audio wave
can be used to automatically pitch-correct audio recordings
12
A Spectrogram shows...
phase differentials between the left and right channels
amplitude, frequency, and time
variations in the overall left-right balance of a mix
pitch, rhythm, and harmony
13
A Spectrogram in a Virtual Instrument
can be used to extract sounds embedded in a complex audio wave
can be used to fix pitch anomalies in the samples in a virtual instrument
can be used to shape the tone of various instrument patches
can be used to automatically tune multi-samples to correct pitch
14
When Recording into a DAW...
levels should max out at around -6dBfs or less
levels should be pushed slightly into the red (>0dBfs) for digital warmth
levels should always be at least -1dBfs
15
A Balance Meter shows...
phase information for the left and right channels
variations in level between the different tracks in a multi-channel mix
variations in level when compression is being applied
variations in the overall left-right balance of a mix
16
In a DAW channel, an Exponential meter scale...
has equal spacing per dB
has wider spacing per dB at the top of the meter
has wider spacing per dB at the bottom of the meter
17
The ITU BS.1770 broadcast loudness recommendations are the backbone for several mandated loudness standards. True or false?
True
False
18
What is the Loudness War?
A reference to the practice of listening to music very loud when mixing or mastering
A reference to the practice of Loudness Maximizing
A reference to the different loudness standards for Broadcast and Music
A reference to the practice of turning an amp up to eleven
19
0 dBu is equivalent to 0 dBfs. True or False?
False
True
20
A Gain-Reduction meter...
shows the amount of attenuation when a compressor is active
reduces a signal's dynamic range
indicates the correct level to set in the Stereo Master channel
indicates the maximum level of the audio signal in the Stereo Master channel
