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