True
False
7
The Precedence Effect deals with...

the loudest perceived track in a mix
8
Live End Dead End ™ is an approach to...
deciding which way a microphone should be pointing
building a project studio
positioning the musicians for a recording

9
In a reverberant sound field, diffusion relates to...
the number of different spaces provided in a reverb plug-in
In a reverberant sound field, diffusion relates to...

the density and timing of reflections
10
An anechoic chamber is...
a Live-End Dead-End™ space for mixing
a very live space, usually for testing applications
a completely dead space, usually for testing applications
an echo chamber
11
A reverberant sound field consists of...
dense reverberation, flanging effects, & compressed echoes
dense reverberation, phasing effects, & compressed echoes
an initial reflection, early reflections, & later denser reverberation
an impulse and a response
12
Phase is...
a measurment of the period of one cycle of a sound wave
a period when novice mixers tend to use too much EQ

13
The "mirror trick" is...
a technique to imitate the playing style of another musician

17
Wavelength is...
the decay time of a note with a gradual falloff in level
the distance a wave travels in the time it takes to complete one cycle

False
True
19
Absorption occurs when sound waves hit...
a hard surface like wood or glass
another wave
a porous surface like foam
a flexible room boundary
20
Psychoacoustics refers to...

how our brains interperet audio signals from our ears
how our ears respond to dangerously loud sound waves
how our ears respond to bad music
21
One effective technique for soundproofing a studio is...
using earplugs
an anechoic chamber
the generous application of egg cartons affixed to the walls
