1
Digital clipping...
increases gradually as levels approach maximum
is usually less harsh than analog clipping
is usually harsher than analog clipping
2
Filter resonance is...
a narrow boost just before the cutoff frequency
a wide boost centered at around 1 kHz
a deep notch within a narrow frequency range
3
In parallel compression...
a copy of the signal is compressed & mixed with the uncompressed version
all controls are set to the same value
two compressors are used one after the other for a more subtle compression characteristic
4
In mixing distortion is...
never useful and should always be avoided
sometimes useful as a warming effect in small amounts
only useful in heavy metal and nu-metal musical genres
5
Bi-amped studio monitors...
have separate amps for the left & right speakers
use a single mono amp for both speakers
have separate amps for the woofer & tweeter
6
DDL stands for...
Digital Delay Line
Dynamic Digital Limiter
Drop-Down Limiter
7
A noise gate...
attenuates pitchy notes in a vocal track
removes bakground sound (like leakage) present at the same time as the main part
removes bakground sound (like leakage) inbetween words & phrases
8
A Plate reverb is...
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
a mechanical device with a metal sheet
a dedicated reflective room
9
An Algorithmic reverb creates reverberation...
by recording (sampling) the sound of a real room
placing a speaker & mics in a dedicated empty room
by accumulating digital delays
10
Spectral Processing
uses Fourier analysis to identify & isolate individual elements embedded in an audio recording
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
a dedicated reflective room
11
An IR is...
an Internal Reverb, a reverb effect built in to a DAW
an Impulse Response, the real room sample used in a convolution reverb
an Infinite Reverb, a type of special-effect reverb plug-in
12
Mic preamps all provide...
onboard EQ & delay-based effects
gain & the correct impedance for microphones
enough gain for line-level devices
13
Loudness Maximzing is...
the practice of pumping up the bass for a louder-sounding mix
the practice of boosting highs for a louder-sounding mix
the practice of limitng transients to achieve higher average levels
14
Digital distortion plug-ins usualy include...
distorted echoes & an edgy flanging effect
digital clipping, quantization distortion, & aliasing
pitch-shifting and LFO modulation
15
In a compressor Make-up gain...
restores level after gain-reduction has been applied
compensates for out-of-tune notes in a vocal
automatically matches the level of other tracks in the mix
16
Rt60 refes to...
the name of a famous delay unit
the length (decay time) of a reverb tail
the average cost of a digital reverb plug-in
the initial delay time in a reverberant sound field (in milliseconds)
17
A 4-pole filter has a slope of...
24 dB/octave
12 dB/octave
6 dB/octave
18
Delay times for Chorusing are typically...
between around 15-25 milliseconds
under 10 milliseconds
over 50 milliseconds
19
A FET compressor...
usually has a fast, aggressive response characteristic
uses a special tube with variable bias
usually has a very slow, subtle response characteristic
20
A variable-mu compressor...
uses a special tube with variable bias in the detection circuit
utilizes a particular transistor in the detection circuit
uses a photoresistor in the detection circuit
21
Buss processing refers to...
processing used on the way in while recording
effects added to the LR stereo master channel strip
processing used on individual tracks in a mix
22
The Loudness War refers to...
the common industry practice of trying to make the vocals louder than everything else in a mix
the common industry practice of trying to make a mix as loud or louder than every other mix
the common industry practice of trying to make the drums louder than everything else in a mix
23
A Compressor...
reduces dynamic range
increases dynamic range
speeds up recorded audio without changing the pitch
24
The three controls for each band of a parametric EQ are...
gain, boost, & cut
gain, center frequency, & Q
lowpass highpass, & notch
25
When Threshold is crossed a soft-knee response...
applies more gain reduction to high frequencies
has a gradual onset of gain-reduction
has an immediate onset of gain-reduction
