1
An Algorithmic reverb creates reverberation...
by accumulating digital delays
by recording (sampling) the sound of a real room
placing a speaker & mics in a dedicated empty room
2
When the tops & bottoms of a wave are clipped, the result is...
amplitude modulation
harmonic distortion
noise gating
3
Some widely-used types of transistors are...
step-up & step-down transistors
triode & pentode transistors
silicon, FET, and germanium transistors
4
A variable-mu compressor...
uses a photoresistor in the detection circuit
uses a special tube with variable bias in the detection circuit
utilizes a particular transistor in the detection circuit
5
In mixing distortion is...
never useful and should always be avoided
only useful in heavy metal and nu-metal musical genres
sometimes useful as a warming effect in small amounts
6
A parametric EQ's "Q" controls...
adjusts the bandwidth of each band
determine the range of boost & cut for each band
set the center frequency of each band
7
A high-frequency shelving EQ band (shelf)...
boosts or cuts all frequencies above a corner frequency
boosts or cuts all frequencies around a center frequency
boosts or cuts all frequencies below a corner frequency
8
Where is a brickwall limiter usually set when mastering?
0 dB
-1 dB
-3 dB
-0.3dB
9
A Multiband compresor...
compresses different frequency ranges independently
must be instantiated on several individual tracks, all linked together
is specifically intended for multitrack drum recordings
10
Spectral Processing
a dedicated reflective room
uses Fourier analysis to identify & isolate individual elements embedded in an audio recording
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
11
Bi-amped studio monitors...
have separate amps for the woofer & tweeter
use a single mono amp for both speakers
have separate amps for the left & right speakers
12
The goal of de-essing is to...
attenuate the level of background music when a voiceover comes along
remove excessive sibilance in a vocal track
apply pitch-shifting to simplify melodies that are too busy
13
When Threshold is crossed a soft-knee response...
has a gradual onset of gain-reduction
has an immediate onset of gain-reduction
applies more gain reduction to high frequencies
14
A Plate reverb is...
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
a dedicated reflective room
a mechanical device with a metal sheet
15
An IR is...
an Impulse Response, the real room sample used in a convolution reverb
an Internal Reverb, a reverb effect built in to a DAW
an Infinite Reverb, a type of special-effect reverb plug-in
16
A lowpass filter...
attenuates everything below a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything above a cutoff frequency
passes everything above a cutoff frequency
17
ADT stands for...
Audio Dynamic Threshold
Active Dynamic Tracking
Artifical Double-Tracking
18
A VCA compressor...
uses a varible-bias tube
uses a voltage-controlled amplifier
uses a light & a photoresistor
19
The function of ducking is to...
attenuate the level of background music when a voiceover comes along
attenuate notes that fall outside the song's home key
remove excessive sibilance in a vocal track
20
Filter resonance is...
a deep notch within a narrow frequency range
a wide boost centered at around 1 kHz
a narrow boost just before the cutoff frequency
21
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
22
A studio's Reverb Chamber is...
a mechanical device with a metal sheet
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
a dedicated reflective room
23
A classic example of an opto compressor is...
the Urei 1176
the dbx 160
the Teletronix LA-2A
24
Dynamics processing includes...
modulation & feedback
parametric processing & octave-band processing
compression/limiting & expansion/gating
25
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
