1
Digital clipping...
increases gradually as levels approach maximum
is usually harsher than analog clipping
is usually less harsh than analog clipping
2
A variable-mu compressor...
utilizes a particular transistor in the detection circuit
uses a photoresistor in the detection circuit
uses a special tube with variable bias in the detection circuit
3
Another name for a tube is...
an FET
a valve
a transformer
4
A Phaser generates its effect via...
a delay of over 30 milliseconds
a series of all-pass filters
a specialized tube with variable bias
5
In a compressor Make-up gain...
automatically matches the level of other tracks in the mix
compensates for out-of-tune notes in a vocal
restores level after gain-reduction has been applied
6
When the tops & bottoms of a wave are clipped, the result is...
amplitude modulation
noise gating
harmonic distortion
7
True or False: all compressors have Attack & Release controls.
True
False
8
A parametric EQ's "Q" controls...
determine the range of boost & cut for each band
adjusts the bandwidth of each band
set the center frequency of each band
9
A Compressor...
speeds up recorded audio without changing the pitch
reduces dynamic range
increases dynamic range
10
Delay-based echo effects...
utilize delay times within the Haas Eeffect's Fusion Zone
utilize delay times below 30-50 milliseconds
utilize delay times above 30-50 milliseconds
11
The goal of de-essing is to...
attenuate the level of background music when a voiceover comes along
apply pitch-shifting to simplify melodies that are too busy
remove excessive sibilance in a vocal track
12
DDL stands for...
Dynamic Digital Limiter
Digital Delay Line
Drop-Down Limiter
13
Mic preamps all provide...
gain & the correct impedance for microphones
onboard EQ & delay-based effects
enough gain for line-level devices
14
Some widely-used types of transistors are...
step-up & step-down transistors
silicon, FET, and germanium transistors
triode & pentode transistors
15
Filter resonance is...
a wide boost centered at around 1 kHz
a deep notch within a narrow frequency range
a narrow boost just before the cutoff frequency
16
An IR is...
an Infinite Reverb, a type of special-effect reverb plug-in
an Impulse Response, the real room sample used in a convolution reverb
an Internal Reverb, a reverb effect built in to a DAW
17
A 4-pole filter has a slope of...
24 dB/octave
12 dB/octave
6 dB/octave
18
An Algorithmic reverb creates reverberation...
by accumulating digital delays
placing a speaker & mics in a dedicated empty room
by recording (sampling) the sound of a real room
19
Mastering most commonly involves...
EQ, compression, and limiting
reverb, echo & saturation
pitch & time shifting
20
Feedback can be used for...
after-the-fact pitch correction
repeating echo effects
removing clipping from an already-recorded track
21
Digital distortion plug-ins usualy include...
distorted echoes & an edgy flanging effect
digital clipping, quantization distortion, & aliasing
pitch-shifting and LFO modulation
22
In parallel compression...
all controls are set to the same value
a copy of the signal is compressed & mixed with the uncompressed version
two compressors are used one after the other for a more subtle compression characteristic
23
A high-frequency shelving EQ band (shelf)...
boosts or cuts all frequencies below a corner frequency
boosts or cuts all frequencies around a center frequency
boosts or cuts all frequencies above a corner frequency
24
A lowpass filter...
passes everything above a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything below a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything above a cutoff frequency
25
A Limiter...
auto-corrects pitches above & below a user-specified range
corrects tempo variations above a user-specified bpm
is a compressor with a Ratio of 10:1–20:1 or higher
