the common industry practice of trying to make a mix as loud or louder than every other mix
2
A Phaser generates its effect via...
a series of all-pass filters
a delay of over 30 milliseconds
a specialized tube with variable bias
3
A lowpass filter...
passes everything above a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything below a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything above a cutoff frequency
4
Digital clipping...
increases gradually as levels approach maximum
is usually harsher than analog clipping
is usually less harsh than analog clipping
5
A Brickwall limiter...
sharply attenuates everything above a certain frequency
sets an absolute maximum signal level
should be used on every track in a mix
6
An IR is...
an Internal Reverb, a reverb effect built in to a DAW
an Infinite Reverb, a type of special-effect reverb plug-in
an Impulse Response, the real room sample used in a convolution reverb
7
A Multiband compresor...
must be instantiated on several individual tracks, all linked together
is specifically intended for multitrack drum recordings
compresses different frequency ranges independently
8
The three controls for each band of a parametric EQ are...
lowpass highpass, & notch
gain, center frequency, & Q
gain, boost, & cut
9
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
10
A parametric EQ's "Q" controls...
set the center frequency of each band
adjusts the bandwidth of each band
determine the range of boost & cut for each band
11
A classic example of an opto compressor is...
the dbx 160
the Urei 1176
the Teletronix LA-2A
12
True Peak metering...
estimates inter-sample peaks
isolates the loudest frequency in a mix
shows the average signal level of a mix
13
Linear-phase processing...
is never appropriate for mastering
is a zero-latency effect
usually adds significant latency
14
Delay times for Flanging are typically...
over 50 milliseconds
under 10 milliseconds
over 30 milliseconds
15
The function of ducking is to...
remove excessive sibilance in a vocal track
attenuate the level of background music when a voiceover comes along

16
True or False: all compressors have Attack & Release controls.
True
False
17
A VCA compressor...
uses a voltage-controlled amplifier
uses a light & a photoresistor
uses a varible-bias tube
18

boosts or cuts all frequencies below a corner frequency
boosts or cuts all frequencies around a center frequency
19
DDL stands for...
Digital Delay Line
Dynamic Digital Limiter
Drop-Down Limiter
20
Mastering most commonly involves...
EQ, compression, and limiting
pitch & time shifting
reverb, echo & saturation
21
Some widely-used types of transistors are...

A Plate reverb is...
a mechanical device with a metal sheet
a dedicated reflective room
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
24
When the tops & bottoms of a wave are clipped, the result is...
harmonic distortion
amplitude modulation
noise gating
25
A noise gate...
removes bakground sound (like leakage) inbetween words & phrases
removes bakground sound (like leakage) present at the same time as the main part
attenuates pitchy notes in a vocal track
