1
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
2
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
3
Feedback can be used for...
repeating echo effects
removing clipping from an already-recorded track
after-the-fact pitch correction
4
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
5
Tape Saturation adds...
subtle distortion and compression
a doubling effect in large amounts
a subtle reverb-like effect
6
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
7
Rt60 refes to...
the average cost of a digital reverb plug-in
the name of a famous delay unit
the length (decay time) of a reverb tail
the initial delay time in a reverberant sound field (in milliseconds)
8
In a compressor Make-up gain...
restores level after gain-reduction has been applied
automatically matches the level of other tracks in the mix
compensates for out-of-tune notes in a vocal
9
In mixing distortion is...
sometimes useful as a warming effect in small amounts
only useful in heavy metal and nu-metal musical genres
never useful and should always be avoided
10
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
11
The three controls for each band of a parametric EQ are...
lowpass highpass, & notch
gain, boost, & cut
gain, center frequency, & Q
12
The Loudness War refers to...
the common industry practice of trying to make the drums 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 vocals louder than everything else in a mix
13
A Limiter...
is a compressor with a Ratio of 10:1–20:1 or higher
auto-corrects pitches above & below a user-specified range
corrects tempo variations above a user-specified bpm
14
A compressor's Ratio...
determines the amount of gain-reduction applied
determines the frequencies that are subject to gain-reduction
determines the level above which gain-reduction kicks in
15
A program-dependent compressor...
is the only kind that can be automated
has variable time constants
works only on certain user-selected musical styles
16
A Compressor...
reduces dynamic range
increases dynamic range
speeds up recorded audio without changing the pitch
17
A lowpass filter...
attenuates everything above a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything below a cutoff frequency
passes everything above a cutoff frequency
18
The main function of Audio Repair software is...
to auto-correct the pitch of vocals within a stereo mix
to quantizes the timing of drums within a stereo mix
to fix common audio problems like background noise, leakage, & clipped audio
19
A Plate reverb is...
a mechanical device with a metal sheet
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
a dedicated reflective room
20
Delay-based echo effects...
utilize delay times within the Haas Eeffect's Fusion Zone
utilize delay times above 30-50 milliseconds
utilize delay times below 30-50 milliseconds
21
When the tops & bottoms of a wave are clipped, the result is...
harmonic distortion
amplitude modulation
noise gating
22
Mastering most commonly involves...
reverb, echo & saturation
EQ, compression, and limiting
pitch & time shifting
23
In parallel compression...
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
all controls are set to the same value
24
Linear-phase processing...
usually adds significant latency
is a zero-latency effect
is never appropriate for mastering
25
A Convolution 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
