1
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
2
Loudness Maximzing is...
the practice of boosting highs for a louder-sounding mix
the practice of limitng transients to achieve higher average levels
the practice of pumping up the bass for a louder-sounding mix
3
Another name for a tube is...
a valve
a transformer
an FET
4
A classic example of an opto compressor is...
the Teletronix LA-2A
the Urei 1176
the dbx 160
5
Dynamics processing includes...
compression/limiting & expansion/gating
modulation & feedback
parametric processing & octave-band processing
6
A Compressor...
increases dynamic range
reduces dynamic range
speeds up recorded audio without changing the pitch
7
A compressor's Ratio...
determines the frequencies that are subject to gain-reduction
determines the amount of gain-reduction applied
determines the level above which gain-reduction kicks in
8
A program-dependent compressor...
has variable time constants
is the only kind that can be automated
works only on certain user-selected musical styles
9
A noise gate...
removes bakground sound (like leakage) present at the same time as the main part
removes bakground sound (like leakage) inbetween words & phrases
attenuates pitchy notes in a vocal track
10
The function of ducking is to...
remove excessive sibilance in a vocal track
attenuate the level of background music when a voiceover comes along
attenuate notes that fall outside the song's home key
11
Tape Saturation adds...
a doubling effect in large amounts
subtle distortion and compression
a subtle reverb-like effect
12
A 4-pole filter has a slope of...
24 dB/octave
6 dB/octave
12 dB/octave
13
Audio applications for transformers include...
converting Audio recordings to MIDI
converting analog signal to digital
changing volatge levels & matching impedances
14
A FET compressor...
usually has a very slow, subtle response characteristic
uses a special tube with variable bias
usually has a fast, aggressive response characteristic
15
A Multiband compresor...
must be instantiated on several individual tracks, all linked together
compresses different frequency ranges independently
is specifically intended for multitrack drum recordings
16
A Phaser generates its effect via...
a series of all-pass filters
a delay of over 30 milliseconds
a specialized tube with variable bias
17
In a delay effect Modulation...
adds resonance to the signal
increases the amount of feedback
varies the manually-set delay time
18
Some widely-used types of transistors are...
step-up & step-down transistors
triode & pentode transistors
silicon, FET, and germanium transistors
19
In parallel compression...
two compressors are used one after the other for a more subtle compression characteristic
all controls are set to the same value
a copy of the signal is compressed & mixed with the uncompressed version
20
Delay times for Chorusing are typically...
between around 15-25 milliseconds
over 50 milliseconds
under 10 milliseconds
21
True or False: all compressors have Attack & Release controls.
False
True
22
A lowpass filter...
passes everything above a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything above a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything below a cutoff frequency
23
A Brickwall limiter...
should be used on every track in a mix
sharply attenuates everything above a certain frequency
sets an absolute maximum signal level
24
An Algorithmic reverb creates reverberation...
by recording (sampling) the sound of a real room
by accumulating digital delays
placing a speaker & mics in a dedicated empty room
25
True Peak metering...
isolates the loudest frequency in a mix
estimates inter-sample peaks
shows the average signal level of a mix
