1
Some widely-used types of transistors are...
step-up & step-down transistors
triode & pentode transistors
silicon, FET, and germanium transistors
2
Delay times for Flanging are typically...
under 10 milliseconds
over 50 milliseconds
over 30 milliseconds
3
The three controls for each band of a parametric EQ are...
lowpass highpass, & notch
gain, center frequency, & Q
gain, boost, & cut
4
A variable-mu compressor...
uses a special tube with variable bias in the detection circuit
utilizes a particular transistor in the detection circuit
uses a photoresistor in the detection circuit
5
Linear-phase processing...
usually adds significant latency
is never appropriate for mastering
is a zero-latency effect
6
DDL stands for...
Digital Delay Line
Dynamic Digital Limiter
Drop-Down Limiter
7
Digital clipping...
is usually less harsh than analog clipping
increases gradually as levels approach maximum
is usually harsher than analog clipping
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
A lowpass filter...
attenuates everything below a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything above a cutoff frequency
passes everything above a cutoff frequency
10
A Limiter...
corrects tempo variations above a user-specified bpm
is a compressor with a Ratio of 10:1–20:1 or higher
auto-corrects pitches above & below a user-specified range
11
A compressor's Ratio...
determines the level above which gain-reduction kicks in
determines the frequencies that are subject to gain-reduction
determines the amount of gain-reduction applied
12
A Compressor...
increases dynamic range
speeds up recorded audio without changing the pitch
reduces dynamic range
13
An IR is...
an Infinite Reverb, a type of special-effect reverb plug-in
an Internal Reverb, a reverb effect built in to a DAW
an Impulse Response, the real room sample used in a convolution reverb
14
In parallel compression...
a copy of the signal is compressed & mixed with the uncompressed version
all controls are set to the same value
two compressors are used one after the other for a more subtle compression characteristic
15
A program-dependent compressor...
works only on certain user-selected musical styles
is the only kind that can be automated
has variable time constants
16
True Peak metering...
isolates the loudest frequency in a mix
shows the average signal level of a mix
estimates inter-sample peaks
17
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
18
Digital distortion plug-ins usualy include...
pitch-shifting and LFO modulation
distorted echoes & an edgy flanging effect
digital clipping, quantization distortion, & aliasing
19
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
20
A parametric EQ's "Q" controls...
adjusts the bandwidth of each band
set the center frequency of each band
determine the range of boost & cut for each band
21
In mixing distortion is...
never useful and should always be avoided
sometimes useful as a warming effect in small amounts
only useful in heavy metal and nu-metal musical genres
22
Loudness Maximzing is...
the practice of limitng transients to achieve higher average levels
the practice of boosting highs for a louder-sounding mix
the practice of pumping up the bass for a louder-sounding mix
23
When the tops & bottoms of a wave are clipped, the result is...
amplitude modulation
harmonic distortion
noise gating
24
A noise gate...
attenuates pitchy notes in a vocal track
removes bakground sound (like leakage) inbetween words & phrases
removes bakground sound (like leakage) present at the same time as the main part
25
Feedback can be used for...
repeating echo effects
removing clipping from an already-recorded track
after-the-fact pitch correction
