1
When the tops & bottoms of a wave are clipped, the result is...
amplitude modulation
noise gating
harmonic distortion
2
DDL stands for...
Dynamic Digital Limiter
Drop-Down Limiter
Digital Delay Line
3
When Threshold is crossed a soft-knee response...
applies more gain reduction to high frequencies
has an immediate onset of gain-reduction
has a gradual onset of gain-reduction
4
A VCA compressor...
uses a voltage-controlled amplifier
uses a light & a photoresistor
uses a varible-bias tube
5
Audio applications for transformers include...
converting Audio recordings to MIDI
converting analog signal to digital
changing volatge levels & matching impedances
6
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
7
In a delay effect Modulation...
increases the amount of feedback
varies the manually-set delay time
adds resonance to the signal
8
Mastering most commonly involves...
EQ, compression, and limiting
pitch & time shifting
reverb, echo & saturation
9
In mixing distortion is...
only useful in heavy metal and nu-metal musical genres
never useful and should always be avoided
sometimes useful as a warming effect in small amounts
10
A high-frequency shelving EQ band (shelf)...
boosts or cuts all frequencies around a center frequency
boosts or cuts all frequencies below a corner frequency
boosts or cuts all frequencies above a corner frequency
11
The goal of de-essing is to...
attenuate the level of background music when a voiceover comes along
remove excessive sibilance in a vocal track
apply pitch-shifting to simplify melodies that are too busy
12
Feedback can be used for...
removing clipping from an already-recorded track
repeating echo effects
after-the-fact pitch correction
13
An Algorithmic reverb creates reverberation...
placing a speaker & mics in a dedicated empty room
by accumulating digital delays
by recording (sampling) the sound of a real room
14
A lowpass filter...
attenuates everything below a cutoff frequency
passes everything above a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything above a cutoff frequency
15
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
16
Bi-amped studio monitors...
have separate amps for the woofer & tweeter
use a single mono amp for both speakers
have separate amps for the left & right speakers
17
Mic preamps all provide...
gain & the correct impedance for microphones
enough gain for line-level devices
onboard EQ & delay-based effects
18
A studio's Reverb Chamber is...
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
a mechanical device with a metal sheet
a dedicated reflective room
19
Spectral Processing
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
uses Fourier analysis to identify & isolate individual elements embedded in an audio recording
a dedicated reflective room
20
A program-dependent compressor...
has variable time constants
is the only kind that can be automated
works only on certain user-selected musical styles
21
A Plate reverb is...
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
a dedicated reflective room
a mechanical device with a metal sheet
22
Where is a brickwall limiter usually set when mastering?
-3 dB
-1 dB
0 dB
-0.3dB
23
Digital clipping...
is usually harsher than analog clipping
increases gradually as levels approach maximum
is usually less harsh than analog clipping
24
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
25
Tape Saturation adds...
subtle distortion and compression
a subtle reverb-like effect
a doubling effect in large amounts
