Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Narrowing the Stereo image to match the image and/or increase the mono-compatibility






2. To copy the diital data off a storage medium in the RAM of a computer






3. In stereo - This is the breakthough between channels measured as separation between the wanted sounds of the desired channel and the unwanted sounds from the second channel. (OR - bleed across multiple channels)






4. Assistant Director (No Analog to Digital here!)






5. A single extension cord. Most often referred to a single 'hot' extension that is left lying around for occassional use. (Grip/Lighting)






6. A signal in disc recording that is earlier than the signal being recorded. It allows the operator to 'listen in' in order to anticipate amplitude changes and adjust.






7. A studio that specializes in assembly of pre-recorded material such as music - VO - and dialogue






8. (Headroom) The amount of dB between the highest peak level of the program and the overload point (clip point)






9. A type of solo circuit that allows listening to a channel before the fader of after (solo)






10. A single extension cord. Most often referred to a single 'hot' extension that is left lying around for occassional use. (Grip/Lighting)






11. A condition of Zero - or (original position for an automation control)






12. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






13. I don't know! Go do your own research! No - really....






14. 500 Ohms or less






15. Pressure zone miking






16. Narrowing the Stereo image to match the image and/or increase the mono-compatibility






17. Assistant Director (No Analog to Digital here!)






18. (reverberant field)






19. National Association of Broadcasters -






20. To copy the diital data off a storage medium in the RAM of a computer






21. A condition of Zero - or (original position for an automation control)






22. Could mean anything. Most commonly used to describe the ADR process or that of duplication






23. The SMPTE time that will trigger a transport to begin - or the amount of position difference needed to get two sources to synchronize






24. National Association of Broadcasters -






25. A studio that specializes in assembly of pre-recorded material such as music - VO - and dialogue






26. A factor of human hearing where delay has a much bigger effect on the human perception of sound than does amplitude






27. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






28. Physical slap-board used to sync location recording. A voice recording at the beginning of a master tape (or recording) to identify the run and take






29. Physical slap-board used to sync location recording. A voice recording at the beginning of a master tape (or recording) to identify the run and take






30. Pressure zone miking






31. The point a distance away from the sound source where the direct sound and the reverberant sound are equal in volume






32. A very short absence of signal in magnetic recording usually caused by dirt or defects in the magnetic coating of tapes and discs or any very short loss to an audio signal.






33. 500 Ohms or less






34. Mix Engineer






35. Safety Take (an additional recording done as an acceptable backup)






36. To set and interconnect two mixers so that the stereo mixing buss(es) are linked






37. A system of recording a 60Hz tone - used for syncing on a 1/4 inch tape - developed by Nagra






38. The level difference between the signal and the noise and distortion caused by converting analog audio signals into digital audio and then back into analog.






39. I don't know! Go do your own research! No - really....






40. Recording video and/or audio in sequence immediately following previous material






41. A type of solo circuit that allows listening to a channel before the fader of after (solo)






42. A boosting of high frequencies during the recording process to keep the signal above the noise at high frequencies






43. (Headroom) The amount of dB between the highest peak level of the program and the overload point (clip point)






44. A signal in disc recording that is earlier than the signal being recorded. It allows the operator to 'listen in' in order to anticipate amplitude changes and adjust.






45. Modular Digital Multitrack: A multitrack digital recorder with (usually) 8 tracks that can be run in sunchronization with other machines (of the same type) to attain more tracks. ADAT brand recorders are an example






46. A factor of human hearing where delay has a much bigger effect on the human perception of sound than does amplitude






47. Time data in the MIDI signal that advances one step each 1/24 of a beat and can be used to sync two sequencer together






48. The SMPTE time that will trigger a transport to begin - or the amount of position difference needed to get two sources to synchronize






49. Recording video and/or audio in sequence immediately following previous material






50. Duh! The signal level exceeds the processing capacity of the signal chain components
