Audio By Video Vocab

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






2. 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






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






4. 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.






5. 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.






6. EQ - Boost gain






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






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






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






10. The change in frequency if a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave.






11. Natural background audio representative of the given recording environment. (Recorded as over-rolling)






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






13. National Association of Broadcasters -






14. (reverberant field)






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






16. Pressure zone miking






17. 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.






18. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






19. 500 Ohms or less






20. (reverberant field)






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






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






23. 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






24. 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






25. 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.






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






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






28. 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.






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






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






31. 500 Ohms or less






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






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






34. EQ - Boost gain






35. 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)






36. One half byte - 4 information bits






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






38. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






39. 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)






40. Rerecording the audio. The picture stays the same.






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






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






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






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






45. Natural background audio representative of the given recording environment. (Recorded as over-rolling)






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






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






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






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






50. The change in frequency if a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave.
