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






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






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






4. 500 Ohms or less






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






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






7. 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.






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






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






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






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






12. 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.






13. National Association of Broadcasters -






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






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






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






17. EQ - Boost gain






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






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






20. 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






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






22. 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






23. One half byte - 4 information bits






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






25. 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






26. 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






27. 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.






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






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






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






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






32. Pressure zone miking






33. National Association of Broadcasters -






34. Pressure zone miking






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






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






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






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






39. Mix Engineer






40. EQ - Boost gain






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






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






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






44. One half byte - 4 information bits






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






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






47. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






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






49. 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.






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