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. 500 Ohms or less






2. Mix Engineer






3. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






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






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






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






7. 500 Ohms or less






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






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






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






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






12. National Association of Broadcasters -






13. 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.






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






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






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






17. 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






18. 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






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






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






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






22. 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.






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






24. Pressure zone miking






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






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






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






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






29. EQ - Boost gain






30. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






31. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






41. 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






42. (reverberant field)






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






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






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






46. 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)






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






48. Pressure zone miking






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






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