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






2. 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






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






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






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






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






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






8. (reverberant field)






9. 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






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






11. Pressure zone miking






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






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






14. One half byte - 4 information bits






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






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






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






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






19. 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.






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






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 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.






23. 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






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






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






26. EQ - Boost gain






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






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






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






30. 500 Ohms or less






31. Placing a microphone in the reverberant field






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






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






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






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






36. One half byte - 4 information bits






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






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






39. EQ - Boost gain






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






41. 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






42. Mix Engineer






43. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






44. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






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






46. 500 Ohms or less






47. 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.






48. Pressure zone miking






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






50. 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
