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. Pressure zone miking






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






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






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






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






6. 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






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






8. 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)






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






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






11. (reverberant field)






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






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






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






15. 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.






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






17. Mix Engineer






18. (reverberant field)






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. Rerecording the audio. The picture stays the same.






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






22. EQ - Boost gain






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






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






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






26. National Association of Broadcasters -






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






28. 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.






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






30. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






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






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






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






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






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






36. 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






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






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






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






40. 500 Ohms or less






41. 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






42. National Association of Broadcasters -






43. Placing a microphone in the reverberant field






44. Placing a microphone in the reverberant field






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






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






47. 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.






48. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






49. 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






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