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. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






2. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






9. (reverberant field)






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






11. 500 Ohms or less






12. National Association of Broadcasters -






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






14. 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.






15. One half byte - 4 information bits






16. Pressure zone miking






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






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






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. Placing a microphone in the reverberant field






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






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






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






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






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






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






27. 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.






28. 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






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






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






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






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






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






34. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






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






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






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






38. 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)






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






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






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






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






43. 500 Ohms or less






44. 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






45. 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)






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






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






48. EQ - Boost gain






49. Mix Engineer






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