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.

2. National Association of Broadcasters -






3. National Association of Broadcasters -






4. 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






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






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






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






8. Using the MIDI cable to transfer digital






9. 500 Ohms or less






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






11. 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.






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






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






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






15. 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.






16. 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






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






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






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






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






21. Placing a microphone in the reverberant field






22. 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)






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






24. 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






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






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






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






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






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






30. 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






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






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






33. (reverberant field)






34. 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






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






36. 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.






37. 500 Ohms or less






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






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






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






41. Placing a microphone in the reverberant field






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






43. EQ - Boost gain






44. One half byte - 4 information bits






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






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






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






48. Pressure zone miking






49. One half byte - 4 information bits






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