Subject : engineering
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. Captures reflections off a metal plate






2. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






3. Contains two parallel plates-one stationary/one moving. A diaphragm is attached to the moving plate and when moved creates a voltage change that is amplified






4. Order in which a signal passes through different pieces of gear






5. The sound is directed via a tube to your mouth where it is shaped by your mouth.






6. General ambience of a location.






7. Multiple signals played back - each signal is delayed separately which creates a subtle pitch and timing difference






8. A moving coil is suspended in a magnetic field. The movement creates a current which is amplified.






9. The reflections that occur in a room






10. Jackfield - Channel/ I/O Strip - Master Section






11. Order in which a signal passes through different pieces of gear






12. Used to silence a recording or instrument during very quiet sections






13. Occurs in a specific timeline or order






14. A moving coil is suspended in a magnetic field. The movement creates a current which is amplified.






15. A chart of the sound elements in a mix.






16. The reflections that occur in a room






17. A visual representation of area - frequency response and reach.






18. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






19. Jackfield - Channel/ I/O Strip - Master Section






20. An interference tube blocks sound from the sides and back of the mic allowing the front sounds to be 'unmasked.'






21. Two signals are played back simultaneously. Small delays cause one of the signals to play out of sync. This causes a 'comb filter effect' to be created






22. Directing the signal to various destinations






23. Sound effects that are recorded live in sync with a picture






24. Captures reflections off a metal plate






25. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






26. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






27. Compilation of all footage captured for a single day. Edited and refined to make 1st cut.






28. Cutting the level






29. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






30. Moving a mic closer to a source creates an apparent increase of bass frequencies






31. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






32. The sound is directed via a tube to your mouth where it is shaped by your mouth.






33. Compilation of all footage captured for a single day. Edited and refined to make 1st cut.






34. Sound design that changes and adapts to a player's commands.






35. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






36. Cutting the level






37. Group tracks designed to minimize the number of audio tracks used at final mixdown.






38. Provides and audio and visual cue used for sync.






39. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






40. Group tracks designed to minimize the number of audio tracks used at final mixdown.






41. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






42. Music and Effects mix. Dialogue stem removed. Foreign studios replace dialogue track with local talent.






43. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






44. Enable the user to adjust every parameter of the device (frequency - amplitude - bandwidth)






45. Contains two parallel plates-one stationary/one moving. A diaphragm is attached to the moving plate and when moved creates a voltage change that is amplified






46. Sound effects that are recorded live in sync with a picture






47. A visual representation of area - frequency response and reach.






48. Speed correction necessary when converting film to digital.






49. An interference tube blocks sound from the sides and back of the mic allowing the front sounds to be 'unmasked.'






50. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices
