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






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






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






4. 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






5. Software Synthesizers - These may be reproductions of existing instruments or completely new unheard of instruments.






6. Software Synthesizers - These may be reproductions of existing instruments or completely new unheard of instruments.






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






8. Directing the signal to various destinations






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






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






11. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






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






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






14. Captures reflections off a metal plate






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






16. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






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






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






19. Allows sounds to be heard out of sequence.






20. Occurs in a specific timeline or order






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






22. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






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






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






25. Directing the signal to various destinations






26. Restricts dynamic range by making loud sounds softer and softer sounds louder






27. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






28. VST - AU - RTAS - Direct X - HD-TDM






29. Similar to dynamic mics - but use a thin metal ribbon instead of a moving coil.






30. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






31. 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






32. Cutting the level






33. A speaker is aimed at a large metal sheet suspended in a tension mount. Mics capture reflection off of the plate.






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






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






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






37. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






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






39. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






40. A speaker is aimed at a large metal sheet suspended in a tension mount. Mics capture reflection off of the plate.






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






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






43. 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






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






45. The reflections that occur in a room






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






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






48. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






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






50. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.
