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






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






3. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






4. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






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






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






7. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






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






9. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






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






11. 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






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






13. Speed correction necessary when converting film to digital.






14. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






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






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






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






18. The reflections that occur in a room






19. Captures reflections off a metal plate






20. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






21. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






22. 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






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






24. 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






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






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






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






28. Cutting the level






29. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






30. 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






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






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






33. General ambience of a location.






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






35. Directing the signal to various destinations






36. The reflections that occur in a room






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






38. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






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






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






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






42. Occurs in a specific timeline or order






43. Cutting the level






44. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






45. Allows sounds to be heard out of sequence.






46. Directing the signal to various destinations






47. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






48. Captures reflections off a metal plate






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






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