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. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






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






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






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






6. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






7. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






8. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






9. Cutting the level






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






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






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






13. 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






14. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






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






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






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






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






19. Cutting the level






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






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






22. Directing the signal to various destinations






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






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






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






26. General ambience of a location.






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






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






29. Captures reflections off a metal plate






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






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






32. General ambience of a location.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. Occurs in a specific timeline or order






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






42. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






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






44. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






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






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






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






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






49. Captures reflections off a metal plate






50. 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
