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. Allows sounds to be heard out of sequence.






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






3. Captures reflections off a metal plate






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






5. Captures reflections off a metal plate






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






7. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






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






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






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






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






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






13. Cutting the level






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






15. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






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






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






18. 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






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






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






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






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






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






24. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






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






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






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






28. 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






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






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






31. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






32. 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






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






34. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






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






36. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






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






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






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






40. Directing the signal to various destinations






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






42. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






43. Cutting the level






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






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






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






47. The reflections that occur in a room






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






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






50. General ambience of a location.
