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






2. Directing the signal to various destinations






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






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






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






7. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






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






9. Cutting the level






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






11. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






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






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






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






15. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






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






17. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






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






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






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






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






22. Captures reflections off a metal plate






23. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






24. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






25. Speed correction necessary when converting film to digital.






26. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






27. Captures reflections off a metal plate






28. Speed correction necessary when converting film to digital.






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






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






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






32. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






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






34. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






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






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






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






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






39. The reflections that occur in a room






40. Allows sounds to be heard out of sequence.






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






42. 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






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






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






45. General ambience of a location.






46. General ambience of a location.






47. The reflections that occur in a room






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






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






50. Occurs in a specific timeline or order
