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. Occurs in a specific timeline or order






2. Allows sounds to be heard out of sequence.






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






4. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






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






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






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






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






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






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






11. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






12. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






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






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






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






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






17. The reflections that occur in a room






18. 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






19. The reflections that occur in a room






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






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






22. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






23. Directing the signal to various destinations






24. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






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






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






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






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






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






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






31. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






32. Captures reflections off a metal plate






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






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






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






36. Occurs in a specific timeline or order






37. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






38. Speed correction necessary when converting film to digital.






39. Speed correction necessary when converting film to digital.






40. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






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






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






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






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






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






46. 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






47. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






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






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






50. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement
