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. Captures reflections off a metal plate






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






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






5. Directing the signal to various destinations






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






7. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






8. Cutting the level






9. Allows sounds to be heard out of sequence.






10. Directing the signal to various destinations






11. The reflections that occur in a room






12. General ambience of a location.






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






14. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






15. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






16. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






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






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






20. Allows sounds to be heard out of sequence.






21. 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






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






23. Optimizing the signal level between multiple devices






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






25. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. Occurs in a specific timeline or order






33. General ambience of a location.






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






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






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






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






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






39. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






40. Speed correction necessary when converting film to digital.






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






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






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






44. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






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






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






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






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






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






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