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. Uses a reflector dish to focus sound waves






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






3. General ambience of a location.






4. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






5. General ambience of a location.






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






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






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






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






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






11. Directing the signal to various destinations






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






13. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






14. Use sliders to boost and/or cut frequencies






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






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






17. Enables the Sound Designer to become the audio programmer






18. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies






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






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






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






22. Determines audio assets needed for a scene.






23. 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






24. Captures reflections off a metal plate






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






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






27. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






36. Directing the signal to various destinations






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






38. Occurs in a specific timeline or order






39. 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






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






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






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






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






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






45. Combined signals that exhibit phase cancellation and reinforcement






46. The reflections that occur in a room






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






48. 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






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






50. An inaccurate reproduction of frequencies
