6
A noise gate...
removes bakground sound (like leakage) inbetween words & phrases
removes bakground sound (like leakage) present at the same time as the main part
attenuates pitchy notes in a vocal track
7
An Algorithmic reverb creates reverberation...
by recording (sampling) the sound of a real room
placing a speaker & mics in a dedicated empty room
by accumulating digital delays
8
In parallel compression...
a copy of the signal is compressed & mixed with the uncompressed version
two compressors are used one after the other for a more subtle compression characteristic
all controls are set to the same value
9
DDL stands for...

11
Buss processing refers to...
effects added to the LR stereo master channel strip
processing used on the way in while recording
processing used on individual tracks in a mix
12
True Peak metering...
estimates inter-sample peaks
shows the average signal level of a mix
isolates the loudest frequency in a mix
13
A Multiband compresor...
must be instantiated on several individual tracks, all linked together
compresses different frequency ranges independently
is specifically intended for multitrack drum recordings
14
A Brickwall limiter...
sets an absolute maximum signal level
should be used on every track in a mix
sharply attenuates everything above a certain frequency
15
Another name for a tube is...
a transformer
a valve
an FET
16
Spectral Processing
a dedicated reflective room
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
uses Fourier analysis to identify & isolate individual elements embedded in an audio recording
17

repeating echo effects
20
Dynamics processing includes...
compression/limiting & expansion/gating
parametric processing & octave-band processing
modulation & feedback
21
A compressor's Ratio...
determines the amount of gain-reduction applied
determines the level above which gain-reduction kicks in
determines the frequencies that are subject to gain-reduction
22
Linear-phase processing...
is never appropriate for mastering
is a zero-latency effect
usually adds significant latency
23
Loudness Maximzing is...
the practice of limitng transients to achieve higher average levels
