silicon, FET, and germanium transistors
step-up & step-down transistors
triode & pentode transistors
3
A FET compressor…
usually has a very slow, subtle response characteristic
usually has a fast, aggressive response characteristic
uses a special tube with variable bias
4
Spectral Processing
a mechanical device with tensioned springs

Delay times for Flanging are typically…
over 50 milliseconds
under 10 milliseconds
over 30 milliseconds
6
True or False: all compressors have Attack & Release controls.
True
False
7
Feedback can be used for…
removing clipping from an already-recorded track
after-the-fact pitch correction
repeating echo effects
8
Delay-based echo effects…
utilize delay times within the Haas Eeffect's Fusion Zone
utilize delay times above 30-50 milliseconds
utilize delay times below 30-50 milliseconds
9
Buss processing refers to…
effects added to the LR stereo master channel strip
processing used on individual tracks in a mix
processing used on the way in while recording
10
When Threshold is crossed a soft-knee response…
applies more gain reduction to high frequencies
has an immediate onset of gain-reduction
has a gradual onset of gain-reduction
11
Mic preamps all provide…
onboard EQ & delay-based effects
enough gain for line-level devices
gain & the correct impedance for microphones
12
A Convolution reverb creates reverberation…
by accumulating digital delays
by recording (sampling) the sound of a real room
placing a speaker & mics in a dedicated empty room
13
A 4-pole filter has a slope of…
6 dB/octave
12 dB/octave
24 dB/octave
14
A Limiter…
corrects tempo variations above a user-specified bpm
auto-corrects pitches above & below a user-specified range
is a compressor with a Ratio of 10:1–20:1 or higher
15
A noise gate…
attenuates pitchy notes in a vocal track
removes bakground sound (like leakage) inbetween words & phrases
removes bakground sound (like leakage) present at the same time as the main part
16
Dynamics processing includes…
parametric processing & octave-band processing
compression/limiting & expansion/gating
modulation & feedback
17
A program-dependent compressor…
has variable time constants
is the only kind that can be automated
works only on certain user-selected musical styles
18
A high-frequency shelving EQ band (shelf)…
boosts or cuts all frequencies around a center frequency
boosts or cuts all frequencies above a corner frequency
boosts or cuts all frequencies below a corner frequency
19
The Loudness War refers to…
the common industry practice of trying to make a mix as loud or louder than every other mix
the common industry practice of trying to make the vocals louder than everything else in a mix
the common industry practice of trying to make the drums louder than everything else in a mix
20
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
21
A studio's Reverb Chamber is…
a mechanical device with a metal sheet
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
a dedicated reflective room
22
The three controls for each band of a parametric EQ are…
lowpass highpass, & notch
gain, boost, & cut
gain, center frequency, & Q
23
A lowpass filter…
attenuates everything below a cutoff frequency
passes everything above a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything above a cutoff frequency
24
A compressor's Ratio…
determines the level above which gain-reduction kicks in
determines the amount of gain-reduction applied
determines the frequencies that are subject to gain-reduction
25
An IR is…
an Internal Reverb, a reverb effect built in to a DAW
an Infinite Reverb, a type of special-effect reverb plug-in
an Impulse Response, the real room sample used in a convolution reverb
