0 dB
5
Delay times for Chorusing are typically...
between around 15-25 milliseconds
under 10 milliseconds
over 50 milliseconds
6
The goal of de-essing is to...
apply pitch-shifting to simplify melodies that are too busy
attenuate the level of background music when a voiceover comes along
remove excessive sibilance in a vocal track
7
True or False: all compressors have Attack & Release controls.
False
True
8
A Plate reverb is...
a mechanical device with tensioned springs
a mechanical device with a metal sheet
a dedicated reflective room
9
Audio applications for transformers include...
converting Audio recordings to MIDI
converting analog signal to digital
changing volatge levels & matching impedances
10
A compressor's Ratio...
determines the level above which gain-reduction kicks in
determines the frequencies that are subject to gain-reduction
determines the amount of gain-reduction applied
11
Filter resonance is...
a wide boost centered at around 1 kHz
a narrow boost just before the cutoff frequency
a deep notch within a narrow frequency range
12
Rt60 refes to...
the initial delay time in a reverberant sound field (in milliseconds)
the length (decay time) of a reverb tail
the average cost of a digital reverb plug-in
the name of a famous delay unit
13
A lowpass filter...
attenuates everything above a cutoff frequency
attenuates everything below a cutoff frequency
passes everything above a cutoff frequency
14
In mixing distortion is...
only useful in heavy metal and nu-metal musical genres

18
The three controls for each band of a parametric EQ are...
gain, center frequency, & Q
lowpass highpass, & notch
gain, boost, & cut
19
Tape Saturation adds...
subtle distortion and compression
a subtle reverb-like effect
a doubling effect in large amounts
20
A VCA compressor...
uses a voltage-controlled amplifier
uses a varible-bias tube
uses a light & a photoresistor
21
A Compressor...
speeds up recorded audio without changing the pitch
reduces dynamic range
increases dynamic range
22
True Peak metering...
estimates inter-sample peaks

24
Digital clipping...
is usually harsher than analog clipping
is usually less harsh than analog clipping
increases gradually as levels approach maximum
25
A Phaser generates its effect via...
a delay of over 30 milliseconds
a specialized tube with variable bias
a series of all-pass filters
