AE 156 Final
Audio Engineering Final
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Threshold | The level at which input signals passing above it will be compressed according to the ratio |
| Ratio | The amount of compression applied to a signal after it passes above the threshold level. At a ratio 4:1 the output level will be one fourth that of the input level |
| Attack Time | the time between when the signal passes above the threshold level and when the compression begins. |
| Release Time | the time between when the signal passes below the threshold level and compression stops |
| Output | The make-up gain control at the output stage of the compressor |
| Difference between a gate and expander | gate eliminates the signal as it passes below the threshold level (if the ratio is at maximum) Expanders make the same signal quieter , but not eliminate it |
| How does the threshold level adjustment on an expander affect the sound? | When a signal passes below the threshold level it will be made quieter according to the ratio setting. Quiet sounds become even quieter. |
| Starting Ratio for bass compression | 4:1 |
| Vocal compression ratio | 2:1 |
| Limiting happens when ratio exceeds... | 10:1 |
| In Line patching | completely alters dry signal without the use of side chaining |
| Side Chain patching | Allows a signal to be duplicated and processed to mix wet and dry |
| 3 ways to return a signal to the board | signal return through channel inputs signal return through aux return signal return through channel insert |
| Proper signal flow order for patching reverb | 1 Patch aux out to reverb; reverb out to 2 seperate line inputs 2 Aux master to unity 3 Aux send on dry channel to healthy level (watch input lvl on EFX unit) 4 adjust input/output on EFX 5 line-in 6 stereo buss 7 Pan L-R 8 PFL/Trim 9 unmute-fad |
| which mic picks up more above 12kHz? 451 or SM 81? | AKG 451 |
