| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| compressor | reduce the dynamic range of signal. turn down the louds, bring up the lows |
| Limiter | compressors with high ratios |
| threshold | the level at which compression begins |
| ratio | the difference between how much volume exceeds the input and how much the output is produced |
| gain reduction | how much volume the compressor has taken. |
| output | compressor setting that compensates for the gain reduction |
| attack | the time it takes for the compressor to react |
| release | the time it takes for the compressor to cease gain reduction after the signal has dropped back below the threshold |
| knee | how the compressor engages the audio as its volume rises toward and over the threshold |
| expander | used to increase dynamic range |
| gate | it turns volume down all the way so theres no output below threshold |
| range | the maximum amount that the expander is allowed to turn the signal down. |
| summing amp | an active combining network is also known as? |
| frequency response of human hearing | 20hz to 20khz |
| inline console | input, output and monitor section in same module |
| headphones are always | pre |
| effects are always | post |
| mics that require phantom power | condenser |
| Multitrack mode that that allows you to listen to live signal but doesn't allow playback | all input |
| cardiod | unidirectional polar pattern |
| a discrete/seperate delay | 100 ms |
| flanging | moving comb filter |
| reverb | dense reflections/repititions |
| mechanical reverb | spring and plate |
| spaced pair | two omnidirectional mics |
| decca tree | three omnidirectional mics |
| binaural | baffle |
| X/Y | 2 cardiods 90 degrees |
| stereosonic (blumlien) | 2 birectional 90 degrees |
| Middle side | 1 cardiod 2 birdirectional |
| SMPTE | society of motion pictures and television engineers |
| LTC | linear time code |
| VTC | video interval timecode |
| sampling rate | frequency response |
| bit depth | dynamic range |
| Foley | human sound effects |
| DI boxes | high to low impedance |
| passive DI box | transformer |
| active DI box | requires phantom power |
