RecW Core Final
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 |
