| Question | Answer |
|---|---|

| The XY stereo technique is primarily time-based. | False |
| In an AB setup, which microphone type typically provides a more natural bass response? | Omnidirectional |
| With which polar pattern is the proximity effect most pronounced? | Figure-8 |
| Which statement about the omnidirectional pattern is TRUE? | It has equal sensitivity in all directions and is least sensitive to handling/wind noise |
| In an XY setup, how should the microphone capsules be positioned? | As close as possible, essentially on top of each other |
| Using a matched stereo pair is most beneficial for which technique? | XY |
| The cardioid polar pattern is generally: | Most sensitive at 0° and least sensitive at 180° |
| A cardioid microphone is least sensitive at 0° and most sensitive at 180°. | False(opposites) |
| Which statement about the figure-8 pattern is CORRECT? | It has same sensitivity at 0° and 180°, least at 90°/270°, and the highest side rejection |
| Which is a potential drawback when using an omnidirectional mic? | In bad rooms it may yield unsatisfactory results, and feedback can be an issue live |
| The figure-8 pattern offers the highest side rejection among common polar patterns. | True |
| Before recording in a multitrack session in Audition, you must: | Arm the desired track(s) by clicking the R button |
| The XY stereo technique primarily relies on which cue to create the stereo image? | Level difference |
| In Adobe Audition’s default (Audio File) mode, recording will: | Capture only one audio input |
| What is the proximity effect? | Increase in bass when the microphone is very close to the source |
| Two signals that are 180° out of phase will cancel completely when summed to mono. | True |
| A 90° out-of-phase relationship between two signals produces complete cancellation when summed to mono. | False(Partial Cancellation) |
| Compared to other patterns, omnidirectional mics are the most sensitive to handling and wind noise. | False(Figure-8) |
| The ORTF technique uses both time and level differences to create the stereo effect. | True |
| m4 | |
| Why should you listen through an entire recording before applying restoration tools? | To identify which types of noise are present and need removal |
| If changing rooms is not an option, what can help mitigate echo? | The correct audio plug-in that reduces reverberation and targets certain frequencies |
| Why can lavalier microphone rustle be difficult to remove? | It may occur while the speaker is talking, risking damage to the voice when targeting frequencies |
| What is a key advantage of non-destructive editing? | It references the original file so edits don’t rewrite it, allowing multiple versions |
| Which situation is wind noise especially associated with? | Outdoor field recordings |
| A high-pass filter can help remove low-frequency hum. | True |
| A noise gate reduces or cuts sound when the audio level drops below a set threshold. | True |
| A noise reduction filter that targets background noise like hiss and hum is called a: | Denoiser |
| What is the role of machine-learning pop removers in post-production? | They remove pop sounds without affecting overall audio quality |
| Which technique is described as time-consuming but offering full control for removing noise between phrases? | Manual silencing or trimming between phrases or notes |
| What best describes destructive editing? | Editing that permanently alters the original audio file waveform |
| Spectral editing and repair is primarily based on editing audio using the: | Frequency spectrum rather than the waveform |
| Plosive sounds are mainly caused by which type of speech sounds? | Hard consonants like P, T, C, K, B, and J |
| What is the goal of audio leveling? | To fix sound levels so the audio sounds cohesive and professional |
| Noise reduction is the process of minimizing or removing unwanted sounds from an audio recording. | True |
| What best describes destructive editing? | Editing that permanently alters the original audio file waveform |
| The goal of noise reduction is always to remove every trace of noise from the recording. | False |
| Non-destructive editing rewrites the original audio file each time you make an edit. | False |
| A low-pass filter can cut high-frequency hiss. | True |
| Spectral editing and repair can be done in real time or offline depending on the software. | True |
| What is the primary purpose of audio restoration? | To remove imperfections and improve overall audio quality |
| Which two tools are mentioned as ways to help prevent plosives during recording? | Pop filters and microphones with built-in pop filters |
| Which technique is described as time-consuming but offering full control for removing noise between phrases? | Manual silencing or trimming between phrases or notes |
| Which is a mastering-related benefit of spectral editing mentioned in the module? | It helps achieve a more balanced and transparent sound by adjusting frequency balance and dynamics |
| In the module, clicks are often associated with: | Digital clipping or sudden distortion (often from touching the microphone) |
| How does a de-clicker typically identify and fix clicks? | By using a spectrum analyzer to find click-related frequencies and repairing them |
| A frequency spectrum is best defined as: | A visual representation of amplitude and phase of different frequencies in a sound |
| What most commonly causes echo in an audio recording? | Reverberation of specific frequencies within the recording environment |
| M5 | |
| What is the best tool recommended to keep Foley details organized during pre-production? | A detailed cue sheet |
| Modern film editing allows Foley artists to focus on individual sounds and do multiple takes. | True |
| Which of the following is listed as an everyday sound Foley artists commonly recreate? | Footsteps |
| Which set of columns is specifically suggested for a simple cue sheet? | Timecode, character/object, sound description, prop ideas/notes |
| How were Foley effects originally recorded for a film? | In one long take while the film was projected, timing every effect |
| Which of the following is listed as a cause of audio-video sync issues? | Signal processing delays from different devices processing at different speeds |
| In the module, “Specifics (Props)” refers to: | Sounds that are not movement or footsteps (e.g., phone ring, door creak) |
| In the cue sheet example, what prop idea is suggested for “Footsteps on gravel path”? | A shallow tray of kitty litter |
| According to the module, why do films feel “too quiet” without Foley? | Movies without background noise are so quiet audiences may think sound has gone out |
| A Foley stage is typically equipped with thousands of objects, textures, and surfaces. | True |
| Most scenes typically use which approach to sound effects according to the module? | A combination of field recordings and Foley effects |
| Which statement best reflects how Foley enhances a film? | It makes scenes more realistic and immersive, often without being noticed |
| A cue sheet must be a complex, fancy document to be useful. | False |
| Foley sound got its name from which person? | Jack Foley |
| Audio-video synchronization (syncing) is used to ensure that: | Sound matches what is seen in video (e.g., lips match dialogue) |
| What best describes Foley? | Creating and performing everyday sounds in sync with picture during post-production |
| Foley effects are intended only to replace field recordings and never work with them. | False |
| During spotting, environmental interaction includes noting surface changes (e.g., wood vs carpet). | True |
| Using high-quality HDMI or SDI cables can help minimize transmission delays. | True |
| Which option best matches the “Movement (Cloth)” Foley category? | The sound of clothing brushing or rustling as people move |
| Foley artists create sounds during post-production in synchrony with the picture. | True |
| The most effective Foley sounds are those the audience clearly notices in every scene. | False |
