| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| M6 | |
| What does the gain control in an EQ allow you to do? | Increase (boost) or decrease (cut) the level of selected frequencies |
| What does an equalizer (EQ) primarily do in audio processing? | Adjusts the frequency balance of a signal |
| What does Bandwidth (Q) control in an EQ? | The width of the frequency band affected around the center frequency |
| What does dynamic range in audio refer to? | The difference between the quietest and loudest parts of a recording, measured in dB |
| Which knee setting generally sounds smoother because compression doesn’t begin as quickly? | Soft knee |
| What does Attack time represent on a compressor? | How long it takes the signal to be fully compressed to the set ratio after crossing the threshold |
| Which statement about a graphic EQ is correct? | It divides the audible range into fixed frequency bands with fixed bandwidth, and only gain is adjustable |
| In EQ terminology, what does the Frequency parameter refer to? | The center frequency you want to boost or cut |
| Gating works best when the noise level is close to the desired signal level. | False |
| What is the primary function of a noise gate (gating)? | To allow signals to pass only if they exceed a threshold, helping remove low-level background sounds |
| What does Release time represent on a compressor? | How long it takes the signal to revert from being affected to uncompressed |
| What is the primary goal of audio compression? | Decrease dynamic range by making loud sounds quieter and quiet sounds louder |
| Why are some graphic EQs with 8 or fewer bands often sought after? | They are musical in their frequency selections and easy to use |
| Why is make-up gain used after compression? | To restore the overall level that was reduced by compression |
| Why are parametric EQs considered highly versatile? | They handle broad tonal changes and precise surgical corrections |
| In a graphic EQ, gain is the only adjustable parameter per band. | True |
| Limiters are conceptually the same as compressors but use higher ratios (e.g., 10:1 or more). | True |
| EQ can help compensate for acoustic anomalies in a listening environment. | True |
| Which statement about a parametric EQ is correct? | Gain, frequency, and bandwidth (Q) are adjustable |
| Expansion amplifies the loudest parts of a signal and attenuates the quietest parts. | True |
| At low levels of gain reduction, faster release times often sound more natural. | True |
| What mainly differentiates a graphic EQ from a parametric EQ? | The adjustability of gain, frequency, and bandwidth (Q) |
| Boosting the quiet parts of a limited dynamic range never introduces noise or distortion. | False |
| What is a limiter primarily used for? | To prevent signal peaks from exceeding a set point and to increase perceived loudness without clipping |
| Which of the following is NOT one of the three principal EQ parameters? | Tempo |
| Which statement about a graphic EQ is correct? | It divides the audible range into fixed frequency bands with fixed bandwidth, and only gain is adjustable |
| EQ can be used in mastering to make small tonal adjustments or to create continuity between tracks. | True |
| A fully parametric EQ only allows adjustments at fixed frequencies. | False |
| What does the Threshold control on a compressor define? | The level at which compression begins |
| In compression, what does the Ratio control specify? | The amount of attenuation applied once the signal reaches the threshold |
| A fully parametric EQ only allows adjustments at fixed frequencies. | . |
| M7 | |
| What does the Chorus option (in Chorus/Flanger) do to achieve a lush, rich sound? | Adds multiple short delays with a small amount of feedback |
| Surround Reverb can add surround ambience even to mono or stereo sources. | True |
| Using the basic Delay effect, delays between 15–34 milliseconds can create which type of result? | Simple chorus or flanging effect |
| The Flanger option creates its characteristic sound by: | Mixing a varying, short delay with the original signal |
| Which reverb effect is faster and less processor‑intensive because it is not convolution‑based, making it suitable for real‑time changes in the Multitrack Editor? | Studio Reverb |
| In the Echo effect, what technique can change a room’s perceived brightness or darkness? | Equalizing the delays |
| If you want quick adjustments with fewer settings compared to Full Reverb, which effect might you prefer? | Reverb |
| Compared to flanging, phasing achieves its effect by: | Sweeping a series of phase‑shifting filters to and from an upper frequency |
| In a DAW, audio routing refers to: | The path a signal takes from its source until it reaches the output or is bounced to a file |
| The Phaser effect uses variable short delays like a flanger to create movement. | False |
| The Full Reverb effect provides fewer options and lower quality rendering than the basic Reverb effect. | False |
| What distinguishes an aux (return) channel from a group bus? | An aux uses a separate send from the source channel while the main output can still go elsewhere |
| In the Reverb effect, which parameter can be adjusted to give a sense of room size? | Pre-Delay Time |
| Delays of 35 milliseconds or more generally create discrete echoes. | True |
| Which statement best describes reverberation? | Reflected sounds arriving closely together, creating a sense of space |
| The Full Reverb effect in Adobe Audition is primarily characterized by which of the following? | It is convolution-based and avoids ringing and metallic artifacts |
| Historically, the flanging effect was first created by: | Running identical signals to two tape machines and pressing the flange of one reel to slow it |
| What is a (mix) bus in a DAW? | A channel that collects signal from multiple channels and bundles them into one |
| In general, delays of approximately what duration create discrete echoes rather than subtle ambience? | 35 milliseconds or more |
| The Surround Reverb effect is primarily intended for which type of source? | 5.1 sources |
| Which effect simulates the sonic warmth of vintage hardware delay units? | Analog Delay |
| Delays between 15–34 milliseconds in the Delay effect can yield simple chorus or flanging results. | True |
| Classic tape flanging was achieved by sending the same audio to two reel‑to‑reel machines and slowing one by pressing its flange. | True |
| Chorus typically relies on long delays and heavy feedback to create its effect. | False |
| Which Adobe Audition effect uses impulse files to simulate acoustic spaces from small closets to concert halls? | Convolution Reverb |
| Studio Reverb is not convolution‑based, making it less CPU‑intensive and faster for real‑time work. | True |
| Which unique option in Full Reverb simulates room irregularities? | Perception |
| The Modulation > Flanger effect in software lets you emulate classic flanging by: | Slightly delaying and phasing a signal at specific or random intervals |
| When using an aux channel, a duplicate signal is sent to the aux via a send, and the processed result is then returned to the mix while the source’s main output remains available. | True |
