AE 156 Final

Audio Engineering Final

QuestionAnswer
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

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
