Audio Engineering Console Layouts and Signal Processing Concepts, Exams of Music

Berklee College of MusicMusic

A concise overview of audio engineering concepts, focusing on console layouts, signal processing techniques, and monitoring methods. It covers essential topics such as signal-to-noise ratio, wet to dry ratio, headroom, and various signal processing effects like reverb, delay, chorus, phaser, and flanger. Additionally, it includes practical questions related to console operation and headphone mixing, making it a valuable resource for students and audio professionals seeking a quick reference guide to key audio engineering principles and practices. The document also touches on metering, inserts, and aux sends, offering a comprehensive snapshot of essential audio engineering workflows.

why should aux split be pre fader? to adjust faders without changing headphone mix why should aux split be post fader? to maintain wet to dry ratio with time based processors 2 most common meters LED and VU what measurement does LED meter take? peak what measurement does VU meter take? RMS (root mean square) what does peak measure? the highest transient what does VU measure? the average how to send any fader to the stereo bus on the SSL origin LF to mix or SF to mix what is a normal? pre existing connection between 2 points full normal breaks at input and output half normal breaks only at input open normal no pre existing connection mult copies signal to multiple outputs what are the 2 components to an insert send and return do inserts come before or after fader? always before the fader what does an insert do

the generation of discrete repeats of the input signal at regularly spaced intervals. delay parameters delay time, feedback delay time the time from the initial sound to the first repeat feedback how many times it repeats; the amount of regeneration sent back to the processor for additional repeats (measured in %) what percentage is the first repeat always at? 100% of the volume of the original signal special delay settings slapback, runaway slapback delay feedback set to 0% resulting in only one repeat runaway delay feedback is set to 100%, resulting in a neverending repeat chorus "more than once" natural chorus recording the same thing more than once chorus effect results from a device that causes the source to be phase shifted in such a manner that "dip" frequencies vary dip frequencies the result of changes in amplitude vibrato periodic changes in pitch of a waveform (frequency modulation) tremolo periodic changes in the volume of a waveform (amplitude modulation) chorus rate

speed of oscillation chorus depth how far they are modulated from each other pHaseR high rate and low depth fLangeR low rate high depth headphone mix rule # make sure you are listening to the same mix as the artist what % is the first repeat in delay and reverb? 100% headphone mix rule # make sure you are always wearing headphones when adjusting levels headphone mix rule # review the aux method questions and make sure to follow them headphone mix rule # always communicate with the artist
