MP100 FINAL EXAM
At the Conservatory which module is not normalled in signal flow? - ANSWERS-lower 200 module In signal flow which outputs feed the bus masters? - ANSWERS- multitrack busses 1- 24 Which of the following is not considered a signal processing module?

adjustments are made to the level, tone, and spatial positioning of the sources? - ANSWERS-Mixing What is the name of the recorder that is designed to record the stereo mix? - ANSWERS-MDR What is the name of the MDR in studios C and B - ANSWERS-Alesis Masterlink What is the term for a device that will change one form of energy to another corresponding form of energy? - ANSWERS-transducer What are the three MAIN steps to the multi-track recording process? - ANSWERS-recording, overdubbing, then mixing How does the root mean square (RMS) value measure amplitude - ANSWERS-it measures the average of peak amplitude. The warmer the temperature, the a sound pressure wave will travel through the air. - ANSWERS-faster T/F: The velocity of a sound pressure wave increases at a rate of 1. feet per second for each Fahrenheit degree increase in temperature - ANSWERS-True T/F: Reflections can cause phase shift. - ANSWERS-true
The is a fader which receives signal from its same- numbered multitrack buss. Feedback The correct answer is: Source fader - ANSWERS-group fader T/F: Input mode arms the track allowing the MTR to record signal. - ANSWERS-false T/F: On an in-line console, the monitor section (monitor path) was often inferior in quality. - ANSWERS-false What style of console has an upgraded monitor section? - ANSWERS-in-line T/F: Recording consoles are single path? - ANSWERS-false; they usually have two a balanced interconnect has signal carrying conductors - ANSWERS-2; positive and negative For a balanced interconnect the positive signal is in or out of phase? - ANSWERS-in-phase ORTF is a stereo miking technique. - ANSWERS-Near- Coincidental
The diaphragms of the microphones are place 17cm (6.75 inches) apart and are angled 110 degrees apart. - ANSWERS-Near- Coincidental T/F: The Mid-Side technique requires a stereo microphone. - ANSWERS-false The Side (bi-directional) microphone is sent through a mult to double the signal. It is not a stereo microphone. The M/S technique requires two mono microphones, one cardioid and one bi-directional. - ANSWERS-Mid-Side When using the Blumlein system, you will capture more of the reflections from the room. - ANSWERS-yes By utilizing two microphones in figure-of-eight - ANSWERS- Blumlein A group fader falls between the and the in signal flow.
- ANSWERS-MTB and MTR How do I access any input to any fader on the Neotek Elite? - ANSWERS-input selector switches How many possible console inputs are there? - ANSWERS-4: mic, tape, line., and group signal on the I/O
T/F: The monitor faders ALWAYS feed the SB. - ANSWERS-true T/F: The Tascam M3500's inputs are Mic, Line, and Group signal on the I/O. - ANSWERS-false; no group signal on the I/O T/F: When the REV button is up on the Neotek, large fader feeds the MTB, and the small fader feeds the SB. - ANSWERS-true What modes should the MTR be in while mixing? - ANSWERS-all safe and all repro What faders should you use to mix? - ANSWERS-large faders T/F: You should mix on the channel path. - ANSWERS-true The MTR must be in to receive signal. - ANSWERS-input What channels on the Neotek Elite offer direct outputs? - ANSWERS- 27 - 32 What is the one and only button on the Neotek Elite that deals with outputs of the faders?\ - ANSWERS-REV A time based processor should be inserted? - ANSWERS-no
Any adjustments made in the channel path while tracking will affect the levels at the MTR. - ANSWERS-true T/F: On the Neotek Elite, the faders are fixed in their respective paths.
- ANSWERS-true T/F: To get the MIC input to the large Fader Fader on the Neotek Elite, press MIC below the S-Curve. - ANSWERS-False A passive monitor needs what to work? - ANSWERS-an amplifier and speaker cable An active monitor needs what to work? - ANSWERS-power and line level Analog tape is made out of? - ANSWERS-iron oxide How do you initialize the MTR-90? - ANSWERS-STOP How many multitrack busses does the Neotek have? - ANSWERS- 26 Who invented analog tape? - ANSWERS-The germans The MTR-90, HD-24, Pro Tools, and Logic are what kind of audio recorders? - ANSWERS-multitrack recorders
- ANSWERS-Tape Echo
- ANSWERS-plate reverb What is multi-voice oscillation? - ANSWERS-Physical movement of multiple voices against each other What percent of the original signal will the first repeat in a delay effect be? - ANSWERS-100% When there is a difference in , there is a difference in , when there is a difference in , there is a difference in.
- ANSWERS-Time, Phase, Phase, Tone Chorus, reverb, phaser, and delay are what? - ANSWERS-TBP Which of these definitions most closely describes reverb? - ANSWERS-Random Multiple echos T/F: Reverb happens in the brain. - ANSWERS-true The slate button routes the console's talkback microphone to the following: - ANSWERS-MTB, SB, MTR, and MDR
The talkback activation button functions as a switch.
- ANSWERS-momentary To play the control room/monitor mix over the studio loud speakers you must press which button? - ANSWERS-Control Room to studio How many solo switches are there on the Neotek I/O module? - ANSWERS- 3 A compressor is what type of processor? - ANSWERS-dynamic Does compression happen above or below the threshold? - ANSWERS-above Is ratio a constant or variable? - ANSWERS-constant Should a compressor be patched across the aux send or insert? - ANSWERS-insert What happens with a 1:1 ratio? - ANSWERS-nothing; bypass T/F:Compression will never meet nor exceed the threshold level. - ANSWERS-true On a high/low pass filter, frequencies attenuated less than 3dB are in the. - ANSWERS-passband
T/F: A selectable frequency EQ allows the user to choose any frequency the user likes. - ANSWERS-false T/F: On a graphic EQ, the physical positions of the controls give a "graphic" representation of the overall frequency response curve. - ANSWERS-true T/F: On a parametric EQ, as the Q increases, so does the bandwidth. - ANSWERS-false; it gets smaller T/F: The passive filter was created before the active filter. - ANSWERS-true On the Neotek, how many dB can any given Q (in the EQ section) on a mono I/O be amplified or attenuated? - ANSWERS-12 dB T/F: When mixing, your auxiliary send(s) for purposes of parallel compression should be post-fader. - ANSWERS-false Does gating happen above or below the threshold level? - ANSWERS-below On a gate, if you wanted to accept the sidechain or key input, what button must be pressed? - ANSWERS-Key Range is also known as. - ANSWERS-Ratio
For non-destructive gating, should you use a gate going to tape or from tape? - ANSWERS-from tape The amount of time it takes for the gate to open is called the what? - ANSWERS-Attack The amount of time it takes the level to attenuate once the signal falls below the threshold level is called the what? - ANSWERS-release What does key listen do? - ANSWERS-listens to the high and low filters What is the difference between a gate and expander? - ANSWERS- Expander is making the soft signal softer while gating is getting rid of it all together Correct What parameter sets the amount of time for the gate to remain open? - ANSWERS-Hold What buttons must be pushed on the Neotek to put the console into "Reverse Tracking" mode? - ANSWERS-Mic, Line, Rev When using an outboard microphone preamplifier in Studio B, the mic pre output should be patched into which console input? - ANSWERS-insert return
