Audio Effects

Question 1

EQ (equalization)

Answer 1

Most common audio effect. With eq you can adjust the volume of frequency to help sounds work together sonically.

Question 2

Filter Q

Answer 2

Adjusts the resonance or bandwidth of selected filter

Question 3

Frequency

Answer 3

The speed of the vibration. . This frequency determines pitch of sound. Frequency is measured as the number wave cycles that occur in one second. Measured in hertz.

Question 4

Resonance

Answer 4

A particular frequency range of frequencies that cause an object to sympathetically vibrate. Those frequencies, when tuned, can be perceived as pitch. This is the fundamental design principle of the creation and development of musical instruments.

Question 5

Bandwidth

Answer 5

20 Hz - 20k Hz. Although there are harmonic components of audio that extend far above the 20k point.

Question 6

Stereo

Answer 6

A sound that comes from two signals. As to be able to hear the sound from a left and right speaker.

Question 7

Mono

Answer 7

One signal of sound. Hearing the same signal in both speakers.

Question 8

Peak in compression

Answer 8

Compressor responds to short peaks within a signal.

Question 9

RMS (Root Mean Square) in compression

Answer 9

Mode where compressor is less sensitive to short peaks, and responds slower

Question 10

Expand mode in compression

Answer 10

Acts as an upward expander. The output level will rise as the input level exceeds threshold.

Question 11

Gain

Answer 11

Loudness of input on channel. It controls tone but does not affect loudness.

Question 12

Tone

Answer 12

Characterized by duration, pitch, intensity (loudness) , and timbre (quality). A simple tone has only one frequency. A complex tone has two or more simple tones, called overtones.
