22
Q

which path do I wanna take my split from, and why?

A

the path coming from the MTR ; the monitor path. because there is always signal in that path

23
Q

for headphones mixes… pre or post-fader split? why?

A

pre… to not affect the control room mix.

24
Q

for time-based processors, do I want a pre or post-fader split? why?

A

post… to preserve dry/wet ratio.

25
Q

what does the word auxiliary mean?

A

extra or additional

26

line-level

28
Q

basic description of an aux send

A

an additional line-level signal output of a console

29
Q

the technical definition of an aux send

Q

3 components of reverb

A

Q

5 sources of reverb

A

acoustic reverberation, echo chamber, plate reverb, spring reverb, digital reverb devices

45

46
Q

what is delay?

A

The generation of discrete repeats of the input signal at regularly spaced intervals.

47
Q

common parameters of delays

A

delay time, feedback, slapback delay, runaway delay

48
Q

natural chorus

A

recording the same thing more than once

49
Q

chorus effect

A

sound that results from a device that causes the source to be phase shifted in such a manner that “dips” frequencies away.

50
Q

common chorus parameters

A

rate, depth, vibrato, tremolo

51
Q

Flanger

A

like a chorus, with a feedback option. usually having low rate / high depth

52
Q

Phaser

A

like chorus, but with EQ notches as stages. usually having high rate / low depth

53
Q

Patchbays rows in order…

  1. mic > mic pre. 2. MTR > line level inputs. 3. MTB > MTR 4. digital multi-track > digital multitrack 5. sends > returns
54
Q

Console Method Questions

A
  1. What inputs does the console offer? 2. How do I get any input to any fader? 3. What input is the output of the MTR connected to? 4. How do I direct the output of the faders to the MTB or Stereo Bus?
