Q

An auxiliary should be used to patch in a piece of outboard gear when

A

A and C
When you want both the original and the effected signal in your final mix, and you want the capability to have the original signal on one fader and the altered signal on another fader

Q

Diagram with omni mic attenuating how much

A

has no attenuation; 0dB

17
Q

Phase cancelation is most likely to occur when

A

two spaced mics are hearing a single source

18
Q

What is signal to noise ration

A

noise floor to nominal

19
Q

What is unity

A

where inputs and outputs are the same

20
Q

What is AESEBU

A

XLR connection that can transfer a stereo pair balanced signal

21
Q

What is proximity effect

A

extreme close mic’ing; it will boost the bass

22
Q

What mic has slots or ports on the side

A

cardioid mic

23
Q

Arrange signal in increasing voltage

A

Mic, Line, Speaker

24
Q

A large diaphragm condenser mic would be best suited for picking up sound from all directions in an ambient space

True or False

A

True

25
Q

How many channels in a MIDI port

A

16

26
Q

How many data bytes are in MIDI

A

128

27
Q

Dynamic range deals with

A

the range between the softest and loudest passages of an instrument on a recording

28
Q

What should we do to ensure the best possible experience as relates to accurate monitoring

A

A and B

place monitors in triangle and use pink noise generator to determine the frequencies

29
Q

When using a full back (Aux) to drive an effect, if you want the effect send to be controlled by the fader

A 
use post fader 
#2 diagram
30
Q

When you notice the peak light illuminating on an input channel, how would you fix that

A

adjust the trim control for the input

31
Q

What is the order of tape heads on a tape machine

A

Erase, Record, Play

32
Q

An erase head does what

A

(written)

it randomizes the magnetic domains on the tape making it silent

33
Q

For what purpose would diagram 4 be used

A

the answer is Nothing

34
Q

When you increase the sample rate of a digital recording, what happens

A

it will increase the range of frequencies

35
Q

Choose the closest description of a direct box

A

takes mic or line level from an electronic instrument, balances it, and sends it directly to the board, eliminating the use of a mic

36
Q

Given a high pass filter, with a slop of 12dB per octave, if you engage that filter at 200 Hz at what frequency would the signal be 12dB less

A

100Hz

37
Q

The millions of magnetic oxide particles on tape that arrange themselves are called what

A

Domains
