Advanced Audio/Music Mastering: Theory and Practice Self-Assessment

Question Title

* 1. Quantization distortion is:

A byproduct of bit depth reduction

A symptom of jitter

Produced by dither

A change in groove adapted to the grid

Sigma Delta encoding

Question Title

* 2. Loudness is measured in:

dBu

dBSPL

Peak metering

Dynamic range

Bits

Question Title

* 3. RMS meters:

Are only analog

Are k-weighted

Use c-weighted scales

Are loudness-normalized

Use a 300 ms window

Question Title

* 4. Redbook audio:

Is 16-bit PCM

Is iTunes-compliant

Is lossy

Has a 60-minute limit

Is the DVD audio spec

Question Title

* 5. A reasonable spec for mix levels is:
