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:

-16 dBFS RMS, -2 True Peak

-16 VU, -2 True Peak

-16 True Peak, 0 dBFS

-16 dBFS, 0 VU Peak

44.1 kHz, 16 bit

9. E0 has a fundamental frequency of:

41 Hz

130 Hz

20 Hz

82 Hz

10 Hz

Question Title

10. Parametric EQ:

Allows fixed frequencies to be boosted

Only exists in digital

Allows independent control of parameters

Employs latency

Is threshold-dependent

Question Title

11. Absolute polarity means:

Consistent polarity throughout a recording and monitoring chain

Symmetry of an audio signal with respect to 0 VDC

Time aligning speakers

Eliminating early reflections

Separate cables for HF and LF amps
