DAT exam 2 questions and answers7
Convolution - ANSWERS-mathematical operation where two functions generates a third one;
one function fixed and called the response
What is convolution used for? - ANSWERS-used to artificially recreate the reverberation of a
room through the convolution between an impulse and response of the room generated by it
(e.g. concert hall, bathroom, kitchen etc.)
Convolution reverbs - ANSWERS-Altiverb, TLSpace, IR1 - IRL, Quantum Leap Spaces
Plugins for DSP systems? - ANSWERS-TDM, DSP
Parallel Processing - ANSWERS-time based effects/parallel compression
Dynamic Processors - ANSWERS-Expander, Compresser, Limiter, Gate
Range on expanders & gates? - ANSWERS-how far the gate is closing when audio passes below
the threshold
Chorus effect with Delay? - ANSWERS-rate & depth
How is Q & Bandwidth related? - ANSWERS-center frequency divided by the bandwidth.
inversely related
Shortcut: keyboard focus fade in from left? - ANSWERS-D
, Shortcut: keyboard focus fade out? - ANSWERS-G
how many components in a DAW - ANSWERS-3
what are the three components - ANSWERS-Audio Sources, signal flow/bussing/processing
topology, hardware
Audio system - ANSWERS-governs the way the computer records and processes the audio
signals
Native system - ANSWERS-uses computers CPU to process audio
Native system pros - ANSWERS-cost efficient, more portable
Native system cons - ANSWERS-relies on cpu for processing, latency, greater potential for
inconsistent performance
DSP system - ANSWERS-Digital Signal Processing, uses dedicated hardware to process audio
signals. connected via PCI slot
DSP pros - ANSWERS-lower latency, CPU isn't doing the processing, greater consistency
DSP cons - ANSWERS-cost, usually not as flexible as native systems
Audio interfaces - ANSWERS-purpose is to get audio in and out of computer
Firewire - ANSWERS-faster, better choice for larger I/O options
