Digital Signal Processing (Test 2) Questions & Answers

Digital Signal Processing (Test 2) Questions & Answers 5 Types of metering - CORRECT ANSWER - - Input Metering - Output Metering - Gain Reduction - PPM - VU Compression and limiting are identical in process but different in degree and perceived effect. True/False? - CORRECT ANSWER - True Compression Parameters- list them off. - CORRECT ANSWER - - Threshold determines the level at which the compressor will begin to reduce the input signal level - Output Gain is used to determine how much signal to its original dynamic level once it has fallen below the threshold - The attack setting determines how fast or how slowly a compressor will turn down the signals that exceed the threshold - The release setting determines how quickly a compressor restores a signal to its original dynamic level once it has fallen below the threshold Explain Hard Knee - CORRECT ANSWER - Hard Knee compression applies the full amount of compression (as set by the Ratio) as soon as the input level rises above the threshold Explain Soft Knee - CORRECT ANSWER - They apply compression gradually as the signal approaches the threshold level Name 4 Dynamic range processors - CORRECT ANSWER - Limiter, Gate, Expander, Compressor What are Tube Compressors? - CORRECT ANSWER - - Tube compressor are almost all onto design compressors - The main difference between an opt and a tube compressor is the addition of the tube on the output stage which adds more coloration to the sound
