✔Correct Answer-output of the module
Full-normal ✔Correct Answer-patch points are interrupted when a plug is inserted into either the
send or return of the patch.

A ______ aux send allows for the channel fader to be adjusted without disrupting the wet/dry
balance that has been established between the source channel fader and the external reverb device.
✔Correct Answer-post-fader
To route audio from a Plate Reverb back into the channel section you must patch from ✔Correct
Answer-the output of the Plate Reverb into either the channel line inputs, insert returns, or channel
auxiliary returns.
Which of the channel section outputs listed can be used to route an individual audio signal to an
external reverb or tape delay? ✔Correct Answer-track buss output
auxiliary send
direct output
(all of the above is correct)
A noise gate is a processor ✔Correct Answer-that allows the engineer to automatically mute and
unmute (or simply lower) a given signal based on a desired threshold level.
The control on a noise gate that sets the level at which the gate opens is ✔Correct Answer-
threshold
The control on a dynamic process that determines when the signal is affected by the ratio when it
crosses the threshold is the ✔Correct Answer-attack
The main variables of a dynamic processor are: ✔Correct Answer-threshold, ratio, attack, and
release
A compressor is a processor ✔Correct Answer-whose output level increases at a slower rate as its
input level increases.
The threshold control ✔Correct Answer-sets the point at which dynamic processing is activated
The attack and release controls are measured in ✔Correct Answer-milliseconds (time)
