25 Questions

1. Filter A. electronic circuit designed to emphasize or attenuate a specific range of frequencies.

2. Sine Wave

3. Used in the context of MIDI Clock derived sync signals.

4. System for feeding one or more separate mixes to the performers for use while recording and overdubbing; Also known as a Cue Mix.

5. Type of connector commonly used to carry balanced audio signals including the feeds from microphones.

6. A 2-wire electrical signal connection where the inner or hot or +ve (positive) conductor is usually surrounded by the cold or -ve (negative) conductor, which forms a screen against electrical interference.

7. Resonant echo that occurs when sound reflects back and forth between two parallel, reflective surfaces.

8. A system that requires a signal to be processed prior to recording, then that process reversed during playback.

9. Attack

10. Hi-Fi connector developed by RCA and used extensively on semi-pro, unbalanced recording equipment.

11. Chase

12. Read-Only Memory (ROM)

13. Measure of the resonant properties of a filter; The higher this is the more resonant the filter and the narrower the range of frequencies that are allowed to pass.

14. Resistance

15. The MIDI connections of a MIDI compatible device.

16. Sticky Shed Syndrome

17. The amount by which a circuit amplifies a signal.

18. Type of memory used by computers for the temporary storage of programs and data; All data is lost when the power is turned off; Work needs to be saved to disk if it is not to be lost.

19. Side-Chain

20. ASCII

21. A function to allow the keyboard and sound generating section of a keyboard synthesizer to be used independently of each other.

22. The socket on a slave unit used to feed the MIDI In socket of the next unit in line.

23. Parametric EQ A. equalizer with separate controls for frequency, bandwidth and cut/boost.

24. Attenuate

25. Way of describing the relative levels within a piece of music.
