Which of the following is not a common type of distortion effect?

  1. Overdrive

  2. Fuzz

  3. Chorus

  4. Bitcrushing


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Chorus is a modulation effect, not a distortion effect.

What is the purpose of a compressor?

  1. To increase the volume of a signal

  2. To decrease the volume of a signal

  3. To make a signal sound louder

  4. To make a signal sound quieter


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A compressor is used to increase the volume of a signal by reducing the dynamic range.

Which of the following is not a common type of modulation effect?

  1. Chorus

  2. Flanger

  3. Phaser

  4. Reverb


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Reverb is a time-based effect, not a modulation effect.

What is the purpose of an equalizer?

  1. To adjust the frequency response of a signal

  2. To adjust the amplitude of a signal

  3. To adjust the phase of a signal

  4. To adjust the delay of a signal


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

An equalizer is used to adjust the frequency response of a signal by boosting or cutting certain frequencies.

Which of the following is not a common type of time-based effect?

  1. Delay

  2. Reverb

  3. Chorus

  4. Flanger


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Chorus is a modulation effect, not a time-based effect.

What is the purpose of a limiter?

  1. To prevent a signal from clipping

  2. To increase the volume of a signal

  3. To decrease the volume of a signal

  4. To make a signal sound louder


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A limiter is used to prevent a signal from clipping by limiting the maximum amplitude of the signal.

Which of the following is not a common type of dynamic effect?

  1. Compression

  2. Expansion

  3. Gating

  4. Ducking


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ducking is a mixing technique, not a dynamic effect.

What is the purpose of a gate?

  1. To remove unwanted noise from a signal

  2. To increase the volume of a signal

  3. To decrease the volume of a signal

  4. To make a signal sound louder


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A gate is used to remove unwanted noise from a signal by closing the gate when the signal level falls below a certain threshold.

Which of the following is not a common type of spatial effect?

  1. Reverb

  2. Delay

  3. Chorus

  4. Panning


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Chorus is a modulation effect, not a spatial effect.

What is the purpose of panning?

  1. To adjust the frequency response of a signal

  2. To adjust the amplitude of a signal

  3. To adjust the phase of a signal

  4. To adjust the position of a signal in the stereo field


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Panning is used to adjust the position of a signal in the stereo field by moving it from left to right.

Which of the following is not a common type of pitch-shifting effect?

  1. Pitch shifting

  2. Harmonizing

  3. Vocoding

  4. Ring modulation


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Ring modulation is a modulation effect, not a pitch-shifting effect.

What is the purpose of a vocoder?

  1. To create a robotic sound

  2. To create a harmonized sound

  3. To create a distorted sound

  4. To create a reverberant sound


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A vocoder is used to create a robotic sound by analyzing the formants of a signal and then synthesizing them.

Which of the following is not a common type of sampling effect?

  1. Looping

  2. Reverse

  3. Stutter

  4. Granular synthesis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Granular synthesis is a synthesis technique, not a sampling effect.

What is the purpose of a sampler?

  1. To record and playback audio

  2. To create a new sound

  3. To modify an existing sound

  4. To mix multiple sounds together


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A sampler is used to record and playback audio.

Which of the following is not a common type of synthesis technique?

  1. Additive synthesis

  2. Subtractive synthesis

  3. Frequency modulation synthesis

  4. Phase modulation synthesis


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Phase modulation synthesis is a modulation technique, not a synthesis technique.
