|
Mix Path; mix B
|
|
|
What is the main signal path on the module?
|
The Channel Path
|
|
|
What does the Channel Path do?
|
It is used to bring signals into the console, adjusts levels and tone quality, and then assign them to a destination.

What does the Channel Path do?
|
It is used to bring signals into the console, adjusts levels and tone quality, and then assign them to a destination.
|
|
|
What is an example of destination?
|
Multitrack Recorders/ main stereo output
|
|
|
What is a I/O module's secondary path?
|
The Monitor Path
|
|
|
What is the monitor path commonly used in?
|
Most commonly used in recording situations, where it's used to listen to, or "monitor" the signals on the multitrack recorder.
|
|
|
What do professional analog recorders store their information on?
|
On magnetic tape that is 2'' inches in width.
|
|
|
How many tracks can a 2'' magnetic tape store?
|
16, 24, or 32 tracks of information.
|
|
|
What is the standard number of track location a 2'' magnetic tape utlizes?
|
24 tracks
|
|
|
What track offer the highest sound quality and the lowest noise?
|
16- track
|
|
|
What track offers more sounds to be stored on a piece of tape?
|
32-tracks
|
|
|
What is a tape head used for?
|
To transfer information to and from the magnetic tape.
|
|
|
What is a head gap?
|
It's an open portion of the electromagnetic structure found at the end of the horseshoe shped band of metal.
|
|
|
What does the the head gap corresponds to?
|
Our audio signal.
|
|
|
What has an effect on sound quality?
|
The speed in which the tape passes across the head.
|
|
|
What are the standard tape speeds?
|
30 IPS (inches per second) and 15 IPS.
|
|
|
Which tape speed offers the better sound quality with less noise?
|
30 IPS
|
|
|
What is the con of 30 IPS tape?
|
It requires more tape than the 15, which is more costly.
|
|
|
True or False: The electromagnetic assembly in the tape head can perform more than one task at a time.
|
False.
|
|
|
Where does each head gap on the tape head store its information?
|
In a linear stripe down the length of tape.
|
|
|
What is the linear stripe of information stored in the tape referred to as?
|
A track.
|
|
|
How many heads does a professional tape head have? Name them.
|
Three: erase head, sync head, repro head.
|
|
|
What is the erase head used for?
|
It is used to erase prviously recorded material from the tape. It is always first in the tape path; it is not active when the tracks are playing back.
|
|
|
How does the erase head do its job?
|
By recording the high frequency tone on the tape (typically 150 KHz or high- at a very high amplitude).
|
|
|
What is the sync head used for?
|
It is second on the tape path. It is capable of both recording and playing back.
|
|
|
What is the syc head primarily used for?
|
Our recording head,
|
|
|
Which tape speed offers the better sound quality with less noise?
|
30 IPS
|
|
|
What is the con of 30 IPS tape?
|
It requires more tape than the 15, which is more costly.
|
|
|

|
|
|
What is the syc head primarily used for?
|
Our recording head,
|
|
|
What is the repro had designed for?
|
It is designed for playback (and is not capable of recording). The repro head is configured for the highest quality playback.
|
|
|
What is DASH?
|
Digital Audio Stationary Head is a multitack machine. It is similar to the analog recorder, except they store digital audio on the tape rather than analog.
|
|
|
Name two common DASH machines?
|
Sony PCM series and the Studer D-827series, both built on 24 track and 48 track versions.
|
|
|
What type of tape do the Sony PCM and the Studer D-827?
|
They both use a 1/2 inch of high-density magnetic tape.
|
|
|
What features do DASH machines provide?
|
Extensive memory, sampling, looping, and editing fuctions within the recorder itself, features not commonly found on any other type of tape-based multitrack recorder.
