I got an 86, there were only two choices per question :) but i read some of these posts first, what's an exciting compressor? is that sarcasm? And the other one i got wrong was about enhancing attack, which, as was said before, doesnt really make sense, because a faster attack would tame the peak of an instruments attack while a slower attack wouldnt. I guess, im a sore loser :)
 
oo, i see an article about the exciting compressor, its what hard2hear suggested for vocals with excellent results :)

Thats basicly correct. The attack time has to be set so that the instrument attack (the peak of it) is allowed to pass with out compression and from after the attack, will be compressed.
A faster attack (pressing down on the peak) will dull the "instrument attack".

Better than I thought. I would have scored way lower than that if I would have taken the test before I started reading the HomeRecording BBS.

stupid quiz. i agree that most of it was bogus. But then again i just got back from japan, and im still jet lagged, and i haven't touched anything to do with recording in 6 weeks... yea.. thats the reason why...
 
57%

Which is twice what I thought I would get..........

As an ignoramus, I almost consider this score "Genius"

So who needs their tracks spruced up by me???????



:D
 
Wow, I only missed three questions.

I don't have a compressor, never used a compressor, or... hell, haven't ever recorded a single track in my life (just about to get started though).

Most of the questions could be answered by understanding some basics about what a compressor is doing, and what the definitions of threshold, attack time, etc. are. I just guessed at the others. :D
