Equalization (EQ)

  Equalization (EQ)



1. What is EQ?
EQ (or equalization) in music is the process of changing the balance of different frequency components in an audio signal.

2. How does an instrument or voice’s timbre affect how we EQ
A sound’s timbre gives our brains a lot of information about what it represents in the real world.

3. How does masking effect recordings with multiple sounds?
EQ is used in mixing to help reduce the effect of masking so that each instrument can be heard clearly.

4. How can you use filters to improve audio quality?
EQ is essentially a special application of a filter. The qualities of the filter that your EQ uses for its cuts or boost determines a lot about its sound—and the best way to use it.

5. Explain Additive and Subtractive EQ.
  • Additive EQ: boosting frequencies to achieve the results you want.
  • Subtractive EQ: cutting offending frequencies out.

  THE CAMERA-  APERTURE AND IRIS 1. What is aperture? Aperture is the opening of the camera lens through which light passes to enter the camera.  2.  How does it affect exposure? In large aperture, a lot of light passes through the camera lens, resulting in a brighter photograph. In small aperture, very little light enters the camera lens, resulting in a darker photograph. 3. How does it affect depth of field? A large aperture results in large amount of foreground and background blur, creating low depth of field. A small aperture results in small amount of background blur, creating greater depth of field. 4. How do you pick the right aperture for your scene?  The right aperture depends upon how much depth of field and exposure you desire in the picture. 5.
