Question 1

What is the purpose of the workflow concept called bounce out your sounds from a DAW?&#10;A) To normalize elements as individual groups to 90 percent to prevent clipping&#10;B) To trigger right away when called by the game engine without skips or delay&#10;C) To meticulously organize individual files that contain all the music, sound effects and voice-over in the game&#10;D) To properly identify your files so a programmer can help to implement them

Accepted Answer

C

Question 2

What is the purpose of the workflow concept called tightly trim and edit your files?&#10;A) To normalize elements as individual groups to 90 percent to prevent clipping&#10;B) To trigger right away when called by the game engine without skips or delay&#10;C) To meticulously organize individual files that contain all the music, sound effects and voice-over in the game&#10;D) To properly identify your files so a programmer can help to implement them

Accepted Answer

The purpose of tightly trimming and editing files in a workflow is to ensure that they trigger immediately when called by the game engine, without any skips or delay. This is crucial for maintaining seamless audio playback in games.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the workflow concept called volume balance all your audio?&#10;A) To normalize elements as individual groups to 90 percent to prevent clipping&#10;B) To trigger right away when called by the game engine without skips or delay&#10;C) To meticulously organize individual files that contain all the music, sound effects and voice-over in the game&#10;D) To properly identify your files so a programmer can help to implement them

Accepted Answer

The purpose of the workflow concept called volume balance all your audio is to normalize elements as individual groups to 90 percent to prevent clipping.

Question 4

What is the purpose of the workflow concept called creating perfect seamless loops that do not skip?&#10;A) To normalize elements as individual groups to 90 percent to prevent clipping&#10;B) To trigger right away when called by the game engine without skips or delay&#10;C) To meticulously organize individual files that contain all the music, sound effects and voice-over in the game&#10;D) To save space in the game and pertains to sound effects, music, and ambient backgrounds

Question 5

What is the purpose of the workflow concept called provide an asset list or asset database management system?&#10;A) To normalize elements as individual groups to 90 percent to prevent clipping&#10;B) To trigger right away when called by the game engine without skips or delay&#10;C) To meticulously organize individual files that contain all the music, sound effects and voice-over in the game&#10;D) To properly identify your files so a programmer can help to implement them

Question 6

What is true about sound effects as one use for looping techniques?&#10;A) Triggers the loop to play indefinitely, such as for bullets rapidly firing&#10;B) The use of outdoor locations or tailored indoor acoustic environments to avoid a sense of repetition&#10;C) Necessary because in many games, producers want a lot of music, but just don't have the audio budget available&#10;D) The use of quick stinger effects to cover up transitions between gameplay

Accepted Answer

Looping techniques for sound effects, such as the sound of bullets rapidly firing, can trigger the loop to play indefinitely, creating a continuous sound without the need for multiple, individual sound files. This is particularly useful in video games or any media requiring repetitive sound effects without a noticeable beginning or end.

Question 7

What is true about music soundtracks as one use for looping techniques?&#10;A) Triggers the loop to play indefinitely, such as for bullets rapidly firing&#10;B) The use of outdoor locations or tailored indoor acoustic environments to avoid a sense of repetition&#10;C) Necessary because in many games, producers want a lot of music, but just don't have the audio budget available&#10;D) The use of quick stinger effects to cover up transitions between gameplay

Accepted Answer

Looping techniques in music soundtracks are often used in game development because producers require a substantial amount of music to enhance the gaming experience but may be limited by the audio budget. Looping allows for the extension of musical pieces without the need for composing entirely new segments, thus saving on costs.

Question 8

What is true about ambient backgrounds as one use for looping techniques?&#10;A) Triggers the loop to play indefinitely, such as for bullets rapidly firing&#10;B) The use of outdoor locations or tailored indoor acoustic environments to avoid a sense of repetition&#10;C) Necessary because in many games, producers want a lot of music, but just don't have the audio budget available&#10;D) The use of quick stinger effects to cover up transitions between gameplay

Accepted Answer

Ambient backgrounds can be used as a looping technique to create a continuous sound that fits the environment, without becoming too repetitive or noticeable. This is often achieved by using outdoor locations or creating tailored indoor acoustic environments.

Question 9

To what does zero crossing refer?&#10;A) Self-contained audio regions that are recorded and then cut, trimmed and tested to make sure they do not skip&#10;B) When the end of the loop and the beginning of the loop cross the exact center of the waveform where the volume of the wave is essentially zero&#10;C) Prevents loops that skip&#10;D) Forces a switch to Ogg

Accepted Answer

Zero crossing refers to the point in a waveform where the amplitude of the signal is zero or crosses the x-axis. In the context of looping audio, zero crossing is used to ensure that there are no pops, clicks or other disruptions in the loop when it is played back. The most seamless point to loop a waveform is at the exact center where the volume is essentially zero, which is why zero crossing is important.

Question 10

What are loops?&#10;A) Self-contained audio regions that are recorded and then cut, trimmed and tested to make sure they do not skip&#10;B) Tends to ruin carefully tailored seamless looping&#10;C) Prevents loops that skip&#10;D) Forces a switch to Ogg

Accepted Answer

Loops refer to self-contained audio regions that are recorded and then cut, trimmed and tested to ensure they do not skip.

Question 11

What is a possible disadvantage of MP3 encoding?&#10;A) There isn't any disadvantage&#10;B) Tends to ruin carefully tailored seamless looping&#10;C) Prevents loops that skip&#10;D) Forces a switch to Ogg

Accepted Answer

The answer of What is a possible disadvantage of MP3...
