(See "What Is Pro Tools?" beginning on page 4.) - correct answer Audio (record and edit - cut, copy, move, delete, paste - audio in many ways), MIDI (record & edit MIDI data), Notation (view, edit, arrange and print midi score) Mixing (signal routing, leveling, effects processing, panning etc.) & Post-Production (video capabilities and display for creating sound effects, music, foley and dialog etc.) What types of products does the AIR Software Group specialize in? What contribution from the AIR group is included with Pro Tools? (See "Expansion of Avid Audio" beginning on page 9.) - correct answer The AIR Software Group specialise in developing virtual instruments and effects plug-ins. The AIR Software group provided the AIR Creative Collection, which is included in Pro Tools. What is the frequency range of human hearing? (See "Basic Parameters of Sound: Waveform, Frequency, and Amplitude" beginning on page 13.) - correct answer The frequency range of human hearing is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. What does the frequency of a sound wave affect in terms of how we perceive the sound? How is frequency measured? (See "Basic Parameters of Sound: Waveform, Frequency, and Amplitude" beginning on page 13.) - correct answer The frequency of the sound pressure variations that reaches our ears creates our perception of the pitch of the sound. What does the amplitude of the sound wave affect? How is amplitude measured? (See "Basic Parameters of Sound: Waveform, Frequency, and Amplitude" beginning on page 13.) - correct answer As the amplitude of pressure variations increases, the sound becomes louder. Amplitude is measured in decibels (dB). How does the sample rate of a system relate to the frequency of audio it can capture? What is the name of the law that specifies the relationship between sample rate and audio frequency? (See "How Sample Rate Affects Frequency Resolution" beginning on page 14.) - correct answer A systems sampling rate must be twice the highest frequency it needs to capture. The theory is often referred to as Nyquist Theorem or Sampling Theorem. How does the bit depth of a system relate to the dynamic range of audio it can capture? How can you estimate the dynamic range of a system? (See "How Bit Depth Affects Amplitude Resolution" beginning on page 14.) - correct answer The more bit depth the more dynamic range the system can capture. Multiplying bit depth by 6 can estimate the dynamic range available in dB. (6x16 bit = 96dB dynamic range) What are some common digital connections available on Pro Tools audio interfaces? What type of connector jack does each use? (See "Recording in Digital Format" on page 15.) - correct answer Common digital connections include S/PDIF - Sony/Philips Digital Interface - (Using RCA Jacks aka coaxial Jacks) and AES/EBU (Using XLR-type connectors).

Where is the session file (.ptx) stored? (See "Session Components" beginning on page 29.) - correct answer Pro Tools generates a session file inside a session folder of the same name (.ptx extension). Further Pro Tools generates a wavecache file (.wfm extension) saved in the session folder. Audio files are stored in the corresponding sessions' audio files folder. MIDI data is stored within the session file (unless exported, subsequently .mid extension). Sibelius files can be exported an recognized by their .sib extension. Bounced files are saved in the bounced files folder (Folder remains empty and will be removed if no audio was bounced). Clip groups folder will remain only when clip groups are exported from the session. Rendered files: when users render elastic audio processing Pro Tools creates temporary files for the audio on the affected tracks. When commited the temporary files are written in the audio files folder. What is the WaveC file used for? What happens if the WaveCache file gets deleted or goes missing? (See "WaveCache File" beginning on page 29.) - correct answer Pro Tools generates the wavecache (.wfm extension) to generate a representation of the sessions audio waveforms in order to save time when opening a session. Deleting the file does not corrupt the session, however Pro Tools will need longer time recalculating the waveform graphics. Where are audio files stored in the session hierarchy? (See "Audio Files" beginning on page 29.) - correct answer Audio files are stored in the session folders audio files folder. Where are Pro Tools' MIDI files normally stored? (See "MIDI Files" beginning on page 29.) - correct answer MIDI files are stored within the session file in the session folder. However users can export the MIDI files, which will then become available as .mid files. Which component should you turn on first when powering up a Pro Tools system?

(See "Organize Audio Files and Clips" beginning on page 89.) - correct answer Each time you record audio you create a single audio file that appears in both the clip list and in the track playlist. Audio files (whole file clips) as they are known in Pro Tools, are written and stored externally from the session file. What term is used to describe an unedited audio file in Pro Tools? What term is used to describe the smaller, edited pieces of the original sound file? (See "Recognizing Audio Files and Clips" beginning on page 89.) - correct answer Unedited audio files are also described as whole file clips. Smaller edits are referred to as subset clips or simply clips (Subset clips do not store audio information directly, but instead are used to display, edit and playback audio information contained in the whole file clips). What types of clips are represented by boldface text in the Clip List? What type is represented by normal (plain) text? (See "Recognizing Audio Files and Clips" beginning on page 89.) - correct answer Wholefile clips are represented in boldface type, while subset clips or clips are represented in normal typeface. How do track names affect the default names of the audio files you record in Pro Tools? (See "Default Naming Conventions" beginning on page 90.) - correct answer When you record a track, Pro Tools names the resulting (whole-file clip) using your designated track name + an underscore and take number. (E.g. track name: "Guitar" = recorded clip name = "Guitar_01") Any subsequent recordings on the same track will be named _02,_03,_04 and so on. Describe two ways to rename an audio file after recording into Pro Tools. (See "Changing File and Clip Names" beginning on page 91.) - correct answer Pro Tools enables several ways to change the name of audio files and clips. You can double-click the file or clip in the edit window (with the grabber tool) or in the clip list. Right-click on the file or clip in the edit window or clip list and select rename from the pop-up menu. Furthermore when renaming a whole-file clip, you can specify whether you name the clip in the session only or the disk file as well. How would you go about removing unwanted audio from the Clip List Without deleting the files from disk? (See "Removing Audio Clips" beginning on page 92.) - correct answer Select the clips to be removed in the clips list and choose clear from the clip list pop-up menu.
