Pro Tools 101 Review Questions with Complete Solutions 2024/2025

Pro Tools 101 Review Questions with Complete Solutions 2024/2025 Name and describe five types of production tasks that Pro Tools can be used for - Correct Answer Audio Processing: recording of audio performances and stores them as files. Works with audio that is stored electronically in digital format MIDI Production: record and edit MIDI data. Captures performance event data. Devices are involved. Notation and Scores: ways to display and work with MIDI compositions in music notation and printing capabilities. Mixing and Automation: Controls signal routing, effects processing, signal levels, panning, etc... Audio for Video Post-Production: Import QuickTime movies or Avid video files and add audio sound effects, music, Foley, and dialog. What is the frequency range of human hearing? - Correct Answer 20Hz to 20kHz - 1kHz = 1000Hz What does the frequency of a sound wave affect in terms of how we perceive the sound? How is frequency measured? - Correct Answer Frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch that we hear. The higher the Frequency number, the higher the pitch. Frequency is measured in either cycles per second (CPS), or Hertz (Hz). - 15000CPS = 15000Hz = 15kHz What does the amplitude of the sound wave affect? How is amplitude measured? - Correct Answer Amplitude of the sound wave affects how loud it is. The higher the Amplitude, the louder the sound. 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? - Correct Answer The higher the sample rate the more accurate representation to the frequency of audio(sound). More sample rates = less chance for misrepresentation of audio clips/wrong tones. The law that specifies the relationship between sample rate and audio frequency is 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? - Correct Answer The bit depth is the binary word length of a "sample". In order to know the dynamic range of a "system", you would need to know the bit depth. You can estimate the dynamic range of a system by multiplying the bit
