Pro Tools 201 Exam Questions And Answers
100% Pass
What are some of the differences between standard ProTools software and ProTools | HD
software? - ANS Pro Tools |HD hardware systems are far more powerful than typical host-
based systems: however, the system. Another marked difference is the Total I/O capacity
(32)doubles when running Pro Tools|HD Native up to (64) and doubles again to (192) channels
(256 per card).
What are the five main required components of any ProTools|HD series hardware system?
What are some of the optional components? - ANS • Computer
• Pro Tools Software
• Hard Drives
• PCIe Cards/Thunderbolt (HD native card, HD Native Thunderbolt, or HDX Card
• Audio Interface- HD OMNI,HD I/O, and HD MADI
Optional components, - ANS • HDX Card(Pro Tools|HDX hardware only)
• Additional Audio Interfaces
• PRE
• SYNC HD
What are some of the differences between the HD Omni the HD I/O and HD MADI interface? -
ANS First of all the HD OMNI 4x8 only has 4 channels of analog input, 8 channels of analog
output, pre-amp where the HD I/O is 8x8x8or 16x16 analog in and out. HD MADI provides

simplified connectivity between a Pro Tools HD system and MADI -compatible audio
equipment, such as routers, digital mixing consules, VENUE systems and converters.
What are some of the advantages of using ProTools|HD native hardware over system without
HD series hardware? - ANS It's real-time routing and low latency monitoring, and buffering
capabilities.
What are some of the benefits of floating point. Processing? - ANS Each channels 32 bit input
is multiplied by gain+pan coefficients to create a 64bit floating point result.
What pages are available in the Hardware Setup dialog box for the HD OMNI audio interface, in
addition to the Main page? What are some options available in these pages? - ANS Main,
Analog IN, analog out, Monitor, Mixer
Setting the Default Sample Rate,
Configuring Digital Input and Output Formats, Using the Analog Pages of Hardware setup,
Configuring Analog Input Options, Limiter, clock source
What does the Current Engine setting in the Playback Engine dialog box determine? -
ANS Used to select the audio engine or audio interface to use for the session.
What impact does the H/W Buffer Size setting have on performance? - ANS This affects
native Plug-ins only. 1) It has no effect on DSP plug-in performance, However with Pro
Tools|HD native hardware Buffer size effects both plug-in performance and thru-monitor
latency.
What does the Disk Playback Cache Size determine? - ANS The amount of memory used by
avid audio engine
When is it useful to increase the Cache Size setting? When ever your running a large session.
What window allows you to monitor the allocation of processing power and system resources
in your session? - ANS System Usage Window
