Study online at https://quizlet.com/_i205in
1. Name five types of production tasks that ProTools can be used for.: Audio, MIDI,
notation, mixing, and post-production
2. What is the AIR group?: Advanced Instrument Research
3. What types of products does the AIR Software Group specialize in?: Innovative
plug-ins for ProTools
4. Examples of AIR plug-ins:: Virtual instruments; Air Creative collection; Structure
5. What is the frequency range of human hearing?: 20 Hz to 20 kHz
6. What does the frequency of a sound wave affect in terms of how we perceive
the sound?: Frequency affects pitch
7. How is frequency measured?: Cycles per second (CPS) or Hertz (Hz)
8. What does the amplitude of the sound wave affect?: Amplitude affects loudness
9. How is amplitude measured?: Decibels (dB)
10. What is the threshold of pain?: 120 dB
11. What is sampling?: The process of taking discrete readings of a signal at various moments in time
12. What is the sample rate?: The frequency with which digital snapshots (samplings) are collected
13. What is the Nyquist Theorem?: In order to produce an accurate representation of a given frequency
of sound, each cycle of the sound's vibration must be sampled a min of two times
14. What is the standard sample rate of an audio CD?: 44.1 kHz
15. What is the useful dynamic range of speech and music?: 40 to 105 dB
16. What is A/D conversion?: Analog-to-digital conversion
17. What is quantization?: Capturing the relative amplitude of a sample by quantifying (assigning) to sample
to the closest available amplitude value
18. What is bit depth?: Binary word length
19. What is the greatest bit depth possible?: 32-bit floating point
20. What is the highest sample rate possible?: 196 kHz
21. How many simultaneous mono or stereo Audio tracks can PT support?: 96
22. How many simultaneous MIDI tracks can PT support?: 512
23. How many channels of I/O are available for PT 11 software?: 32
24. S/PDIF: Sony/Philips Digital Interface
25. What types of connectors does S/PDIF use?: Coaxial/RCA jacks
26. AES/EBU: Audio Engineering Society/European Broadcast Union
27. What types of connectors does AES/EBU use?: XLR-type connectors
