What is the one difference between a Pro Tools system with a USB audio
interface and a Pro Tools | HDX system? - Correct Answer-- The difference
is that systems with USB audio interfaces are host-based, while HDX
systems are not
What happens when you create a Pro Tools session? - Correct Answer--
The system creates a top-level session folder, various subfolders, and a
session file with a .ptx extension
What is a WaveCache file? - Correct Answer-- It stores waveform display
data for the audio clips in a Pro Tools session, enabling the session to
open more quickly
Where are Audio files stored in by default? - Correct Answer-- The Audio
Files Folder, not the session file
Where are MIDI files normally stored in? - Correct Answer-- The session
file

When turning on the devices in your system, what should be turned on first
and last? - Correct Answer-- External Hard Drives should be turned on first
- Your Audio Monitoring System (Speakers) should be turned on last
What is a Waveform? - Correct Answer-- A visual representation of the
"shape" of the sound
What is Frequency? - Correct Answer-- Perceived as the pitch of sound
What is the frequency range of human hearing? - Correct Answer-- 20 Hz
to 20,000 Hz (20 kHz)
What are the five types of production that Pro Tools can be used for? -
Correct Answer-1. Audio processing
2. MIDI production
3. Creating notation and scores
4. Mixing and automation

, Page | 4
What does Sample Rate affect? - Correct Answer-- Affects the range of
frequencies that can be captured in a recording and the size of the resulting
audio file
The dynamic range increases by for bit added to the bit depth? -
Correct Answer-- 6 dB
- You can estimate the dynamic range capability of a system by multiplying
its bit depth by 6. For example, 16-bit x 6 = 96 dB.
How can you estimate the dynamic range capability of a system? - Correct
Answer-- By multiplying its bit depth by 6
What are the two types of digital connections used for digital transfer? -
Correct Answer-- S/PDIF (which uses RCA connectors)
- AES/EBU (which uses XLR Connectors)
Digital Signal Processing is often abbreviated as? - Correct Answer-- DSP
