1. Name and describe five types of production tasks that Pro Tools can be used for.

Audio processing (editing and enhancing audio files), MIDI production (record and edit MIDI data), Notation and Scores, Mixing and Automation, Audio for Video and Post Production.

2. What’s the frequency range of human hearing? 

Roughly 20 Hz to 20 KHz.

3. What does the frequency of a sound wave affect in terms of how we perceive the sound? How is frequency measured? 

Frequency affects pitch. The higher the frequency the higher the pitch. Frequency is measured in Hz.

4. What does the amplitude of the sound wave affect? How is amplitude measured? 

Amplitude is intensity and we perceive that as volume. Amplitude is measured in dB.

5. 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? 

The sample rate and frequency is twice the audio it has captured.

6. How does the bit depth relate to the dynamic range of audio it can capture. How can you estimate the dynamic range of a system?

A higher bit depth means you can capture a higher dynamic range. You can estimate the dynamic range by multiplying the bit depth by 6.

7. What are some common digital connections available on Pro Tools audio interfaces? What type of connector jack does each use? 

S/PDIF, RCA coaxial jacks, XLR,

8. Name some audio interfaces that are compatible with standard Pro Tools software. 

Any audio interface for Mac and any audio interface with ASIO for Windows.

9. Name some Avid audio interfaces that are compatible with Pro Tools Ultimate software.
