playback cursor
insertion point
edit cursor
playback point - ANS-edit cursor
In Pro Tools, the moving line in the edit window is the:
playback cursor
insertion point
edit cursor
playback point - ANS-Playback Cursor
The "page" window scrolling option in Pro Tools will:
flip to the playback point after playback has stopped
scroll continuously
not scroll
flip to the playback point after the playback cursor reaches the end of the window - ANS-flip to
the playback point after the playback cursor reaches the end of the window
When pocketing, moving one drum track as opposed to all drum tracks will cause:
phase coherence
latency
phase incoherence
buffering - ANS-phase incoherence
What is the shortcut for consolidate? - ANS-command + shift + 3
• Q) At 44.1 kHz, how many samples are taken per second? - ANS-• A) 44,100
• Q) Approximately how much hard drive space is taken up by 2.5 minutes of stereo, 24-bit, 44.1
kHz audio? - ANS-• A) 37.5MB
, Approximately how much hard drive space is taken up by 6 minutes of stereo, 24-bit, 44.1 kHz
audio? - ANS-90 MB (15 MB per minute)
• Q) Which parameter in the mix window is directly tied to decibels? - ANS-A) The fader
• Q) What is the shortcut for tabbing through the edit tools? - ANS-• A) esc
• Q) Which parameter in the mix window is directly tied to decibels? - ANS-• A) The fader
• Q) How does using SHUFFLE mode assist in multi-track editing? - ANS-• A) shuffles
everything over to the left after you've cut a section
• Q) What is the shortcut for paste? - ANS-• A) command + V
• Q) What does a meter in Pro Tools show us? - ANS-• A) the digital dynamic range, measured
in dBFS.
• Q) What are the max and min levels on a meter in Pro Tools? dBs, or dBFS?
• A) 0 dBFS down to -60dBFS - ANS-• A) 0 dBFS down to -60dBFS
• Q) Explain the basic difference between analog and digital clipping. - ANS-A) Clipping with
analog gear can be forgiving, providing some warm distortions.
• Clipping in digital is not so forgiving, similar to smacking your head on concrete.

• Q) the "RMS" in RMS metering stands for: - ANS-• A) root mean square
• Q) When you are recording, should you use pre-fader or post-fader metering? Why? - ANS-•
A) Pre-fader, so you can make sure your input levels are not clipping.
• Q) What button on the audio track has to be engaged before we can hit record in the transport
bar? - ANS-A) the record enable button
• Q) What is the shortcut for cut? - ANS-• A) command+X
• Q) What is the shortcut for recalling a memory location marker? - ANS-• A) [.] + [MemLoc
number] + [.] on num pad
• Q) True or false: In Post-fader metering, the position of the fader does not affect the meter. -
