100

Attack and release parameters are measured using this unit of time.

What are milliseconds (ms)?

100

Humans can open gates, dogs cannot. Setting the amplitude at which the gate will open and allow signal to pass through is the job of this parameter. 

What is the threshold?

100

The Real-Time Properties window only allows you to apply changes to these types of clips.

What are MIDI clips?

100

When editing MIDI notes in the MIDI Editor window, this is how you change the duration of a MIDI note. 


What is clicking and dragging with the pencil tool?

200

This is the difference between the quietest and loudest parts of an audio signal. 

What is dynamic range?

200

When a less extreme form of gating is needed to create a more natural sound, you can change a gate into an expander by adjusting these two parameters. 

What are ratio and range?

200

Auditioning an audio clip in the workspace browser lets you hear clips before bringing them into your session. This keyboard shortcut allows you to quickly audition an audio clip. 

What is Control + Clicking?

200

This tool allows you to automatically change between the grabber, trim, and selector tools depending on where you place your cursor on a clip. 

What is the smart tool?

300

A brickwall limiter is an extreme form of compression, which is indicated by this compression ratio. 

What is infinity(∞):1?

300

To provide even more control over the dynamic range of a track, this compressor parameter recovers lost volume caused by the compression and also brings up the quieter parts of the signal.  

What is make up gain?

300

Rendering a virtual instrument as an audio clip to conserve real-time processing resources is the outcome of this option in Pro Tools. 



What is freeze track?

300

!! DAILY DOUBLE !!

This type of material references an absolute timeline, which does not allow it to automatically adjust when the tempo of a session is changed.

400

Most commonly used to tame the sibilance of a vocal track, this dynamic processor adjusts the dynamic range of high frequencies. 

What is a de-esser?

400

!! DAILY DOUBLE !!

These parameters will affect the reaction time of a dynamic processor each time the signal crosses the threshold.

400

Auditioning a fade, changing the slope, and editing the curve of a fade can all be done using this dialog box. 

What is the Fades Dialog Box?

400

Importing entire tracks and settings, in parts or in whole, from another Pro Tools session is done by using this tool. 

What is a Import Session Data?

500

Configuring a compressor in this way will allow more of the signal through before the compressor begins to engage. 


What is a slow attack?

500

Setting a compressor this way will hold the compression for a longer period of time, possibly causing it to run over and miss the next note or phrase. 

What is a slow release?

500

This Elastic Audio processor type is best suited for use on a single vocal track. 

What is monophonic?

500

This Elastic Audio feature can be used to anchor a point within an elastic audio clip to a fixed point.
