What is sense of space?
Measured in cycles per second, this waveform characteristic is related to pitch.
What is frequency?
This is the standard audio file format that Pro Tools uses and does not require conversion to be used in a session
What is a wav?

What is 20 - 20,000 hertz?
Virtually all naturally occurring sounds create these types of waveforms.
What are complex waveforms?
This is how we perceive the harmonic content of a sound.
What is timbre?
This type of track in Pro Tools does not represent any audio information.
What is MIDI (a MIDI track)?
This can be protected by taking 15 minute breaks, wearing ear plugs in loud environments, and mixing at lower levels.
What is your hearing?
This waveform characteristic is the measurement of pressure created during sound wave propagation.
What is Amplitude?
