The Characters of Waveforms
Direct sounds, early reflections, and reverberations help inform a listener’s ________.
What is sense of space?
This waveform characteristic is measured in cycles per second
What is frequency?
This track type allows you to route audio through your session without recording it. It can be used as an FX return or destination for a submix.
What is an Aux Input track?
This is represented by the frequency range of 20 - 20,000 hertz.
What is the range of human hearing?
A logarithmic value that expresses the difference in intensities between two levels.
What are decibels?
This word is used to describe the way we perceive the harmonic content of a sound.
What is timbre?
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?
This is the area of study devoted to the brain's interpretation of sound.
What is psychoacoustics?
This type of device or bodily organ converts energy from one form (mechanical/acoustic) to another (electric/analog)
What is a transducer?
This is the domain that audio signal flowing through a mixing console exists in.
What is the analog (electrical) domain?
This type of track can be used to write MIDI data AND route audio signals generated by a virtual instrument for monitoring and playback purposes.
What is an Instrument track?
!!DAILY DOUBLE!!
This is how we categorized sounds that reach 140dB or above.
This waveform characteristic measures the amount of pressure created during sound wave propagation.
What is Amplitude?
Measured in degrees, this is the way that we measure the oscillation of a sound wave from positive to negative air pressure.
What is phase?
When using the Import Audio dialogue box, this button will reference the audio file’s original location and does not move it into the session’s audio files folder.
What is the Add button?
This is a spiral-shaped organ in your ear that contains tiny hairs which produce nerve impulses in response to certain frequencies.
What is the cochlea?
These types of waveforms account for virtually all naturally occurring sounds.
What is a complex waveform?
Waveforms propagate through the process of compression and _________.
What is rarefaction?
This is the number of MIDI channels that can be sent over a single MIDI cable.
What is 16?
This phenomenon indicates that humans are less sensitive to low and high range frequencies at lower listening levels.
What is the Fletcher-Munson Curve (Equal loudness contours)?
