Cards

Term
What do unsynchronized clock problems result in?
Definition

Definition
128 busses
Term
How many channels of I/O can each card in an HD system (Core Process or Accel) support?
Definition
32 channels of I/O
Term
True or False. A Process Card can support 2 interfaces.
Definition
True
Term
True or False. All HD systems use mic level ins and outs.
Definition
False all I/O are Line level
Term
What is the cause of "Disk too slow or fragmented error?"
Definition
Too low of a DAE Buffer Size.
Term
True or False. I/O Setup window is used for naming you I/O.
Definition
True
Term
True or False. If a track is DSP-delayed, place the Time Adjuster on it.
Definition
False. It should be placed on the uneffected tracks to match delay.
Term
What do we call the fetaure in PT's that delays each track enough to align with the track with the greatest DSP delay?
Definition
Auto Delay Compensation
Term
True or False. PT LE does not require Automatic Delay Compensation.
Definition
True
Term
What key do you hold down on a Mac to multi the output to an additional destination?
Definition
Control
Term
True or False. A "Hidden" Track can still be "mixed."
Definition
True. But NOT edited.
Term
Which uses less DSP: Multi-channel or Multi-mono plug-ins?
Definition
Multi-mono
Term
True or False. Greater bit depth equals greater amplitude resolution.
Definition
True
Term
How many mono busses does an HD system have?
Definition
128 busses
Term
True or False. Control surfaces with pre-amps are substitute for audio interfaces.
Definition
False
Term
What do we call the device that mirrors software controls with hardware controls?
Definition
Control Surface
Term
True or False. Audio routes normally through a control surface.
Definition
False
Term
What function disables the writing and erasing of automation, but not its playback?
Definition

Read Mode

OR

Auto Safe

Term
What feature reduces the number of automation breakpoints?
Definition
Thin Automation
Term
True or False. Each automation type has only one playlist per track.
Definition
True
Term
Which automation mode reads automation, writes/updates when a specific parameter is changed, then returns to the pre-existing automation when the control is released?
Definition
Touch Mode
Term
True or False. Trim Automation writes "relative values" rather than absolute values.
Definition
True
Term
True or False. Every control of a plug-in is automatable.
Definition
True
Term
True or False. You can drag and drop automation just like a region.
Definition

False

Term
True or False. The Nyquist Frequency is found by dividing the sampling rate by 2.
Definition
True
Term
True or False. PCM is a square wave used to represent binary code.
Definition
True
Term
What component removes fequencies from an analog audio signal that are too high to be sampled accurately at the selected sampling rate?
Definition
Anti-Imaging Filter
Term
What do unsynchronized clocks result in?
Definition
Jitter
Term
What component converts a sample into the signal voltage that it originally represented?
Definition
DAC: Digital to Analog Converter
Term
True or False. A multiplexer takes many channels of data and combines them, assigning each sample a number representing its' channel of origin.
Definition
True
Term
What do we call adding noise to prevent distortion in low amplitude levels?
Definition
Dithering
Term
What component in a digital audio system converts a sample of an analog signal into a number representing its amplitude level?
Definition
ADC: Analog to Digital Converter
Term
True or False. Higher sampling rates require more storage.
Definition
True
Term
True or False. A de-multiplexing is the opposite of a multiplexer.
Definition
True
Term
True or False. Color coding can help you keep sessions organized.
Definition
True.
Term
What quick key enables "Command Focus Mode" on a Mac?
Definition
Command+Option+1
Term
True or False. Replace region can only be used once.
Definition
False
Term
Turning off voices can be done in 4 ways. Name them.
Definition
Mute frees assigned voice; Voice=Off; No Output or Send; Make Inactive
Term
True or False. The Smart Tool's current fuction depends on cursor location within a region.
Definition
True
Term
True or False. The Universe Window shows even hidden tracks.
Definition
False
Term
True or False. A TDM system can have unlimited playlists.
Definition
True
Term
What function creates a position marker within a region.
Definition
Sync Point
Term
True or False. Unlink Edit and Timeline selection to nudge within a loop.
Definition
True
Term
True or False. MIDI clock ir MIDI Beat Clock is the same as SMPTE, it enables absolute sync rather than relative to tempo.
Definition
False
Term
True or False. Frames of video are deleted/dropped when using drop frame timecode.
