Study Notes
- Pro Tools 101 is a course with Lesson 1 focusing on Audio Basics.
- Waveform: Shape of sound, represents tone or timbre, signifies compression, rarefaction, frequency, cycle, and Hertz.
- Amplitude: Energy level, represented by height, measured in Decibels (dB), has a unit of sound pressure level (dB SPL).
- Audio in the Digital Domain: A/D and D/A conversion, samples and sample rates, follows Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem.
- Bit Depth: Common bit depths include 16, 24, and 32 bits, impacts dynamic range and file size significantly.
- Pro Tools: Introduction, evolved from analog tape to MIDI, developed by Avid in 1991, offers non-linear and non-destructive editing.
- Key features: Composes, records, mixes MIDI and audio, with a high-quality audio priority and a versatile workflow.
- Pro Tools versions: Artist, Studio, and Ultimate, have upgrade possibilities.
- Pro Tools system components: Requires a computer, keyboard shortcuts, supports native and DSP processing, and uses audio interfaces with various connections.
- Monitor speakers: Criteria include selection based on usage, closed-back or open-back construction.
- Pro Tools installation: Requires an Avid account, PACE iLok, and activation through Avid Link.
- Plug-ins installation: Procedure for post-secondary students involves specific installation steps.
