What does the frequency of a sound wave affect in how we perceive sound?
It creates our perception of pitch
How is frequency measured?
CPS or Hz
What does amplitude of the sound wave affect?
The amplitude of SPL creates our perception of the loudness of a sound
How is amplitude measured?
dB
How does sample rate relate to the frequency of audio it can capture?
To produce an accurate representation of a frequency each cycle of the sounds vibration must be
sampled a minimum of two times. 40 kHz is the minimum (2 x 20 kHz)
What is the name of the law that specifies the relationship between sample rate and frequency?
Nyquest Theorem or Sampling Theorem
1) How does the bit depth of a system relate to the dynamic range of audio it can capture?
2) How can you estimate the dynamic range of a system?
1) The larger the bit depth the greater the accuracy of the sample measurement
, 2) The quantify variations in amplitude with greater accuracy
How can you estimate the dynamic range of a system?
By multiplying the word size by six.
8 bits x 6 = 48dB or 16 bit x 6 = 96db dynamic range
1) What are some common digital connections available on pro tools audio interfaces?
2) What type of connector does each one use?
1) s/pdif (RCA)
2) AES/BEU (XLR)
