Best for material with clear attack transients, such as drums
40
describe the monophonic Elastic Audio Processor:
Best for mono material, such as vocals and bass guitar
41
describe the varispeed Elastic Audio Processor:
Links time and pitch changes for tape-like speed change effects
42
what is the The X-Form Processor?
Highest quality time compression algorithm | Rendered only
43
describe Real-Time Versus Rendered Processing:
Real-time is immediate, but is demanding on resources Rendered is slower, but reduces processing load
44
how do you Enable Elastic Audio?

false: Loud accented notes have higher confidence than soft unaccented notes
75
what would you Use the Elastic Properties Window for?
Can be used to reduce sensitivity: - Choose Clip > Elastic Properties, or Right-click clip and choose Elastic Properties - Reduce the Event Sensitivity setting
76
when using Using X-For, what should you complete Elastic Audio work with?
a real-time plug-in
77
what happens when you Change the processor on the track to X-Form?
Audio will go offline while being rendered to disk
78
true or false: X-Form processing can be time-consuming, so you should apply after all warping is complete
true
